BRB INJ

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.

BRB INJ, Branch Record Injection into the Branch Record Buffer

Purpose

Configuration

This instruction is present only when FEAT_BRBE is implemented and FEAT_AA64 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to BRB INJ are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

Field descriptions

Executing BRB INJ

Rt should be encoded as 0b11111. If the Rt field is not set to 0b11111, it is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE whether:

The instruction is UNDEFINED.
The instruction behaves as if the Rt field is set to 0b11111.

This system instruction is an alias of the SYS instruction.

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings in the System instruction encoding space:
