Memory Copy, reads and writes unprivileged, reads non-temporal. 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: CPYPTRN, then CPYMTRN, and then CPYETRN.
CPYPTRN performs some preconditioning of the arguments suitable for using the CPYMTRN instruction, and performs an implementation defined amount of the memory copy. CPYMTRN performs an implementation defined amount of the memory copy. CPYETRN 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 CPYPTRN, 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 CPYPTRN, option A (which results in encoding PSTATE.C = 0):
After execution of CPYPTRN, option B (which results in encoding PSTATE.C = 1):
For CPYMTRN, option A (encoded by PSTATE.C = 0), the format of the arguments is:
For CPYMTRN, option B (encoded by PSTATE.C = 1), the format of the arguments is:
For CPYETRN, option A (encoded by PSTATE.C = 0), the format of the arguments is:
For CPYETRN, option B (encoded by PSTATE.C = 1), the format of the arguments is:
