csrrw

Atomic Read/Write CSR

This instruction is defined by:

Encoding

svg

Synopsis

Atomically swap values in the CSRs and integer registers.

Read the old value of the CSR, zero-extends the value to XLEN bits, and then write it to integer register rd. The initial value in rs1 is written to the CSR. If rd=x0, then the instruction shall not read the CSR and shall not cause any of the side effects that might occur on a CSR read.

Decode Variables

Bits<12> csr = $encoding[31:20];
Bits<5> xs1 = $encoding[19:15];
Bits<5> xd = $encoding[11:7];

Execution

  • Pruned, XLEN == 64

  • Original

%%LINK%func;check_csr;check_csr%%(csr, true, $encoding);
Bits<MXLEN> initial_value = X[xs1];
if (xd != 0) {
  X[xd] = CSR[csr].sw_read();
}
CSR[csr].sw_write(initial_value);
%%LINK%func;check_csr;check_csr%%(csr, true, $encoding);
Bits<MXLEN> initial_value = X[xs1];
if (xd != 0) {
  X[xd] = CSR[csr].sw_read();
}
CSR[csr].sw_write(initial_value);

Exceptions

This instruction may result in the following synchronous exceptions:
