any feature of processor needed for instruction stur?

for arm cortex-a53 aarch64 mode,

with compile command "armclang.exe --target=aarch64-arm-none-eabi -mcpu=cortex-a53 "

sometimes I meet sync exception,and find stur instruction in disassembly code

is there any cpu feature or compiling option needed for stur?

anyway if I modify the C code so that there is only str (no stur) in disassembly code after compiling, no exception will occur.

any advice is admired, thanks.

  • Hi ,

    The STUR instruction is a base A64 instruction, which does not require any specific feature.

    A synchronous exception could be generated by the STUR instruction, though, such as a Data Abort exception.

    Do you know the values of the ESR_ELx and FAR_ELx registers when encountering exceptions?

    This could help with understanding what is going on.

    Best regards,

    Vincent.
