Instruction Operand Encoding

RRI ModRM:reg (w) ModRM:r/m (r, ModRM:[7:6] must be 11b) Imm8

Description

Shifts 8/16/32/64 bits in the second operand (source operand) left by the count specified in immediate byte and place the least significant 8/16/32/64 bits of the result in the destination operand. The higher bits of the destination are zero-extended. The destination is set to zero if the count value is greater than 7 (for byte shift), 15 (for word shift), 31 (for doubleword shift) or 63 (for quadword shift).

Operation

KSHIFTLW

COUNT ← imm8[7:0]
DEST[MAX_KL-1:0] ← 0
IF COUNT <=15
    THEN DEST[15:0]←SRC1[15:0] << COUNT;
FI;

KSHIFTLB

COUNT ← imm8[7:0]
DEST[MAX_KL-1:0] ← 0
IF COUNT <=7
    THEN DEST[7:0]←SRC1[7:0] << COUNT;
FI;

KSHIFTLQ

COUNT ← imm8[7:0]
DEST[MAX_KL-1:0] ← 0
IF COUNT <=63
    THEN DEST[63:0] ← SRC1[63:0] << COUNT;
FI;

KSHIFTLD

COUNT ← imm8[7:0]
DEST[MAX_KL-1:0] ← 0
IF COUNT <=31
    THEN DEST[31:0] ← SRC1[31:0] << COUNT;
FI;
