Miscellaneous F-Unit Instructions
4.6.9.1
Break (F-Unit)
4.6.9.2
Nop/Hint (F-Unit)
F-unit nop and hint instructions are encoded within major opcode 0 using a 3-bit
opcode extension field in bits 35:33 (x
3
), a 6-bit opcode extension field in bits 32:27
(x
6
), and a 1-bit opcode extension field in bit 26 (y), as shown in
4.7
X-Unit Instruction Encodings
The X-unit instructions occupy two instruction slots, L+X. The major opcode, opcode
extensions and hints, qp, and small immediate fields occupy the X instruction slot. For
movl, break.x, and nop.x, the imm
41
field occupies the L instruction slot. For brl, the
imm
39
field and a 2-bit Ignored field occupy the L instruction slot.
4.7.1
Miscellaneous X-Unit Instructions
The miscellaneous X-unit instructions are encoded in major opcode 0 using a 3-bit
opcode extension field (x
3
) in bits 35:33 and a 6-bit opcode extension field (x
6
) in bits
32:27.
shows the 3-bit assignments and
summarizes the 6-bit
assignments. These instructions are executed by an I-unit.
