PACIA, PACIA1716, PACIASP, PACIAZ, PACIZA

Pointer Authentication Code for Instruction address, using key A. This instruction computes and inserts a pointer authentication code for an instruction address, using a modifier and key A.

The address is:

The modifier is:

It has encodings from 2 classes: Integer and System

Assembler Symbols

<Xd>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose source register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

if HavePACExt() then if source_is_sp then X[d] = AddPACIA(X[d], SP[]); else X[d] = AddPACIA(X[d], X[n]);
