Memory Copy, reads unprivileged. These instructions perform a memory copy. The prologue, main, and epilogue instructions are expected to be run in succession and to appear consecutively in memory: CPYPRT, then CPYMRT, and then CPYERT.
CPYPRT performs some preconditioning of the arguments suitable for using the CPYMRT instruction, and performs an implementation defined amount of the memory copy. CPYMRT performs an implementation defined amount of the memory copy. CPYERT performs the last part of the memory copy.
The inclusion of implementation defined amounts of memory copy allows some optimization of the size that can be performed.
For CPYPRT, the following saturation logic is applied:
If Xn<63:55> != 000000000, the copy size Xn is saturated to 0x007FFFFFFFFFFFFF.
After that saturation logic is applied, the direction of the memory copy is based on the following algorithm:
If (Xs > Xd) && (Xd + saturated Xn) > Xs, then direction = forward
Elsif (Xs < Xd) && (Xs + saturated Xn) > Xd, then direction = backward
Else direction = implementation defined choice between forward and backward.
The architecture supports two algorithms for the memory copy: option A and option B. Which algorithm is used is implementation defined.
Portable software should not assume that the choice of algorithm is constant.
After execution of CPYPRT, option A (which results in encoding PSTATE.C = 0):
After execution of CPYPRT, option B (which results in encoding PSTATE.C = 1):
For CPYMRT, option A (encoded by PSTATE.C = 0), the format of the arguments is:
For CPYMRT, option B (encoded by PSTATE.C = 1), the format of the arguments is:
For CPYERT, option A (encoded by PSTATE.C = 0), the format of the arguments is:
For CPYERT, option B (encoded by PSTATE.C = 1), the format of the arguments is:
