GCSSS1, Guarded Control Stack Switch Stack 1

The GCSSS1 characteristics are:

Purpose

Validates that the stack being switched to contains a Valid cap entry, stores an In-progress cap entry on to the stack that is getting switched to and sets the current Guarded Control Stack Pointer to the stack that is getting switched to.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when FEAT_GCS is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to GCSSS1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

GCSSS1 is a 64-bit System instruction.

Executing GCSSS1

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

GCSSS1 <Xt>

op0	op1	CRn	CRm	op2
0b01	0b011	0b0111	0b0111	0b010

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_GCS) then UNDEFINED; elsif GCSEnabled(PSTATE.EL) then GCSSS1(X[t, 64]);
