GCSPOPM, Guarded Control Stack Pop

The GCSPOPM characteristics are:

Purpose

Loads the 64-bit doubleword that is pointed to by the current Guarded Control Stack Pointer, writes it to the destination register, and increments the current Guarded Control Stack Pointer register by the size of a Guarded Control Stack procedure return record.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when FEAT_GCS is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to GCSPOPM are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

GCSPOPM is a 64-bit System instruction.

Output
Output

Output, bits [63:0]

Output value for Guarded Control Stack procedure return record.

Executing GCSPOPM

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings in the System instruction encoding space:

GCSPOPM {<Xt>}

op0op1CRnCRmop2
0b010b0110b01110b01110b001

if !(IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_GCS) && IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_AA64)) then UNDEFINED; elsif GCSEnabled(PSTATE.EL) then X[t, 64] = GCSPOPM();
