ESB

Error Synchronization Barrier is an error synchronization event that might also update DISR and VDISR. This instruction can be used at all Exception levels and in Debug state.

In Debug state, this instruction behaves as if SError interrupts are masked at all Exception levels. For more information, see RAS PE architecture and RAS System architecture.

If FEAT_RAS is not implemented, this instruction executes as a NOP.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If cond != '1110', then one of the following behaviors must occur:
