The x86 instruction set refers to the set of instructions that x86-compatible microprocessors support. The instructions are usually part of an executable program, often stored as a computer file and executed on the processor.

The x86 instruction set has been extended several times, introducing wider registers and datatypes as well as new functionality.[1]

x86 integer instructions

Main article: x86 assembly language

Below is the full 8086/8088 instruction set of Intel (81 instructions total). Most if not all of these instructions are available in 32-bit mode; they just operate on 32-bit registers (eax, ebx, etc.) and values instead of their 16-bit (ax, bx, etc.) counterparts. The updated instruction set is also grouped according to architecture (i386, i486, i686) and more generally is referred to as (32-bit) x86 and (64-bit) x86-64 (also known as AMD64).

Added with 80286

The new instructions added in 80286 add support for x86 protected mode. Some but not all of the instructions are available in real mode as well.

LIDT m16&32[a] 0F 01 /3 Load IDTR (Interrupt Descriptor Table Register) from memory.[b]
The IDTR controls not just the address/size of the IDT (interrupt Descriptor Table) in protected mode, but the IVT (Interrupt Vector Table) in real mode as well.
LMSW r/m16 0F 01 /6 Load MSW (Machine Status Word) from 16-bit register or memory.[b][c]
CLTS 0F 06 Clear task-switched flag in the MSW.

LTR r/m16 0F 00 /3 Load TR (Task Register) from 16-bit register or memory.[b]

The TSS (Task State Segment) specified by the 16-bit argument is marked busy, but a task switch is not done.

SGDT m16&32[a] 0F 01 /0 Store GDTR to memory. Yes Usually 3[d]
SIDT m16&32[a] 0F 01 /1 Store IDTR to memory.
SMSW r/m16 0F 01 /4 Store MSW to register or 16-bit memory.[e]

   eflags.zf = 1
else
   eflags.zf = 0
 #UD[g] 3
LAR r,r/m16 0F 02 /r Load access rights byte from the specified segment descriptor.
Reads bytes 4-7 of segment descriptor, bitwise-ANDs it with 0x00FxFF00,[h] then stores the bottom 16/32 bits of the result in destination register. Sets EFLAGS.ZF=1 if the descriptor could be loaded, ZF=0 otherwise. 		#UD
LSL r,r/m16 0F 03 /r Load segment limit from the specified segment descriptor. Sets ZF=1 if the descriptor could be loaded, ZF=0 otherwise.
VERR r/m16 0F 00 /4 Verify a segment for reading. Sets ZF=1 if segment can be read, ZF=0 otherwise.

 LOADALL[j]  0F 05 Load all CPU registers from a 102-byte data structure starting at physical address 800h, including "hidden" part of segment descriptor registers. Yes 0
 STOREALL[j]  F1 0F 04 Store all CPU registers to a 102-byte data structure starting at physical address 800h, then shut down CPU.
  1. ^ a b c d The descriptors used by the LGDT, LIDT, SGDT and SIDT instructions consist of a 2-part data structure. The first part is a 16-bit value, specifying table size in bytes minus 1. The second part is a 32-bit value (64-bit value in 64-bit mode), specifying the linear start address of the table.
    For LGDT and LIDT with a 16-bit operand size, the address is ANDed with 00FFFFFFh. On Intel (but not AMD) CPUs, the SGDT and SIDT instructions with a 16-bit operand size is – as of Intel SDM revision 079, March 2023 – documented to write a descriptor to memory with the last byte being set to 0. However, observed behavior is that bits 31:24 of the descriptor table address are written instead.[2]
  2. ^ a b c d e The LGDT, LIDT, LLDT, LMSW and LTR instructions are serializing on Pentium and later processors.
  3. ^ On 80386 and later, the "Machine Status Word" is the same as the CR0 control register – however, the LMSW instruction can only modify the bottom 4 bits of this register and cannot clear bit 0. The inability to clear bit 0 means that LMSW can be used to enter but not leave x86 Protected Mode.
    On 80286, it is not possible to leave Protected Mode at all (neither with LMSW nor with LOADALL[3]) without a CPU reset – on 80386 and later, it is possible to leave Protected Mode, but this requires the use of the 80386-and-later MOV to CR0 instruction.
  4. ^ If CR4.UMIP=1 is set, then the SGDT, SIDT, SLDT, SMSW and STR instructions can only run in Ring 0.
    These instructions were unprivileged on all x86 CPUs from 80286 onwards until the introduction of UMIP in 2017.[4] This has been a significant security problem for software-based virtualization, since it enables these instructions to be used by a VM guest to detect that it is running inside a VM.[5][6]
  5. ^ a b c The SMSW, SLDT and STR instructions always use an operand size of 16 bits when used with a memory argument. With a register argument on 80386 or later processors, wider destination operand sizes are available and behave as follows:
    • SMSW: Stores full CR0 in x86-64 long mode, undefined otherwise.
    • SLDT: Zero-extends 16-bit argument on Pentium Pro and later processors, undefined on earlier processors.
    • STR: Zero-extends 16-bit argument.
  6. ^ In 64-bit long mode, the ARPL instruction is not available – the 63 /r opcode has been reassigned to the 64-bit-mode-only MOVSXD instruction.
  7. ^ The ARPL instruction causes #UD in Real mode and Virtual 8086 Mode – Windows 95 and OS/2 2.x are known to make extensive use of this #UD to use the 63 opcode as a one-byte breakpoint to transition from Virtual 8086 Mode to kernel mode.[7][8]
  8. ^ Bits 19:16 of this mask are documented as "undefined" on Intel CPUs.[9] On AMD CPUs, the mask is documented as 0x00FFFF00.
  9. ^ On some Intel CPU/microcode combinations from 2019 onwards, the VERW instruction also flushes microarchitectural data buffers. This enables it to be used as part of workarounds for Microarchitectural Data Sampling security vulnerabilities.[10][11]
  10. ^ a b Undocumented, 80286 only.[3][12][13] (A different variant of LOADALL with a different opcode and memory layout exists on 80386.)

Added with 80386

The 80386 added support for 32-bit operation to the x86 instruction set. This was done by widening the general-purpose registers to 32 bits and introducing the concepts of OperandSize and AddressSize – most instruction forms that would previously take 16-bit data arguments were given the ability to take 32-bit arguments by setting their OperandSize to 32 bits, and instructions that could take 16-bit address arguments were given the ability to take 32-bit address arguments by setting their AddressSize to 32 bits. (Instruction forms that work on 8-bit data continue to be 8-bit regardless of OperandSize. Using a data size of 16 bits will cause only the bottom 16 bits of the 32-bit general-purpose registers to be modified – the top 16 bits are left unchanged.)

The default OperandSize and AddressSize to use for each instruction is given by the D bit of the segment descriptor of the current code segment - D=0 makes both 16-bit, D=1 makes both 32-bit. Additionally, they can be overridden on a per-instruction basis with two new instruction prefixes that were introduced in the 80386:

The 80386 also introduced the two new segment registers FS and GS as well as the x86 control, debug and test registers.

The new instructions introduced in the 80386 can broadly be subdivided into two classes:

For instruction forms where the operand size can be inferred from the instruction's arguments (e.g. ADD EAX,EBX can be inferred to have a 32-bit OperandSize due to its use of EAX as an argument), new instruction mnemonics are not needed and not provided.

PUSHFD 9C Push 32-bit EFLAGS register onto stack PUSHF Usually 3[i]
POPFD 9D Pop 32-bit EFLAGS register off stack POPF
IRETD CF 32-bit interrupt return. Differs from the older 16-bit IRET instruction in that it will pop interrupt return items (EIP,CS,EFLAGS; also ESP[j] and SS if there is a CPL change) off the stack as 32-bit items instead of 16-bit items. Should be used to return from interrupts when the interrupt handler was entered through a 32-bit IDT interrupt/trap gate.

Instruction is serializing.

IRET
  1. ^ For the 32-bit string instructions, the ±± notation is used to indicate that the indicated register is post-decremented by 4 if EFLAGS.DF=1 and post-incremented by 4 otherwise.
    For the operands where the DS segment is indicated, the DS segment can be overridden by a segment-override prefix – where the ES segment is indicated, the segment is always ES and cannot be overridden.
    The choice of whether to use the 16-bit SI/DI registers or the 32-bit ESI/EDI registers as the address registers to use is made by AddressSize, overridable with the 67 prefix.
  2. ^ The 32-bit string instructions accept repeat-prefixes in the same way as older 8/16-bit string instructions.
    For LODSD, STOSD, MOVSD, INSD and OUTSD, the REP prefix (F3) will repeat the instruction the number of times specified in rCX (CX or ECX, decided by AddressSize), decrementing rCX for each iteration (with rCX=0 resulting in no-op and proceeding to the next instruction).
    For CMPSD and SCASD, the REPE (F3) and REPNE (F2) prefixes are available, which will repeat the instruction but only as long as the flag condition (ZF=1 for REPE, ZF=0 for REPNE) holds true.
  3. ^ For the INSB/W/D instructions, the memory access rights for the ES:[rDI] memory address might not be checked until after the port access has been performed – if this check fails (e.g. page fault or other memory exception), then the data item read from the port is lost. As such, it is not recommended to use this instruction to access an I/O port that performs any kind of side effect upon read.
  4. ^ I/O port access is only allowed when CPL≤IOPL or the I/O port permission bitmap bits for the port to access are all set to 0.
  5. ^ The CWDE instruction differs from the older CWD instruction in that CWD would sign-extend the 16-bit value in AX into a 32-bit value in the DX:AX register pair.
  6. ^ For the E3 opcode (JCXZ/JECXZ), the choice of whether the instruction will use CX or ECX for its comparison (and consequently which mnemonic to use) is based on the AddressSize, not OperandSize. (OperandSize instead controls whether the jump destination should be truncated to 16 bits or not).
    This also applies to the loop instructions LOOP,LOOPE,LOOPNE (opcodes E0,E1,E2), however, unlike JCXZ/JECXZ, these instructions have not been given new mnemonics for their ECX-using variants.
  7. ^ For PUSHA(D), the value of SP/ESP pushed onto the stack is the value it had just before the PUSHA(D) instruction started executing.
  8. ^ For POPA/POPAD, the stack item corresponding to SP/ESP is popped off the stack (performing a memory read), but not placed into SP/ESP.
  9. ^ The PUSHFD and POPFD instructions will cause a #GP exception if executed in virtual 8086 mode if IOPL is not 3.
    The PUSHF, POPF, IRET and IRETD instructions will cause a #GP exception if executed in Virtual-8086 mode if IOPL is not 3 and VME is not enabled.
  10. ^ If IRETD is used to return from kernel mode to user mode (which will entail a CPL change) and the user-mode stack segment indicated by SS is a 16-bit segment, then the IRETD instruction will only restore the low 16 bits of the stack pointer (ESP/RSP), with the remaining bits keeping whatever value they had in kernel code before the IRETD. This has necessitated complex workarounds on both Linux ("ESPFIX")[14] and Windows.[15] This issue also affects the later 64-bit IRETQ instruction.

  1. ^ a b c d For the BT, BTS, BTR and BTC instructions:
    • If the first argument to the instruction is a register operand and/or the second argument is an immediate, then the bit-index in the second argument is taken modulo operand size (16/32/64, in effect using only the bottom 4, 5 or 6 bits of the index.)
    • If the first argument is a memory operand and the second argument is a register operand, then the bit-index in the second argument is used in full – it is interpreted as a signed bit-index that is used to offset the memory address to use for the bit test.
  2. ^ a b c The BTS, BTC and BTR instructions accept the LOCK (F0) prefix when used with a memory argument – this results in the instruction executing atomically.
  3. ^ If the F3 prefix is used with the 0F BC /r opcode, then the instruction will execute as TZCNT on systems that support the BMI1 extension. TZCNT differs from BSF in that TZCNT but not BSR is defined to return operand size if the source operand is zero – for other source operand values, they produce the same result.
  4. ^ a b BSF and BSR set the EFLAGS.ZF flag to 1 if the source argument was all-0s and 0 otherwise.
    If the source argument was all-0s, then the destination register is documented as being left unchanged on AMD processors, but set to an undefined value on Intel processors.
  5. ^ If the F3 prefix is used with the 0F BD /r opcode, then the instruction will execute as LZCNT on systems that support the ABM or LZCNT extensions. LZCNT produces a different result from BSR for most input values.
  6. ^ a b For SHLD and SHRD, the shift-amount is masked – the bottom 5 bits are used for 16/32-bit operand size and 6 bits for 64-bit operand size.
    SHLD and SHRD with 16-bit arguments and a shift-amount greater than 16 produce undefined results. (Actual results differ between different Intel CPUs, with at least three different behaviors known.[16])
  7. ^ a b The condition codes supported for the SETcc and Jcc near instructions (opcodes 0F 9x /0 and 0F 8x respectively, with the x nibble specifying the condition) are:
    x cc Condition (EFLAGS)
    0 O OF=1: "Overflow"
    1 NO OF=0: "Not Overflow"
    2 C,B,NAE CF=1: "Carry", "Below", "Not Above or Equal"
    3 NC,NB,AE CF=0: "Not Carry", "Not Below", "Above or Equal"
    4 Z,E ZF=1: "Zero", "Equal"
    5 NZ,NE ZF=0: "Not Zero", "Not Equal"
    6 NA,BE (CF=1 or ZF=1): "Not Above", "Below or Equal"
    7 A,NBE (CF=0 and ZF=0): "Above", "Not Below or Equal"
    8 S SF=1: "Sign"
    9 NS SF=0: "Not Sign"
    A P,PE PF=1: "Parity", "Parity Even"
    B NP,PO PF=0: "Not Parity", "Parity Odd"
    C L,NGE SF≠OF: "Less", "Not Greater Or Equal"
    D NL,GE SF=OF: "Not Less", "Greater Or Equal"
    E LE,NG (ZF=1 or SF≠OF): "Less or Equal", "Not Greater"
    F NLE,G (ZF=0 and SF=OF): "Not Less or Equal", "Greater"
  8. ^ For SETcc, while the opcode is commonly specified as /0 – implying that bits 5:3 of the instruction's ModR/M byte should be 000 – modern x86 processors (Pentium and later) ignore bits 5:3 and will execute the instruction as SETcc regardless of the contents of these bits.
  9. ^ For LFS, LGS and LSS, the size of the offset part of the far pointer is given by operand size – the size of the segment part is always 16 bits. In 64-bit mode, using the REX.W prefix with these instructions will cause them to load a far pointer with a 64-bit offset on Intel but not AMD processors.
  10. ^ a b c d e f For MOV to/from the CRx, DRx and TRx registers, the reg part of the ModR/M byte is used to indicate CRx/DRx/TRx register and r/m part the general-register. Uniquely for the MOV CRx/DRx/TRx opcodes, the top two bits of the ModR/M byte is ignored – these opcodes are decoded and executed as if the top two bits of the ModR/M byte are 11b.
  11. ^ a b c d For moves to/from the CRx and DRx registers, the operand size is always 64 bits in 64-bit mode and 32 bits otherwise.
  12. ^ On processors prior to Pentium, moves to CR0 would not serialize the instruction stream – in part for this reason, it is usually required to perform a far jump immediately after a MOV to CR0 if such a MOV is used to enable/disable protected mode and/or memory paging.
    MOV to CR2 is architecturally listed as serializing, but has been reported to be non-serializing on at least some Intel Core-i7 processors.[17]
    MOV to CR8 (introduced with x86-64) is not serializing.
  13. ^ a b The MOV TRx instructions were discontinued from Pentium onwards.
  14. ^ The INT1/ICEBP (F1) instruction is present on all known Intel x86 processors from the 80386 onwards,[18] but only fully documented for Intel processors from the May 2018 release of the Intel SDM (rev 067) onwards.[19] Before this release, mention of the instruction in Intel material was sporadic, e.g. AP-526 rev 001.[20]
    For AMD processors, the instruction has been documented since 2002.[21]
  15. ^ The operation of the F1(ICEBP) opcode differs from the operation of the regular software interrupt opcode CD 01 in several ways:
      In protected mode, CD 01 will check CPL against the interrupt descriptor's DPL field as an access-rights check, while F1 will not.
    • In virtual-8086 mode, CD 01 will also check CPL against IOPL as an access-rights check, while F1 will not.
    • In virtual-8086 mode with VME enabled, interrupt redirection is supported for CD 01 but not F1.
  16. ^ The UMOV instruction is present on 386 and 486 processors only.[18]
  17. ^ a b The XBTS and IBTS instructions were discontinued with the B1 stepping of 80386.
    They have been used by software mainly for detection of the buggy[22] B0 stepping of the 80386. Microsoft Windows (v2.01 and later) will attempt to run the XBTS instruction as part of its CPU detection if CPUID is not present, and will refuse to boot if XBTS is found to be working.[23]
  18. ^ a b For XBTS and IBTS, the r/m argument represents the data to extract/insert a bitfield from/to, the reg argument the bitfield to be inserted/extracted, AX/EAX a bit-offset and CL a bitfield length.[24]
  19. ^ Undocumented, 80386 only.[25]

Added with 80486

Instruction Opcode Description Ring
BSWAP r32 0F C8+r Byte Order Swap. Usually used to convert between big-endian and little-endian data representations. For 32-bit registers, the operation performed is:
r =   (r << 24)
    | ((r << 8) & 0x00FF0000)
    | ((r >> 8) & 0x0000FF00)
    | (r >> 24);

Using BSWAP with a 16-bit register argument produces an undefined result.[a]

3
CMPXCHG r/m8,r8 0F B0 /r[b] Compare and Exchange. If accumulator (AL/AX/EAX/RAX) compares equal to first operand,[c] then EFLAGS.ZF is set to 1 and the first operand is overwritten with the second operand. Otherwise, EFLAGS.ZF is set to 0, and first operand is copied into the accumulator.

Instruction atomic only if used with LOCK prefix.

CMPXCHG r/m,r16
CMPXCHG r/m,r32 		0F B1 /r[b]
XADD r/m,r8 0F C0 /r eXchange and ADD. Exchanges the first operand with the second operand, then stores the sum of the two values into the destination operand.

Instruction atomic only if used with LOCK prefix.

XADD r/m,r16
XADD r/m,r32 		0F C1 /r
INVLPG m8 0F 01 /7 Invalidate the TLB entries that would be used for the 1-byte memory operand.[d]

Instruction is serializing.

0
INVD 0F 08 Invalidate Internal Caches.[e] Modified data in the cache are not written back to memory, potentially causing data loss.[f]
WBINVD NFx 0F 09[g] Write Back and Invalidate Cache.[e] Writes back all modified cache lines in the processor's internal cache to main memory and invalidates the internal caches.
  1. ^ Using BSWAP with 16-bit registers isn't disallowed per se (it will execute without producing an #UD or other exceptions) but is documented to produce undefined results – it is reported to produce various different results on 486,[26] 586, and Bochs/QEMU.[27]
  2. ^ a b On Intel 80486 stepping A,[28] the CMPXCHG instruction uses a different encoding - 0F A6 /r for 8-bit variant, 0F A7 /r for 16/32-bit variant. The 0F B0/B1 encodings are used on 80486 stepping B and later.[29][30]
  3. ^ The CMPXCHG instruction sets EFLAGS in the same way as a CMP instruction that uses the accumulator (AL/AX/EAX/RAX) as its first argument would do.
  4. ^ INVLPG executes as no-operation if the m8 argument is invalid (e.g. unmapped page or non-canonical address).
    INVLPG can be used to invalidate TLB entries for individual global pages.
  5. ^ a b The INVD and WBINVD instructions will invalidate all cache lines in the CPU's L1 caches. It is implementation-defined whether they will invalidate L2/L3 caches as well.
    These instructions are serializing – on some processors, they may block interrupts until completion as well.
  6. ^ If the PRM (Processor Reserved Memory) has been set up by using the PRMRRs (PRM range registers), then the INVD instruction is not permitted and will cause a #GP(0) exception. (The PRM is needed for Intel SGX.)[31]
  7. ^ If the F3 prefix is used with the 0F 09 opcode, then the instruction will execute as WBNOINVD on processors that support the WBNOINVD extension – this will not invalidate the cache.

  1. ^ On Intel and AMD CPUs, the WRMSR instruction is also used to update the CPU microcode. This is done by writing the virtual address of the new microcode to upload to MSR 79h on Intel CPUs and MSR C001_0020h[33] on AMD CPUs.
  2. ^ Writes to the following MSRs are not serializing:[34]
    Number Name
    48h SPEC_CTRL
    49h PRED_CMD
    122h TSX_CTRL
    6E0h TSC_DEADLINE

    774h HWP_REQUEST
    (non-serializing only if the FAST_IA32_­HWP_REQUEST bit it set)
    802h to 83Fh (x2APIC MSRs)
    C001_011Bh Doorbell Register (AMD)
  3. ^ System Management Mode and the RSM instruction were made available on non-SL variants of the Intel 486 only after the initial release of the Intel Pentium in 1993.
  4. ^ On some older 32-bit processors, executing CPUID with a leaf index (EAX) greater than 0 may leave EBX and ECX unmodified, keeping their old values. For this reason, it is recommended to zero out EBX and ECX before executing CPUID.
    Processors noted to exhibit this behavior include Cyrix MII[39] and IDT WinChip 2.[40]

    In 64-bit mode, CPUID will set the top 32 bits of RAX, RBX, RCX and RDX to zero.
  5. ^ On some Intel processors starting from Ivy Bridge, there exists MSRs that can be used to restrict CPUID to ring 0. Such MSRs are documented for at least Ivy Bridge[41] and Denverton.[42]
    The ability to restrict CPUID to ring 0 also exists on AMD processors supporting the "CpuidUserDis" feature (Zen 4 "Raphael" and later).[43]
  6. ^ a b CPUID is also available on some Intel and AMD 486 processor variants that were released after the initial release of the Intel Pentium.
  7. ^ On the Cyrix 5x86 and 6x86 CPUs, CPUID is not enabled by default and must be enabled through a Cyrix configuration register.
  8. ^ On NexGen CPUs, CPUID is only supported with some system BIOSes. On some NexGen CPUs that do support CPUID, EFLAGS.ID is not supported but EFLAGS.AC is, complicating CPU detection.[44]
  9. ^ Unlike the older CMPXCHG instruction, the CMPXCHG8B instruction does not modify any EFLAGS bits other than ZF.
  10. ^ LOCK CMPXCHG8B with a register operand (which is an invalid encoding) can cause hangs on some Intel Pentium CPUs (Pentium F00F bug).
  11. ^ a b c On IDT WinChip, Transmeta Crusoe and Rise mP6 processors, the CMPXCHG8B instruction is always supported, however its CPUID bit may be missing. This is a workaround for a bug in Windows NT.[45]
  12. ^ a b The RDTSC and RDPMC instructions are not ordered with respect to other instructions, and may sample their respective counters before earlier instructions are executed or after later instructions have executed. Invocations of RDPMC (but not RDTSC) may be reordered relative to each other even for reads of the same counter.
    In order to impose ordering with respect to other instructions, LFENCE or serializing instructions (e.g. CPUID) are needed.[46]
  13. ^ Fixed-rate TSC was introduced in two stages:
    Constant TSC
    TSC running at a fixed rate as long as the processor core is not in a deep-sleep (C2 or deeper) mode, but not synchronized between CPU cores. Introduced in Intel Prescott, Yonah and Bonnell. Also present in all Transmeta and VIA Nano[47] CPUs. Does not have a CPUID bit.
    Invariant TSC
    TSC running at a fixed rate, and remaining synchronized between CPU cores in all P-,C- and T-states (but not necessarily S-states).
    Present in AMD K10 and later; Intel Nehalem/Saltwell[48] and later; Zhaoxin LuJiaZui[49] and later. Indicated with a CPUID bit (leaf 8000_0007:EDX[8]).
  14. ^ RDTSC can be run outside Ring 0 only if CR4.TSD=0.
    On Intel Pentium and AMD K5, RDTSC cannot be run in Virtual-8086 mode.[50] Later processors removed this restriction.
  15. ^ RDPMC can be run outside Ring 0 only if CR4.PCE=1.
  16. ^ The RDPMC instruction is not present in VIA processors prior to the Nano.
  17. ^ The condition codes supported for CMOVcc instruction (opcode 0F 4x /r, with the x nibble specifying the condition) are:
    x cc Condition (EFLAGS)
    0 O OF=1: "Overflow"
    1 NO OF=0: "Not Overflow"
    2 C,B,NAE CF=1: "Carry", "Below", "Not Above or Equal"
    3 NC,NB,AE CF=0: "Not Carry", "Not Below", "Above or Equal"
    4 Z,E ZF=1: "Zero", "Equal"
    5 NZ,NE ZF=0: "Not Zero", "Not Equal"
    6 NA,BE (CF=1 or ZF=1): "Not Above", "Below or Equal"
    7 A,NBE (CF=0 and ZF=0): "Above", "Not Below or Equal"
    8 S SF=1: "Sign"
    9 NS SF=0: "Not Sign"
    A P,PE PF=1: "Parity", "Parity Even"
    B NP,PO PF=0: "Not Parity", "Parity Odd"
    C L,NGE SF≠OF: "Less", "Not Greater Or Equal"
    D NL,GE SF=OF: "Not Less", "Greater Or Equal"
    E LE,NG (ZF=1 or SF≠OF): "Less or Equal", "Not Greater"
    F NLE,G (ZF=0 and SF=OF): "Not Less or Equal", "Greater"
  18. ^ In 64-bit mode, CMOVcc with a 32-bit operand size will clear the upper 32 bits of the destination register even if the condition is false.
    For CMOVcc with a memory source operand, the CPU will always read the operand from memory – potentially causing memory exceptions and cache line-fills – even if the condition for the move is not satisfied. (The Intel APX extension defines an EVEX-encoded variant of CMOVcc that will suppress memory exceptions if the condition is false.)
  19. ^ Unlike other instructions added in Pentium Pro, long NOP does not have a CPUID feature bit.
  20. ^ 0F 1F /0 as long-NOP was introduced in the Pentium Pro, but remained undocumented until 2006.[52] The whole 0F 18..1F opcode range was NOP in Pentium Pro. However, except for 0F 1F /0, Intel does not guarantee that these opcodes will remain NOP in future processors, and have indeed assigned some of these opcodes to other instructions in at least some processors.[53]
  21. ^ Documented for AMD x86-64 since 2002.[54]
  22. ^ While the 0F 0B opcode was officially reserved as an invalid opcode from Pentium onwards, it only got assigned the mnemonic UD2 from Pentium Pro onwards.[55]
  23. ^ a b GNU Binutils have used the UD2A and UD2B mnemonics for the 0F 0B and 0F B9 opcodes since version 2.7.[56]
    Neither UD2A nor UD2B originally took any arguments - UD2B was later modified to accept a ModR/M byte, in Binutils version 2.30.[57]
  24. ^ a b The UD0/1/2 opcodes - 0F 0B, 0F B9 and 0F FF - will cause an #UD exception on all x86 processors from the 80186 onwards (except NEC V-series processors), but did not get explicitly reserved for this purpose until P5-class processors.
  25. ^ While the 0F B9 opcode was officially reserved as an invalid opcode from Pentium onwards, it only got assigned its mnemonic UD1 much later – AMD APM started listing UD1 in its opcode maps from rev 3.17 onwards,[59] while Intel SDM started listing it from rev 061 onwards.[60]
  26. ^ a b For both the 0F B9 and 0F FF opcodes, different x86 implementations are known to differ regarding whether the opcodes accept a ModR/M byte.[61][62]
  27. ^ For the 0F FF opcode, the OIO mnemonic was introduced by Cyrix,[63] while the UD0 menmonic (without arguments) was introduced by AMD and Intel at the same time as the UD1 mnemonic for 0F B9.[59][60] Later Intel (but not AMD) documentation modified its description of UD0 to add a ModR/M byte and take two arguments.[64]
  28. ^ On K6, the SYSCALL/SYSRET instructions were available on Model 7 (250nm "Little Foot") and later, not on the earlier Model 6.[66]
  29. ^ SYSCALL and SYSRET were made an integral part of x86-64 – as a result, the instructions are available in 64-bit mode on all x86-64 processors from AMD, Intel, VIA and Zhaoxin.
    Outside 64-bit mode, the instructions are available on AMD processors only.

Added as instruction set extensions

Added with x86-64

These instructions can only be encoded in 64 bit mode. They fall in four groups:

Most instructions with a 64 bit operand size encode this using a REX.W prefix; in the absence of the REX.W prefix, the corresponding instruction with 32 bit operand size is encoded. This mechanism also applies to most other instructions with 32 bit operand size. These are not listed here as they do not gain a new mnemonic in Intel syntax when used with a 64 bit operand size.

CQO REX.W 99 Sign extend RAX into RDX:RAX
CMPSQ REX.W A7 CoMPare String Quadword

  1. ^ The memory operand to CMPXCHG16B must be 16-byte aligned.
  2. ^ The CMPXCHG16B instruction was absent from a few of the earliest Intel/AMD x86-64 processors. On Intel processors, the instruction was missing from Xeon "Nocona" stepping D,[73] but added in stepping E.[74] On AMD K8 family processors, it was added in stepping F, at the same time as DDR2 support was introduced.[75]
    For this reason, CMPXCHG16B has its own CPUID flag, separate from the rest of x86-64.
  3. ^ Encodings of MOVSXD without REX.W prefix are permitted but discouraged[76] – such encodings behave identically to 16/32-bit MOV (8B /r).

Bit manipulation extensions

Main article: X86 Bit manipulation instruction set

Bit manipulation instructions. For all of the VEX-encoded instructions defined by BMI1 and BMI2, the operand size may be 32 or 64 bits, controlled by the VEX.W bit – none of these instructions are available in 16-bit variants.

  1. ^ On AMD CPUs, the "ABM" extension provides both POPCNT and LZCNT. On Intel CPUs, however, the CPUID bit for "ABM" is only documented to indicate the presence of the LZCNT instruction and is listed as "LZCNT", while POPCNT has its own separate CPUID feature bit.
    However, all known processors that implement the "ABM"/"LZCNT" extensions also implement POPCNT and set the CPUID feature bit for POPCNT, so the distinction is theoretical only.
    (The converse is not true – there exist processors that support POPCNT but not ABM, such as Intel Nehalem and VIA Nano 3000.)
  2. ^ The LZCNT instruction will execute as BSR on systems that do not support the LZCNT or ABM extensions. BSR computes the index of the highest set bit in the source operand, producing a different result from LZCNT for most input values.
  3. ^ The TZCNT instruction will execute as BSF on systems that do not support the BMI1 extension. BSF produces the same result as TZCNT for all input operand values except zero – for which TZCNT returns input operand size, but BSF produces undefined behavior (leaves destination unmodified on most modern CPUs).
  4. ^ For BEXTR, the start position and length are not masked and can take values from 0 to 255. If the selected bits extend beyond the end of the r/m argument (which has the usual 32/64-bit operand size), then the excess bits are read out as 0.
  5. ^ On AMD processors before Zen 3, the PEXT and PDEP instructions are quite slow[77] and exhibit data-dependent timing due to the use of a microcoded implementation (about 18 to 300 cycles, depending on the number of bits set in the mask argument). As a result, it is often faster to use other instruction sequences on these processors.[78][79]

Added with Intel CET

Intel CET (Control-Flow Enforcement Technology) adds two distinct features to help protect against security exploits such as return-oriented programming: a shadow stack (CET_SS), and indirect branch tracking (CET_IBT).

CET Subset Instruction Opcode Description Ring Added in
CET_SS
Shadow stack.
When shadow stacks are enabled, return addresses are pushed on both the regular stack and the shadow stack when a function call is made. They are then both popped on return from the function call – if they do not match, then the stack is assumed to be corrupted, and a #CP exception is issued.
The shadow stack is additionally required to be stored in specially marked memory pages which cannot be modified by normal memory store instructions.

SETSSBSY F3 0F 01 E8 Mark shadow stack busy
CLRSSBSY m64 F3 0F AE /6 Clear shadow stack busy flag
CET_IBT
Indirect Branch Tracking.
When IBT is enabled, an indirect branch (jump, call, return) to any instruction that is not an ENDBR32/64 instruction will cause a #CP exception.
 ENDBR32 F3 0F 1E FB Terminate indirect branch in 32-bit mode[b] 3 Tiger Lake
ENDBR64 F3 0F 1E FA Terminate indirect branch in 64-bit mode[b]
NOTRACK 3E[c] Prefix used with indirect CALL/JMP near instructions (opcodes FF /2 and FF /4) to indicate that the branch target is not required to start with an ENDBR32/64 instruction. Prefix only honored when NO_TRACK_EN flag is set.
  1. ^ a b The RDSSPD and RDSSPQ instructions act as NOPs on processors where shadow stacks are disabled or CET is not supported.
  2. ^ a b ENDBR32 and ENDBR64 act as NOPs on processors that don't support CET_IBT or where IBT is disabled.
  3. ^ This prefix has the same encoding as the DS: segment override prefix – as of April 2022, Intel documentation does not appear to specify whether this prefix also retains its old segment-override function when used as a no-track prefix, nor does it provide an official mnemonic for this prefix.[80][81] (GNU binutils use "notrack"[82])

  1. ^ a b c AMD Athlon processors prior to the Athlon XP did not support full SSE, but did introduce the non-SIMD instructions of SSE as part of "MMX Extensions".[83] These extensions (without full SSE) are also present on Geode GX2 and later Geode processors.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g All of the PREFETCH* instructions are hint instructions with effects only on performance, not program semantics. Providing an invalid address (e.g. address of an unmapped page or a non-canonical address) will cause the instruction to act as a NOP without any exceptions generated.
  3. ^ a b c For the SFENCE, LFENCE and MFENCE instructions, the bottom 3 bits of the ModR/M byte are ignored, and any value of x in the range 0..7 will result in a valid instruction.
  4. ^ The SFENCE instruction ensures that all memory stores after the SFENCE instruction are made globally observable after all memory stores before the SFENCE. This imposes ordering on stores that can otherwise be reordered, such as non-temporal stores and stores to WC (Write-Combining) memory regions.[84]
    On Intel CPUs, as well as AMD CPUs from Zen1 onwards (but not older AMD CPUs), SFENCE also acts as a reordering barrier on cache flushes/writebacks performed with the CLFLUSH, CLFLUSHOPT and CLWB instructions. (Older AMD CPUs require MFENCE to order CLFLUSH.)
    SFENCE is not ordered with respect to LFENCE, and an SFENCE+LFENCE sequence is not sufficient to prevent a load from being reordered past a previous store.[85] To prevent such reordering, it is necessary to execute an MFENCE, LOCK or a serializing instruction.
  5. ^ The LFENCE instruction ensures that all memory loads after the LFENCE instruction are made globally observable after all memory loads before the LFENCE.
    On all Intel CPUs that support SSE2, the LFENCE instruction provides a stronger ordering guarantee:[86] it is dispatch-serializing, meaning that instructions after the LFENCE instruction are allowed to start executing only after all instructions before it have retired (which will ensure that all preceding loads but not necessarily stores have completed). The effect of dispatch-serialization is that LFENCE also acts as a speculation barrier and a reordering barrier for accesses to non-memory resources such as performance counters (accessed through e.g. RDTSC or RDPMC) and x2apic MSRs.
    On AMD CPUs, LFENCE is not necessarily dispatch-serializing by default – however, on all AMD CPUs that support any form of non-dispatch-serializing LFENCE, it can be made dispatch-serializing by setting bit 1 of MSR C001_1029.[87]
  6. ^ The MFENCE instruction ensures that all memory loads, stores and cacheline-flushes after the MFENCE instruction are made globally observable after all memory loads, stores and cacheline-flushes before the MFENCE.
    On Intel CPUs, MFENCE is not dispatch-serializing, and therefore cannot be used to enforce ordering on accesses to non-memory resources such as performance counters and x2apic MSRs. MFENCE is still ordered with respect to LFENCE, so if a memory barrier with dispatch serialization is needed, then it can be obtained by issuing an MFENCE followed by an LFENCE.[46]
    On AMD CPUs, MFENCE is serializing.
  7. ^ The operation of the PAUSE instruction in 64-bit mode is, unlike NOP, unaffected by the presence of the REX.R prefix. Neither NOP nor PAUSE are affected by the other bits of the REX prefix. A few examples of opcode 90 with various prefixes in 64-bit mode are:
    • 90 is NOP
    • 41 90 is XCHG R8D,EAX
    • 4E 90 is NOP
    • 49 90 is XCHG R8,RAX
    • F3 90 is PAUSE
    • F3 41 90 is PAUSE
    • F3 4F 90 is PAUSE
  8. ^ The actual length of the pause performed by the PAUSE instruction is implementation-dependent.
    On systems without SSE2, PAUSE will execute as NOP.
  9. ^ Under VT-x or AMD-V virtualization, executing PAUSE many times in a short time interval may cause a #VMEXIT. The number of PAUSE executions and interval length that can trigger #VMEXIT are platform-specific.
  10. ^ While the CLFLUSH instruction was introduced together with SSE2, it has its own CPUID flag and may be present on processors not otherwise implementing SSE2 and/or absent from processors that otherwise implement SSE2. (E.g. AMD Geode LX supports CLFLUSH but not SSE2.)
  11. ^ While the MONITOR and MWAIT instructions were introduced at the same time as SSE3, they have their own CPUID flag that needs to be checked separately from the SSE3 CPUID flag (e.g. Athlon64 X2 and VIA C7 supported SSE3 but not MONITOR.)
  12. ^ a b For the MONITOR and MWAIT instructions, older Intel documentation[88] lists instruction mnemonics with explicit operands (MONITOR EAX,ECX,EDX and MWAIT EAX,ECX), while newer documentation omits these operands. Assemblers/disassemblers may support one or both of these variants.[89]
  13. ^ For MONITOR, the DS: segment can be overridden with a segment prefix.
    The memory area that will be monitored will be not just the single byte specified by DS:rAX, but a linear memory region containing the byte – the size and alignment of this memory region is implementation-dependent and can be queried through CPUID.
    The memory location to monitor should have memory type WB (write-back cacheable), or else monitoring may fail.
  14. ^ As of March 2023, no extensions or hints have been defined for the MONITOR instruction. As such, the instruction requires ECX=0 and ignores EDX.
  15. ^ On some processors, such as Intel Xeon Phi x200[90] and AMD K10[91] and later, there exist documented MSRs that can be used to enable MONITOR and MWAIT to run in Ring 3.
  16. ^ The wait performed by MWAITmay be ended by system events other than a memory write (e.g. cacheline evictions, interrupts) – the exact set of events that can cause the wait to end is implementation-specific.
    Regardless of whether the wait was ended by a memory write or some other event, monitoring will have ended and it will be necessary to set up monitoring again with MONITOR before performing any further MWAITs.
  17. ^ The extension flags available for MWAIT in the ECX register are:
    Bits MWAIT Extension
    0 Treat interrupts as break events, even when masked (EFLAGS.IF=0). (Available on all non-NetBurst implementations of MWAIT.)
    1 Timed MWAIT: end the wait when the TSC reaches or exceeds the value in EDX:EBX. (Undocumented, reportedly present in Intel Skylake and later Intel processors)[92]
    31:2 Not used, must be set to zero.
  18. ^ The hint flags available for MWAIT in the EAX register are:
    Bits MWAIT Hint
    3:0 Sub-state within a C-state (see bits 7:4) (Intel processors only)
    7:4 Target CPU power C-state during wait, minus 1. (E.g. 0000b for C1, 0001b for C2, 1111b for C0)
    31:8 Not used.

    The C-states are processor-specific power states, which do not necessarily correspond 1:1 to ACPI C-states.

  19. ^ For the GETSEC instruction, the REX.W prefix enables 64-bit addresses for the EXITAC leaf function only - REX prefixes are otherwise permitted but ignored for the instruction.
  20. ^ The leaf functions defined for GETSEC (selected by EAX) are:
    EAX Function
    0 (CAPABILITIES) Report SMX capabilities
    2 (ENTERACCES) Enter execution of authenticated code module
    3 (EXITAC) Exit execution of authenticated code module
    4 (SENTER) Enter measured environment
    5 (SEXIT) Exit measured environment
    6 (PARAMETERS) Report SMX parameters
    7 (SMCTRL) SMX Mode Control
    8 (WAKEUP) Wake up sleeping processors in measured environment

    Any unsupported value in EAX causes an #UD exception.

  21. ^ For GETSEC, most leaf functions are restricted to Ring 0, but the CAPABILITIES (EAX=0) and PARAMETERS (EAX=6) leaf functions are available in Ring 3.
  22. ^ XSAVE was added in steppings E0/R0 of Penryn and is not available in earlier steppings.
  23. ^ On some processors (starting with Skylake, Goldmont and Zen 1), executing XGETBV with ECX=1 is permitted – this will not return XCR1 (no such register exists) but instead return XCR0 bitwise-ANDed with the current value of the "XINUSE" state-component bitmap (a bitmap of XSAVE state-components that are not known to be in their initial state).
    The presence of this functionality of XGETBV is indicated by CPUID.(EAX=0Dh,ECX=1):EAX[bit 2].
  24. ^ a b The "core ID" value read by RDTSCP and RDPID is actually the TSC_AUX MSR (MSR C000_0103h). Whether this value actually corresponds to a processor ID is a matter of operating system convention.
  25. ^ Unlike the older RDTSC instruction, RDTSCP will delay the TSC read until all previous instructions have retired, guaranteeing ordering with respect to preceding memory loads (but not stores). RDTSCP is not ordered with respect to subsequent instructions, though.
  26. ^ RDTSCP can be run outside Ring 0 only if CR4.TSD=0.
  27. ^ Support for RDTSCP was added in stepping F of the AMD K8, and is not available on earlier steppings.
  28. ^ While the POPCNT instruction was introduced at the same time as SSE4.2, it is not considered to be a part of SSE4.2, but instead a separate extension with its own CPUID flag.
    On AMD processors, it is considered to be a part of the ABM extension, but still has its own CPUID flag.
  29. ^ The invalidation types defined for INVPCID (selected by register argument) are:
    Value Function
    0 Invalidate TLB entries matching PCID and virtual memory address in descriptor, excluding global entries
    1 Invalidate TLB entries matching PCID in descriptor, excluding global entries
    2 Invalidate all TLB entries, including global entries
    3 Invalidate all TLB entries, excluding global entries

    Any unsupported value in the register argument causes a #GP exception.

  30. ^ Unlike the older INVLPG instruction, INVPCID will cause a #GP exception if the provided memory address is non-canonical. This discrepancy has been known to cause security issues.[94]
  31. ^ The PREFETCH and PREFETCHW instructions are mandatory parts of the 3DNow! instruction set extension, but are also available as a standalone extension on systems that do not support 3DNow!
  32. ^ The opcodes for PREFETCH and PREFETCHW (0F 0D /r) execute as NOPs on Intel CPUs from Cedar Mill (65nm Pentium 4) onwards, with PREFETCHW gaining prefetch functionality from Broadwell onwards.
  33. ^ The PREFETCH (0F 0D /0) instruction is a 3DNow! instruction, present on all processors with 3DNow! but not necessarily on processors with the PREFETCHW extension.
    On AMD CPUs with PREFETCHW, opcode 0F 0D /0 as well as opcodes 0F 0D /2../7 are all documented to be performing prefetch.
    On Intel processors with PREFETCHW, these opcodes are documented as performing reserved-NOPs[95] (except 0F 0D /2 being PREFETCHWT1 m8 on Xeon Phi only) – third party testing[96] indicates that some or all of these opcodes may be performing prefetch on at least some Intel Core CPUs.
  34. ^ a b c The SMAP, PKU and RDPID instruction set extensions are supported on stepping 2[97] and later of Zhaoxin LuJiaZui, but not on earlier steppings.
  35. ^ Unlike the older RDTSCP instruction which can also be used to read the processor ID, user-mode RDPID is not disabled by CR4.TSD=1.
  36. ^ The WBNOINVD instruction will execute as WBINVD if run on a system that doesn't support the WBNOINVD extension.
    WBINVD differs from WBNOINVD in that WBINVD will invalidate all cache lines after writeback.

  4. ^ ENCLU can only be executed in ring 3, not rings 0/1/2.
  5. ^ The leaf functions defined for ENCLV (selected by EAX) are:
    EAX Function
    Added with OVERSUB[98]
    0 (EDECVIRTCHILD) Decrement VIRTCHILDCNT in SECS
    1 (EINCVIRTCHILD) Increment VIRTCHILDCNT in SECS
    2 (ESETCONTEXT) Set ENCLAVECONTEXT field in SECS

    Any unsupported value in EAX causes a #GP exception.
    The ENCLV instruction is only present on systems that support the EPC Oversubscription Extensions to SGX ("OVERSUB").

  6. ^ ENCLV is only available if Intel VMX operation is enabled with VMXON, and will produce #UD otherwise.
  7. ^ For PTWRITE, the write to the Processor Trace Packet will only happen if a set of enable-bits (the "TriggerEn", "ContextEn", "FilterEn" bits of the RTIT_STATUS MSR and the "PTWEn" bit of the RTIT_CTL MSR) are all set to 1.
    The PTWRITE instruction is indicated in the SDM to cause an #UD exception if the 66h instruction prefix is used, regardless of other prefixes.
  8. ^ For MOVDIR64, the destination address given by ES:reg must be 64-byte aligned.
    The operand size for the register argument is given by the address size, which may be overridden by the 67h prefix.
    The 64-byte memory source argument does not need to be 64-byte aligned, and is not guaranteed to be read atomically.
  9. ^ The leaf functions defined for PCONFIG (selected by EAX) are:
    EAX Function
    0 MKTME_KEY_PROGRAM:
    Program key and encryption mode to use with an TME-MK Key ID.
    Added with TSE
    1 TSE_KEY_PROGRAM:
    Direct key programming for TSE.
    2 TSE_KEY_PROGRAM_WRAPPED:
    Wrapped key programming for TSE.

    Any unsupported value in EAX causes a #GP(0) exception.

  10. ^ For CLDEMOTE, the cache level that it will demote a cache line to is implementation-dependent.
    Since the instruction is considered a hint, it will execute as a NOP without any exceptions if the provided memory address is invalid or not in the L1 cache. It may also execute as a NOP under other implementation-dependent circumstances as well.
    On systems that do not support the CLDEMOTE extension, it executes as a NOP.
  11. ^ Intel documentation lists Tremont and Alder Lake as the processors in which CLDEMOTE was introduced. However, as of May 2022, no Tremont or Alder Lake models have been observed to have the CPUID feature bit for CLDEMOTE set, while several of them have the CPUID bit cleared.[103]
    As of April 2023, the CPUID feature bit for CLDEMOTE has been observed to be set for Sapphire Rapids.[104]
  12. ^ For UMONITOR, the operand size of the address argument is given by the address size, which may be overridden by the 67h prefix. The default segment used is DS:, which can be overridden with a segment prefix.
  13. ^ For UMWAIT, the operating system can use the IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL MSR to limit the maximum amount of time that a single UMWAIT invocation is permitted to wait. The UMWAIT instruction will set RFLAGS.CF to 1 if it reached the IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL-defined time limit and 0 otherwise.
  14. ^ TPAUSE and UMWAIT can be run outside Ring 0 only if CR4.TSD=0.
  15. ^ While serialization can be performed with older instructions such as e.g. CPUID and IRET, these instructions perform additional functions, causing side-effects and reduced performance when stand-alone instruction serialization is needed. (CPUID additionally has the issue that it causes a mandatory #VMEXIT when executed under virtualization, which causes a very large overhead.) The SERIALIZE instruction performs serialization only, avoiding these added costs.
  16. ^ A bitmap of CPU history components that can be reset through HRESET is provided by CPUID.(EAX=20h,ECX=0):EBX.
    As of July 2023, the following bits are defined:
    Bit Usage
    0 Intel Thread Director history
    31:1 (Reserved)
  17. ^ The register argument to SENDUIPI is an index to pick an entry from the UITT (User-Interrupt Target Table, a table specified by the new UINTR_TT and UINT_MISC MSRs.)

AltMovCr8
Alternative mechanism to access the CR8 control register.[a]
 MOV reg,CR8 F0 0F 20 /0[b] Read the CR8 register. 0 K8[c]
MOV CR8,reg F0 0F 22 /0[b] Write to the CR8 register.
MONITORX
Monitor a memory location for writes in user mode.
 MONITORX NP 0F 01 FA Start monitoring a memory location for memory writes. Similar to older MONITOR, except available in user mode. 3 Excavator
MWAITX NP 0F 01 FB Wait for a write to a monitored memory location previously specified with MONITORX.
MWAITX differs from the older MWAIT instruction mainly in that it runs in user mode and that it can accept an optional timeout argument (given in TSC time units) in EBX (enabled by setting bit[1] of ECX to 1.)
CLZERO
Zero out full cache line.
 CLZERO rAX NP 0F 01 FC Write zeroes to all bytes in a memory region that has the size and alignment of a CPU cache line and contains the byte addressed by DS:rAX.[d] 3 Zen 1
RDPRU
Read processor register in user mode.
 RDPRU NP 0F 01 FD Read selected MSRs (mainly performance counters) in user mode. ECX specifies which register to read.[e]

The value of the MSR is returned in EDX:EAX.

Usually 3[f] Zen 2
MCOMMIT
Commit Stores To Memory.
 MCOMMIT F3 0F 01 FA Ensure that all preceding stores in thread have been committed to memory, and that any errors encountered by these stores have been signalled to any associated error logging resources. The set of errors that can be reported and the logging mechanism are platform-specific.
Sets EFLAGS.CF to 0 if any errors occurred, 1 otherwise. 		3 Zen 2
INVLPGB
Invalidate TLB Entries with broadcast.
 INVLPGB NP 0F 01 FE Invalidate TLB Entries for a range of pages, with broadcast. The invalidation is performed on the processor executing the instruction, and also broadcast to all other processors in the system.
rAX takes the virtual address to invalidate and some additional flags, ECX takes the number of pages to invalidate, and EDX specifies ASID and PCID to perform TLB invalidation for. 		0 Zen 3
TLBSYNC NP 0F 01 FF Synchronize TLB invalidations.
Wait until all TLB invalidations signalled by preceding invocations of the INVLPGB instruction on the same logical processor have been responded to by all processors in the system. Instruction is serializing.
  1. ^ The standard way to access the CR8 register is to use an encoding that makes use of the REX.R prefix, e.g. 44 0F 20 07 (MOV RDI,CR8). However, the REX.R prefix is only available in 64-bit mode.
    The AltMovCr8 extension adds an additional method to access CR8, using the F0 (LOCK) prefix instead of REX.R – this provides access to CR8 outside 64-bit mode.
  2. ^ a b Like other variants of MOV to/from the CRx registers, the AltMovCr8 encodings ignore the top 2 bits of the instruction's ModR/M byte, and always execute as if these two bits are set to 11b.
    The AltMovCr8 encodings are available in 64-bit mode. However, combining the LOCK prefix with the REX.R prefix is not permitted and will cause an #UD exception.
  3. ^ Support for AltMovCR8 was added in stepping F of the AMD K8, and is not available on earlier steppings.
  4. ^ For CLZERO, the address size and 67h prefix control whether to use AX, EAX or RAX as address. The default segment DS: can be overridden by a segment-override prefix. The provided address does not need to be aligned – hardware will align it as necessary.
    The CLZERO instruction is intended for recovery from otherwise-fatal Machine Check errors. It is non-cacheable, cannot be used to allocate a cache line without a memory access, and should not be used for fast memory clears.[105]
  5. ^ The register numbering used by RDPRU does not necessarily match that of RDMSR/WRMSR.
    The registers supported by RDPRU as of December 2022 are:
    ECX Register
    0 MPERF (MSR 0E7h: Maximum Performance Frequency Clock Count)
    1 APERF (MSR 0E8h: Actual Performance Frequency Clock Count)

    Unsupported values in ECX return 0.

  6. ^ If CR4.TSD=1, then the RDPRU instruction can only run in ring 0.

x87 floating-point instructions

The x87 coprocessor, if present, provides support for floating-point arithmetic. The coprocessor provides eight data registers, each holding one 80-bit floating-point value (1 sign bit, 15 exponent bits, 64 mantissa bits) – these registers are organized as a stack, with the top-of-stack register referred to as "st" or "st(0)", and the other registers referred to as st(1),st(2),...st(7). It additionally provides a number of control and status registers, including "PC" (precision control, to control whether floating-point operations should be rounded to 24, 53 or 64 mantissa bits) and "RC" (rounding control, to pick rounding-mode: round-to-zero, round-to-positive-infinity, round-to-negative-infinity, round-to-nearest-even) and a 4-bit condition code register "CC", whose four bits are individually referred to as C0,C1,C2 and C3). Not all of the arithmetic instructions provided by x87 obey PC and RC.

  1. ^ x87 coprocessors (other than the 8087) handle exceptions in a fairly unusual way. When an x87 instruction generates an unmasked arithmetic exception, it will still complete without causing a CPU fault – instead of causing a fault, it will record within the coprocessor information needed to handle the exception (instruction pointer, opcode, data pointer if the instruction had a memory operand) and set FPU status-word flag to indicate that a pending exception is present. This pending exception will then cause a CPU fault when the next x87, MMX or WAIT instruction is executed.
    The exception to this is x87's "Non-Waiting" instructions, which will execute without causing such a fault even if a pending exception is present (with some caveats, see application note AP-578[106]). These instructions are mostly control instructions that can inspect and/or modify the pending-exception state of the x87 FPU.
  2. ^ For each non-waiting x87 instruction whose mnemonic begins with FN, there exists a pseudo-instruction that has the same mnemonic except without the N. These pseudo-instructions consist of a WAIT instruction (opcode 9B) followed by the corresponding non-waiting x87 instruction. For example:
    • FNCLEX is an instruction with the opcode DB E2. The corresponding pseudo-instruction FCLEX is then encoded as 9B DB E2.
    • FNSAVE ES:[BX+6] is an instruction with the opcode 26 DD 77 06. The corresponding pseudo-instruction FSAVE ES:[BX+6] is then encoded as 9B 26 DD 77 06
    These pseudo-instructions are commonly recognized by x86 assemblers and disassemblers and treated as single instructions, even though all x86 CPUs with x87 coprocessors execute them as a sequence of two instructions.
  3. ^ a b c d On 80387 and later x87 FPUs, FLDENV, F(N)STENV, FRSTOR and F(N)SAVE exist in 16-bit and 32-bit variants. The 16-bit variants will load/store a 14-byte floating-point environment data structure to/from memory – the 32-bit variants will load/store a 28-byte data structure instead. (F(N)SAVE/FRSTOR will additionally load/store an additional 80 bytes of FPU data register content after the FPU environment, for a total of 94 or 108 bytes). The choice between the 16-bit and 32-bit variants is based on the CS.D bit and the presence of the 66h instruction prefix. On 8087 and 80287, only the 16-bit variants are available.
    64-bit variants of these instructions do not exist – using REX.W under x86-64 will cause the 32-bit variants to be used. Since these can only load/store the bottom 32 bits of FIP and FDP, it is recommended to use FXSAVE64/FXRSTOR64 instead if 64-bit operation is desired.
  4. ^ a b In the case of an x87 instruction producing an unmasked FPU exception, the 8087 FPU will signal an IRQ some indeterminate time after the instruction was issued. This may not always be possible to handle,[107] and so the FPU offers the F(N)DISI and F(N)ENI instructions to set/clear the Interrupt Mask bit (bit 7) of the x87 Control Word,[108] to control the interrupt.
    Later x87 FPUs, from 80287 onwards, changed the FPU exception mechanism to instead produce a CPU exception on the next x87 instruction. This made the Interrupt Mask bit unnecessary, so it was removed.[109] In later Intel x87 FPUs, the F(N)ENI and F(N)DISI instructions were kept for backwards compatibility, executing as NOPs that do not modify any x87 state.
  5. ^ a b c FST/FSTP with an 80-bit destination (m80 or st(i)) and an sNaN source value will produce exceptions on AMD but not Intel FPUs.
  6. ^ FSTP ST(0) is a commonly used idiom for popping a single register off the x87 register stack.
  7. ^ a b c d e f g h i Intel x87 alias opcode. Use of this opcode is not recommended.
    On the Intel 8087 coprocessor, several reserved opcodes would perform operations behaving similarly to existing defined x87 instructions. These opcodes were documented for the 8087[110] and 80287,[111] but then omitted from later manuals until the October 2017 update of the Intel SDM.[112]
    They are present on all known Intel x87 FPUs but unavailable on some older non-Intel FPUs, such as AMD Geode GX/LX, DM&P Vortex86[113] and NexGen 586PF.[114]
  8. ^ a b On the 8087 and 80287, FBSTP and the load-constant instructions always use the round-to-nearest rounding mode. On the 80387 and later x87 FPUs, these instructions will use the rounding mode specified in the x87 RC register.
  9. ^ a b c d e f g h i For the FADDP, FSUBP, FSUBRP, FMULP, FDIVP, FDIVRP, FCOM, FCOMP and FXCH instructions, x86 assemblers/disassemblers may recognize variants of the instructions with no arguments. Such variants are equivalent to variants using st(1) as their first argument.
  10. ^ On Intel Pentium and later processors, FXCH is implemented as a register renaming rather than a true data move. This has no semantic effect, but enables zero-cycle-latency operation. It also allows the instruction to break data dependencies for the x87 top-of-stack value, improving attainable performance for code optimized for these processors.
  11. ^ The result of executing the FBLD instruction on non-BCD data is undefined.
  12. ^ On early Intel Pentium processors, floating-point divide was subject to the Pentium FDIV bug. This also affected instructions that perform divide as part of their operations, such as FPREM and FPATAN.[115]
  13. ^ The FXAM instruction will set C0, C2 and C3 based on value type in st(0) as follows:
    C3 C2 C0 Classification
    0 0 0 Unsupported (unnormal or pseudo-NaN)
    0 0 1 NaN
    0 1 0 Normal finite number
    0 1 1 Infinity
    1 0 0 Zero
    1 0 1 Empty
    1 1 0 Denormal number
    1 1 1 Empty (may occur on 8087/80287 only)

    C1 is set to the sign-bit of st(0), regardless of whether st(0) is Empty or not.

