XBEGIN

Transactional Begin

참고 사항

Instruction Operand Encoding

Description

The XBEGIN instruction specifies the start of an RTM code region. If the logical processor was not already in trans-actional execution, then the XBEGIN instruction causes the logical processor to transition into transactional execu-tion. The XBEGIN instruction that transitions the logical processor into transactional execution is referred to as the outermost XBEGIN instruction. The instruction also specifies a relative offset to compute the address of the fallback code path following a transactional abort.

On an RTM abort, the logical processor discards all architectural register and memory updates performed during the RTM execution and restores architectural state to that corresponding to the outermost XBEGIN instruction. The fallback address following an abort is computed from the outermost XBEGIN instruction.

Operation

XBEGIN

IF RTM_NEST_COUNT < MAX_RTM_NEST_COUNT
    THEN
          RTM_NEST_COUNT++
          IF RTM_NEST_COUNT = 1 THEN

                            ELSE
                                  fallbackEIP <- EIP + SignExtend32(IMM)

    IF 64-bit mode
          THEN
                RIP <- fallbackRIP
