| 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><span class="samp">lr</span></samp>’ mnemonic denotes the instruction format ‘<samp><span class="samp">RR</span></samp>’ |
| with the operation code ‘<samp><span class="samp">0x18</span></samp>’. |
| |
| <p>The definition of the various mnemonics follows a scheme, where the first |
| character usually hint at the type of the instruction: |
| |
| <pre class="display"> |
| <p><table summary=""><tr align="left"><td valign="top">a </td><td valign="top">add instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">al</span></samp>’ for add logical 32-bit |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">b </td><td valign="top">branch instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">bc</span></samp>’ for branch on condition |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">c </td><td valign="top">compare or convert instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">cr</span></samp>’ for compare |
| register 32-bit |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">d </td><td valign="top">divide instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">dlr</span></samp>’ devide logical register |
| 64-bit to 32-bit |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">i </td><td valign="top">insert instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">ic</span></samp>’ insert character |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">l </td><td valign="top">load instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">ltr</span></samp>’ load and test register |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">mv </td><td valign="top">move instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">mvc</span></samp>’ move character |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">m </td><td valign="top">multiply instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">mh</span></samp>’ multiply halfword |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">n </td><td valign="top">and instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">ni</span></samp>’ and immediate |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">o </td><td valign="top">or instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">oc</span></samp>’ or character |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">sla, sll </td><td valign="top">shift left single instruction |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">sra, srl </td><td valign="top">shift right single instruction |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">st </td><td valign="top">store instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">stm</span></samp>’ store multiple |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">s </td><td valign="top">subtract instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">slr</span></samp>’ subtract |
| logical 32-bit |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">t </td><td valign="top">test or translate instruction, of example ‘<samp><span class="samp">tm</span></samp>’ test under mask |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">x </td><td valign="top">exclusive or instruction, for example ‘<samp><span class="samp">xc</span></samp>’ exclusive or |
| character |
| <br></td></tr></table> |
| </pre> |
| <p>Certain characters at the end of the mnemonic may describe a property |
| of the instruction: |
| |
| <pre class="display"> |
| <p><table summary=""><tr align="left"><td valign="top">c </td><td valign="top">the instruction uses a 8-bit character operand |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">f </td><td valign="top">the instruction extends a 32-bit operand to 64 bit |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">g </td><td valign="top">the operands are treated as 64-bit values |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">h </td><td valign="top">the operand uses a 16-bit halfword operand |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">i </td><td valign="top">the instruction uses an immediate operand |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">l </td><td valign="top">the instruction uses unsigned, logical operands |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">m </td><td valign="top">the instruction uses a mask or operates on multiple values |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">r </td><td valign="top">if r is the last character, the instruction operates on registers |
| <br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top">y </td><td valign="top">the instruction uses 20-bit displacements |
| <br></td></tr></table> |
| </pre> |
| <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><span class="samp">clgfr</span></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. |