  14. ^ For FXTRACT, if st(0) is zero or ±∞, then M is set equal to st(0). If st(0) is zero, E is set to 0 on 8087/80287 but -∞ on 80387 and later. If st(0) is ±∞, then E is set to +∞.
  15. ^ For FPREM, if the quotient Q is larger than , then the remainder calculation may have been done only partially – in this case, the FPREM instruction will need to be run again in order to complete the remainder calculation. This is indicated by the instruction setting C2 to 1.
    If the instruction did complete the remainder calculation, it will set C2 to 0 and set the three bits {C0,C3,C1} to the bottom three bits of the quotient Q.
    On 80387 and later, if the instruction didn't complete the remainder calculation, then the computed remainder Q used for argument reduction will have been rounded to a multiple of 8 (or larger power-of-2), so that the bottom 3 bits of the quotient can still be correctly retrieved in a later pass that does complete the remainder calculation.
  16. ^ The remainder computation done by the FPREM instruction is always exact with no roundoff errors.
  17. ^ For the FSCALE instruction on 8087 and 80287, st(1) is required to be in the range . Also, its absolute value must be either 0 or at least 1. If these requirements are not satisfied, the result is undefined.
    These restrictions were removed in the 80387.
  18. ^ For FSCALE, rounding is only applied in the case of overflow, underflow or subnormal result.
  19. ^ The x87 transcendental instructions do not obey PC or RC, but instead compute full 80-bit results. These results are not necessarily correctly rounded (see Table-maker's dilemma) – they may have an error of up to ±1 ulp on Pentium or later, or up to ±1.5 ulps on earlier x87 coprocessors.
  20. ^ a b For the FYL2X and FYL2XP1 instructions, the maximum error bound of ±1 ulp only holds for st(1)=1.0 – for other values of st(1), the error bound is increased to ±1.35 ulps.
  21. ^ For FPATAN, the following adjustments are done as compared to just computing a one-argument arctangent of the ratio :
    • If both st(0) and st(1) are ±∞, then the arctangent is computed as if each of st(0) and st(1) had been replaced with ±1 of the same sign. This produces a result that is an odd multiple of .
    • If both st(0) and st(1) are ±0, then the arctangent is computed as if st(0) but not st(1) had been replaced with ±1 of the same sign, producing a result of ±0 or .
    • If st(0) is negative (has sign bit set), then an addend of with the same sign as st(1) is added to the result.
  22. ^ While FNOP is a no-op in the sense that will leave the x87 FPU register stack unmodified, it may still modify FIP and CC, and it may fault if a pending x87 FPU exception is present.

  1. ^ The x87 FPU needs to know whether it is operating in Real Mode or Protected Mode because the floating-point environment accessed by the F(N)SAVE, FRSTOR, FLDENV and F(N)STENV instructions has different formats in Real Mode and Protected Mode. On 80287, the F(N)SETPM instruction is required to communicate the real-to-protected mode transition to the FPU. On 80387 and later x87 FPUs, real↔protected mode transitions are communicated automatically to the FPU without the need for any dedicated instructions – therefore, on these FPUs, FNSETPM executes as a NOP that does not modify any FPU state.
  2. ^ Not including discontinued instructions specific to particular 80387-compatible FPU models.
  3. ^ a b For the FUCOM and FUCOMP instructions, x86 assemblers/disassemblers may recognize variants of the instructions with no arguments. Such variants are equivalent to variants using st(1) as their first argument.
  4. ^ The 80387 FPREM1 instruction differs from the older FPREM (D9 F8) instruction in that the quotient Q is rounded to integer with round-to-nearest-even rounding rather than the round-to-zero rounding used by FPREM. Like FPREM, FPREM1 always computes an exact result with no roundoff errors. Like FPREM, it may also perform a partial computation if the quotient is too large, in which case it must be run again.
  5. ^ a b c Due to the x87 FPU performing argument reduction for sin/cos with only about 68 bits of precision, the value of k used in the calculation of FSIN, FCOS and FSINCOS is not precisely 1.0, but instead given by[116][117]
    This argument reduction inaccuracy also affects the FPTAN instruction.
  6. ^ The FCOMI, FCOMIP, FUCOMI and FUCOMIP instructions write their results to the ZF, CF and PF bits of the EFLAGS register. On Intel but not AMD processors, the SF, AF and OF bits of EFLAGS are also zeroed out by these instructions.
  7. ^ The FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions were added in the "Deschutes" revision of Pentium II, and are not present in earlier "Klamath" revision.
    They are also present in AMD K7.
    They are also considered an integral part of SSE and are therefore present in all processors with SSE.
  8. ^ a b The FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions will save/restore SSE state only on processors that support SSE. Otherwise, they will only save/restore x87 and MMX state.
    The x87 section of the state saved/restored by FXSAVE/FXRSTOR has a completely different layout than the data structure of the older F(N)SAVE/FRSTOR instructions, enabling faster save/restore by avoiding misaligned loads and stores.
  9. ^ a b When floating-point emulation is enabled with CR0.EM=1, FXSAVE(64) and FXRSTOR(64) are considered to be x87 instructions and will accordingly produce an #NM (device-not-available) exception. Other than WAIT, these are the only opcodes outside the D8..DF ESC opcode space that exhibit this behavior. (All opcodes in D8..DF will produce #NM if CR0.EM=1, even for undefined opcodes that would produce #UD otherwise.)
  10. ^ Unlike the older F(N)SAVE instruction, FXSAVE will not initialize the FPU after saving its state to memory, but instead leave the x87 coprocessor state unmodified.

AVX

AVX were first supported by Intel with Sandy Bridge and by AMD with Bulldozer.

Vector operations on 256 bit registers.

Instruction Description
VBROADCASTSS Copy a 32-bit, 64-bit or 128-bit memory operand to all elements of a XMM or YMM vector register.
VBROADCASTSD
VBROADCASTF128
VINSERTF128 Replaces either the lower half or the upper half of a 256-bit YMM register with the value of a 128-bit source operand. The other half of the destination is unchanged.
VEXTRACTF128 Extracts either the lower half or the upper half of a 256-bit YMM register and copies the value to a 128-bit destination operand.
VMASKMOVPS Conditionally reads any number of elements from a SIMD vector memory operand into a destination register, leaving the remaining vector elements unread and setting the corresponding elements in the destination register to zero. Alternatively, conditionally writes any number of elements from a SIMD vector register operand to a vector memory operand, leaving the remaining elements of the memory operand unchanged. On the AMD Jaguar processor architecture, this instruction with a memory source operand takes more than 300 clock cycles when the mask is zero, in which case the instruction should do nothing. This appears to be a design flaw.[119]
VMASKMOVPD
VPERMILPS Permute In-Lane. Shuffle the 32-bit or 64-bit vector elements of one input operand. These are in-lane 256-bit instructions, meaning that they operate on all 256 bits with two separate 128-bit shuffles, so they can not shuffle across the 128-bit lanes.[120]
VPERMILPD
VPERM2F128 Shuffle the four 128-bit vector elements of two 256-bit source operands into a 256-bit destination operand, with an immediate constant as selector.
VZEROALL Set all YMM registers to zero and tag them as unused. Used when switching between 128-bit use and 256-bit use.
VZEROUPPER Set the upper half of all YMM registers to zero. Used when switching between 128-bit use and 256-bit use.

FMA3 and FMA4 instructions

Main article: FMA instruction set

Floating-point fused multiply-add instructions are introduced in x86 as two instruction set extensions, "FMA3" and "FMA4", both of which build on top of AVX to provide a set of scalar/vector instructions using the xmm/ymm/zmm vector registers. FMA3 defines a set of 3-operand fused-multiply-add instructions that take three input operands and writes its result back to the first of them. FMA4 defines a set of 4-operand fused-multiply-add instructions that take four input operands – a destination operand and three source operands.

FMA3 is supported on Intel CPUs starting with Haswell, on AMD CPUs starting with Piledriver, and on Zhaoxin CPUs starting with YongFeng. FMA4 was only supported on AMD Family 15h (Bulldozer) CPUs and has been abandoned from AMD Zen onwards. The FMA3/FMA4 extensions are not considered to be an intrinsic part of AVX or AVX2, although all Intel and AMD (but not Zhaoxin) processors that support AVX2 also support FMA3. FMA3 instructions (in EVEX-encoded form) are, however, AVX-512 foundation instructions.
The FMA3 and FMA4 instruction sets both define a set of 10 fused-multiply-add operations, all available in FP32 and FP64 variants. For each of these variants, FMA3 defines three operand orderings while FMA4 defines two.
FMA3 encoding
FMA3 instructions are encoded with the VEX or EVEX prefixes – on the form VEX.66.0F38 xy /r or EVEX.66.0F38 xy /r. The VEX.W/EVEX.W bit selects floating-point format (W=0 means FP32, W=1 means FP64). The opcode byte xy consists of two nibbles, where the top nibble x selects operand ordering (9='132', A='213', B='231') and the bottom nibble y (values 6..F) selects which one of the 10 fused-multiply-add operations to perform. (x and y outside the given ranges will result in something that is not an FMA3 instruction.)
At the assembly language level, the operand ordering is specified in the mnemonic of the instruction:

For all FMA3 variants, the first two arguments must be xmm/ymm/zmm vector register arguments, while the last argument may be either a vector register or memory argument. Under AVX-512, the EVEX-encoded variants support EVEX-prefix-encoded broadcast, opmasks and rounding-controls.
The AVX512-FP16 extension, introduced in Sapphire Rapids, adds FP16 variants of the FMA3 instructions – these all take the form EVEX.66.MAP6.W0 xy /r with the opcode byte working in the same way as for the FP32/FP64 variants. (For the FMA4 instructions, no FP16 variants are defined.)
FMA4 encoding
FMA4 instructions are encoded with the VEX prefix, on the form VEX.66.0F3A xx /r ib (no EVEX encodings are defined). The opcode byte xx uses its bottom bit to select floating-point format (0=FP32, 1=FP64) and the remaining bits to select one of the 10 fused-multiply-add operations to perform.

For FMA4, operand ordering is controlled by the VEX.W bit. If VEX.W=0, then the third operand is the r/m operand specified by the instruction's ModR/M byte and the fourth operand is a register operand, specified by bits 7:4 of the ib (8-bit immediate) part of the instruction. If VEX.W=1, then these two operands are swapped. For example:

The 10 fused-multiply-add operations and the 110 instruction variants they give rise to are given by the following table – with FMA4 instructions highlighted with * and yellow cell coloring, and FMA3 instructions not highlighted:

AVX-512

Main article: AVX-512 § New instructions by sets

AVX-512, introduced in 2014, adds 512-bit wide vector registers (extending the 256-bit registers, which become the new registers' lower halves) and doubles their count to 32; the new registers are thus named zmm0 through zmm31. It adds eight mask registers, named k0 through k7, which may be used to restrict operations to specific parts of a vector register. Unlike previous instruction set extensions, AVX-512 is implemented in several groups; only the foundation ("AVX-512F") extension is mandatory.[121] Most of the added instructions may also be used with the 256- and 128-bit registers.

