MLS -- AArch32

MLS

Multiply and Subtract multiplies two register values, and subtracts the product from a third register value. The least significant 32 bits of the result are written to the destination register. These 32 bits do not depend on whether the source register values are considered to be signed values or unsigned values.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

Encoding

MLS{<c>}{<q>} <Rd>, <Rn>, <Rm>, <Ra>

Decode for this encoding

let d : integer = UInt(Rd); let n : integer = UInt(Rn); let m : integer = UInt(Rm); let a : integer = UInt(Ra); if d == 15 || n == 15 || m == 15 || a == 15 then UnpredictableProcedure(); end;

Encoding

MLS{<c>}{<q>} <Rd>, <Rn>, <Rm>, <Ra>

Decode for this encoding

let d : integer = UInt(Rd); let n : integer = UInt(Rn); let m : integer = UInt(Rm); let a : integer = UInt(Ra); if d == 15 || n == 15 || m == 15 || a == 15 then UnpredictableProcedure(); end; // Armv8-A removes UNPREDICTABLE for R13

Assembler Symbols

<c>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<q>

See Standard assembler syntax fields.

<Rd>

Is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Rn>

Is the first general-purpose source register holding the multiplicand, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Rm>

Is the second general-purpose source register holding the multiplier, encoded in the "Rm" field.

<Ra>

Is the third general-purpose source register holding the minuend, encoded in the "Ra" field.

Operation

if ConditionPassed() then EncodingSpecificOperations(); let operand1 : integer = SInt(R(n)); // operand1 = UInt(R[n]) produces the same final results let operand2 : integer = SInt(R(m)); // operand2 = UInt(R[m]) produces the same final results let addend : integer = SInt(R(a)); // addend = UInt(R[a]) produces the same final results let result : integer = addend - operand1 * operand2; R(d) = result[31:0]; end;

Operational information

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About the DIT bit.
