Notes
Unless otherwise noted, instruction-related flags only apply to the use of that instruction from ARM CPU modes; information about Thumb modes is not reported.
VFP/NEON instruction availability can be determined via VFPSupport_Features.
1 Halfword load/store:
Halfword load/store instructions will only be reported as supported if the machines bus architecture supports them (e.g. the flag will never be set on a RiscPC)
2 WFE and WFI:
WFE (flag 57) is separated out from the other NOP/hint instructions (28) in order to account for the fact that uniprocessor systems typically support WFE by implementing it as a pure NOP – i.e. they do not enter a low-power state. On such systems it is therefore more favourable to use Portable_Idle when idling the CPU is desired. Note also that the WFI instruction should not be used directly (use Portable_Idle instead); even if the NOP hints are supported there’s no guarantee that the WFI instruction is supported (another instruction may be in use instead), or there may be errata or other machine-specific behaviours which need to be dealt with.
3 Memory access alignment modes:
The load/store alignment mode information returned by flags 58 and 59 indicates the capabilities of the CPU. By itself, the information does not indicate what the currently selected alignment mode is, nor does it guarantee that the OS will function if any given alignment mode is selected. If a program wishes to (e.g.) select between three different variants of a routine (rotated, unaligned, and aligned) then it should use OS_ReadSysInfo 8 to determine the alignment mode that the OS ROM was built for, and use the routine variant which matches that.
4 LDM/STM interruptibility
Flags 13-15 indicate the behaviour of LDM/STM instructions when the system is running in low interrupt latency mode (as configured in the system control register). Only one of the flags will be set.
