| <h4 class="subsubsection">9.37.3.2 Instruction Mnemonics</h4> |
| <a name="index-instruction-mnemonics_002c-s390"></a> |
| <a name="index-s390-instruction-mnemonics"></a> |
| |
| <p>All instructions documented in the Principles of Operation are supported |
| with the mnemonic and order of operands as described. |
| The instruction mnemonic identifies the instruction format |
| (<a href="s390-Formats.html#s390-Formats">s390 Formats</a>) and the specific operation code for the instruction. |
| For example, the ‘<samp>lr</samp>’ mnemonic denotes the instruction format ‘<samp>RR</samp>’ |
| with the operation code ‘<samp>0x18</samp>’. |
| </p> |
| <p>The definition of the various mnemonics follows a scheme, where the first |
| character usually hint at the type of the instruction: |
| </p> |
| <div class="display"> |
| <table> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">a</pre></td><td><pre class="display">add instruction, for example ‘<samp>al</samp>’ for add logical 32-bit</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">b</pre></td><td><pre class="display">branch instruction, for example ‘<samp>bc</samp>’ for branch on condition</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">c</pre></td><td><pre class="display">compare or convert instruction, for example ‘<samp>cr</samp>’ for compare |
| register 32-bit</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">d</pre></td><td><pre class="display">divide instruction, for example ‘<samp>dlr</samp>’ devide logical register |
| 64-bit to 32-bit</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">i</pre></td><td><pre class="display">insert instruction, for example ‘<samp>ic</samp>’ insert character</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">l</pre></td><td><pre class="display">load instruction, for example ‘<samp>ltr</samp>’ load and test register</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">mv</pre></td><td><pre class="display">move instruction, for example ‘<samp>mvc</samp>’ move character</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">m</pre></td><td><pre class="display">multiply instruction, for example ‘<samp>mh</samp>’ multiply halfword</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">n</pre></td><td><pre class="display">and instruction, for example ‘<samp>ni</samp>’ and immediate</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">o</pre></td><td><pre class="display">or instruction, for example ‘<samp>oc</samp>’ or character</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">sla, sll</pre></td><td><pre class="display">shift left single instruction</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">sra, srl</pre></td><td><pre class="display">shift right single instruction</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">st</pre></td><td><pre class="display">store instruction, for example ‘<samp>stm</samp>’ store multiple</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">s</pre></td><td><pre class="display">subtract instruction, for example ‘<samp>slr</samp>’ subtract |
| logical 32-bit</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">t</pre></td><td><pre class="display">test or translate instruction, of example ‘<samp>tm</samp>’ test under mask</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">x</pre></td><td><pre class="display">exclusive or instruction, for example ‘<samp>xc</samp>’ exclusive or |
| character</pre></td></tr> |
| </table> |
| </div> |
| |
| <p>Certain characters at the end of the mnemonic may describe a property |
| of the instruction: |
| </p> |
| <div class="display"> |
| <table> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">c</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the instruction uses a 8-bit character operand</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">f</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the instruction extends a 32-bit operand to 64 bit</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">g</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the operands are treated as 64-bit values</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">h</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the operand uses a 16-bit halfword operand</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">i</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the instruction uses an immediate operand</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">l</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the instruction uses unsigned, logical operands</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">m</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the instruction uses a mask or operates on multiple values</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">r</pre></td><td><pre class="display">if r is the last character, the instruction operates on registers</pre></td></tr> |
| <tr><td><pre class="display">y</pre></td><td><pre class="display">the instruction uses 20-bit displacements</pre></td></tr> |
| </table> |
| </div> |
| |
| <p>There are many exceptions to the scheme outlined in the above lists, in |
| particular for the priviledged instructions. For non-priviledged |
| instruction it works quite well, for example the instruction ‘<samp>clgfr</samp>’ |
| c: compare instruction, l: unsigned operands, g: 64-bit operands, |
| f: 32- to 64-bit extension, r: register operands. The instruction compares |
| an 64-bit value in a register with the zero extended 32-bit value from |
| a second register. |
| For a complete list of all mnemonics see appendix B in the Principles |
| of Operation. |
