This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

LDTRSW

Load register signed word (unprivileged)

This instruction loads a word from memory, sign-extends it to 64 bits, and writes the result to a register. The address that is used for the load is calculated from a base register and an immediate offset.

Explicit Memory effects produced by the instruction behave as if the instruction was executed at EL0 if the Effective value of PSTATE.UAO is 0 and either:

• The instruction is executed at EL1.
• The instruction is executed at EL2 when the Effective value of HCR_EL2().{E2H, TGE} is '11'.

Otherwise, the Explicit Memory effects operate with the restrictions determined by the Exception level at which the instruction is executed.

For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes.
