Instruction Set Transition Model Overview
Within the Itanium System Environment, the processor can execute either IA-32 or
Itanium instructions at any time. Three special instructions and interruptions are
defined to transition the processor between the IA-32 and the Itanium instruction set.
•
jmpe
(IA-32 instruction) Jump to an Itanium target instruction, and transition to the
Itanium instruction set.
•
br.ia
(Itanium instruction) Branch to an IA-32 target instruction, and change the
instruction set to IA-32.
•
rfi
(Itanium instruction) “Return from interruption” is defined to return to an IA-32
or Itanium instruction.
• Interrupts
transition the processor to the Itanium instruction set for all interrupt
conditions.
