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.

AUTDB, AUTDZB -- A64

AUTDB, AUTDZB

Authenticate data address, using key B

This instruction authenticates a data address, using a modifier and key B.

The address is in the general-purpose register that is specified by <Xd>.

The modifier is:

If the authentication passes, the upper bits of the address are restored to enable subsequent use of the address. For information on behavior if the authentication fails, see Faulting on pointer authentication.

Encoding for the AUTDB variant

Applies when (Z == 0)

AUTDB <Xd>, <Xn|SP>

Encoding for the AUTDZB variant

Applies when (Z == 1 && Rn == 11111)

AUTDZB <Xd>

Decode for all variants of this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_PAuth) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; if Z == '1' && Rn != '11111' then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let auth_combined : boolean = FALSE; let d : integer = UInt(Rd); let n : integer = UInt(Rn); let source_is_sp : boolean = Z == '0' && n == 31;

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 source_is_sp then X{64}(d) = AuthDB(X{64}(d), SP{64}(), auth_combined); else X{64}(d) = AuthDB(X{64}(d), X{64}(n), auth_combined); end;