AMX

Main article: Advanced Matrix Extensions

Intel AMX adds eight new tile-registers, tmm0-tmm7, each holding a matrix, with a maximum capacity of 16 rows of 64 bytes per tile-register. It also adds a TILECFG register to configure the sizes of the actual matrices held in each of the eight tile-registers, and a set of instructions to perform matrix multiplications on these registers.

  1. ^ For TILEZERO, the tile-register to clear is specified by bits 5:3 of the instruction's ModR/M byte. Bits 7:6 must be set to 11b, and bits 2:0 must be set to 000b.
  2. ^ a b c For the TILELOADD, TILELOADDT1 and TILESTORED instructions, the memory argument must use a memory addressing mode with the SIB-byte. Under this addressing mode, the base register and displacement are used to specify the starting address for the first row of the tile to load/store from/to memory – the scale and index are used to specify a per-row stride.
    These instructions are all interruptible – an interrupt or memory exception taken in the middle of these instructions will cause progress tracking information to be written to TILECFG.start_row, so that the instruction may continue on a partially-loaded/stored tile after the interruption.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h For all of the AMX matrix multiply instructions, the three arguments are required to be three different tile registers, or else the instruction will #UD.

Intel AES Key Locker instructions

These instructions, available in Tiger Lake and later Intel processors, are designed to enable encryption/decryption with an AES key without having access to any unencrypted copies of the key during the actual encryption/decryption process.

Instruction Encoding Description Notes
LOADIWKEY xmm1,xmm2 F3 0F 38 DC /r Load internal wrapping key ("IWKey") from xmm1, xmm2 and XMM0. The two explicit operands (which must be register operands) specify a 256-bit encryption key. The implicit operand in XMM0 specifies a 128-bit integrity key. EAX contains flags controlling operation of instruction.

After being loaded, the IWKey cannot be directly read from software, but is used for the key wrapping done by ENCODEKEY128/256 and checked by the Key Locker encode/decode instructions.

LOADIWKEY is privileged and can run in Ring 0 only.

ENCODEKEY128 r32,r32 F3 0F 38 FA /r Wrap a 128-bit AES key from XMM0 into a 384-bit key handle and output handle in XMM0-2. Source operand specifies handle restrictions to build into the handle.

Destination operand is initialized with information about the source and attributes of the key.

These instruction may also modify XMM4-6 (zeroed out in existing implementations, but this should not be relied on).

ENCODEKEY256 r32,r32 F3 0F 3A FB /r Wrap a 256-bit AES key from XMM1:XMM0 into a 512-bit key handle and output handle in XMM0-3.
AESENC128KL xmm,m384 F3 0F 38 DC /r Encrypt xmm using 128-bit AES key indicated by handle at m384 and store result in xmm. All of the Key Locker encode/decode instructions will check whether the handle is valid for the current IWKey and encode/decode data only if the handle is valid.

These instructions will set the ZF flag to indicate whether the provided handle was valid (ZF=0) or not (ZF=1).

AESDEC128KL xmm,m384 F3 0F 38 DD /r Decrypt xmm using 128-bit AES key indicated by handle at m384 and store result in xmm.

VIA PadLock instructions

Main article: VIA PadLock

The VIA/Zhaoxin PadLock instructions are instructions designed to apply cryptographic primitives in bulk, similar to the 8086 repeated string instructions. As such, unless otherwise specified, they take, as applicable, pointers to source data in ES:rSI and destination data in ES:rDI, and a data-size or count in rCX. Like the old string instructions, they are all designed to be interruptible.

 REP XSHA1 F3 0F A6 C8 Compute a cryptographic hash (using the SHA-1 and SHA-256 functions, respectively). ES:rSI points to data to compute a hash for, ES:rDI points to a message digest and rCX specifies the number of bytes. rAX should be set to 0 at the start of a calculation.[c] Esther
REP XSHA256 F3 0F A6 D0
PMM
Montgomery Multiplier.
 REP MONTMUL F3 0F A6 C0 Perform Montgomery Multiplication. Takes an operand width in ECX (given as a number of bits – must be in range 256..32768 and divisble by 128) and pointer to a data structure in ES:ESI.[d] Esther
GMI[125][126]
Chinese national cryptographic algorithms. (Zhaoxin only.)
 CCS_HASH F3 0F A6 E8 Compute SM3 hash, similar to the REP XSHA* instructions. The rBX register is used to specify hash function (20h for SM3 being the only documented value). ZhangJiang
CCS_ENCRYPT F3 0F A7 F0 Encrypt/Decrypt data, using the SM4 cipher in various block modes. rCX contains the number of 16-byte blocks to encrypt/decrypt, rBX contains a pointer to an encryption key, rDX a pointer to an initialization vector for block modes that need it, and rAX contains a control word.[e]
  1. ^ The control word for REP XCRYPT* is a 128-bit data structure with the following layout:
    Bits Usage
    3:0 AES round count
    4 Digest mode enable (ACE2 only)
    5 1=allow data that is not 16-byte aligned (ACE2 only)
    6 Cipher: 0=AES, 1=undefined
    7 Key schedule: 0=compute (128bit key only), 1=load from memory
    8 0=normal, 1=intermediate-result
    9 0=encrypt, 1=decrypt
    11:10 Key size: 00=128bit, 01=192bit, 10=256bit, 11=reserved
    127:12 Reserved, set to 0
  2. ^ ACE2 also adds extra features to the other REP XCRYPT instructions: a digest mode for the CBC and CFB instructions, and the ability to use input/output data that are not 16-byte aligned for the non-ECB instructions.
  3. ^ On VIA Nano and later processors, setting rAX to an all-1s value for the REP XSHA* instructions will enable an alternate operation mode, where rCX specifies the number of 64-byte blocks, and where the standard FIPS-180-2 length extension procedure at the end of the hash calculation is omitted. This makes for a variant more suitable for data streaming than the original EAX=0 variant.[124] This functionality also exists for CCS_HASH.
     
  4. ^ The data structure to REP MONTMUL contains six 32-bit elements, where the first one is a negated modular inverse of the bottom 32 bits of the modulus and the remaining 5 are pointers to various memory buffers:
    Offset Data item
    0 Negated modular inverse
    4 Pointer to first multiplicand
    8 Pointer to second multiplicand
    12 Pointer to result buffer
    16 Pointer to modulus
    20 Pointer to 32-byte scratchpad
  5. ^ The CCS_ENCRYPT control word in rAX has the following format:
    Bits Usage
    0 0=Encrypt, 1=Decrypt
    5:1 Must be 10000b for SM4.
    6 ECB block mode
    7 CBC block mode
    8 CFB block mode
    9 OFB block mode
    10 CTR block mode
    11 Digest enable

    Remaining bits in rAX must be set to all-0s.

    Of bits 10:6 in rAX (block mode selection), exactly one bit must be set, or else behavior is undefined.

  1. ^ a b c d e For the rAX argument to the VMRUN, VMLOAD, VMSAVE, INVLPGA and PVALIDATE instructions, the choice of AX/EAX/RAX depends on address-size, which can be overridden with the 67h prefix.
  2. ^ Support for AMD-V was added in stepping F of the AMD K8, and is not available on earlier steppings.
  3. ^ a b The VMRUN instruction will load only a limited subset of CPU state - VMLOAD should be run before VMRUN to load additional state.
    Similarly, #VMEXIT will store only a limited amount of guest state to the VMCB, and VMSAVE is needed to store additional state.
    For simple intercept conditions where the VMM doesn't need to make use of the state items handled by VMSAVE/VMLOAD, the VMM may improve performance by abstaining from performing VMSAVE/VMLOAD before re-entering the virtual machine with VMRUN.
  4. ^ On CPUs that support VMLOAD/VMSAVE virtualization (Excavator and later), the VMLOAD and VMSAVE instructions can be executed in guest mode as well.
  5. ^ On CPUs that support Virtual GIF (Excavator and later), the STGI and CLGI instructions can be executed in guest mode as well.
  6. ^ VMGEXIT is executed as VMMCALL if not executed by a SEV-ES guest.

x86 also includes discontinued instruction sets which are no longer supported by Intel and AMD, and undocumented instructions which execute but are not officially documented.

Undocumented instructions

Undocumented x86 instructions

The x86 CPUs contain undocumented instructions which are implemented on the chips but not listed in some official documents. They can be found in various sources across the Internet, such as Ralf Brown's Interrupt List and at sandpile.org

Some of these instructions are widely available across many/most x86 CPUs, while others are specific to a narrow range of CPUs.

Undocumented instructions that are widely available across many x86 CPUs include

Mnemonics Opcodes Description Status
AAM imm8 D4 ib ASCII-Adjust-after-Multiply. On the 8086, documented for imm8=0Ah only, which is used to convert a binary multiplication result to BCD.

The actual operation is AH ← AL/imm8; AL ← AL mod imm8 for any imm8 value (except zero, which produces a divide-by-zero exception).[131]

Available beginning with 8086, documented for imm8 values other than 0Ah since Pentium (earlier documentation lists no arguments).
AAD imm8 D5 ib ASCII-Adjust-Before-Division. On the 8086, documented for imm8=0Ah only, which is used to convert a BCD value to binary for a following division instruction.

The actual operation is AL ← (AL+(AH*imm8)) & 0FFh; AH ← 0 for any imm8 value.

SALC,
SETALC 		D6 Set AL depending on the value of the Carry Flag (a 1-byte alternative of SBB AL, AL) Available beginning with 8086, but only documented since Pentium Pro.
ICEBP,
INT1 		F1 Single byte single-step exception / Invoke ICE Available beginning with 80386, documented (as INT1) since Pentium Pro. Executes as undocumented instruction prefix on 8086 and 80286.[132]
TEST r/m8,imm8 F6 /1 ib Undocumented variants of the TEST instruction.[133] Performs the same operation as the documented F6 /0 and F7 /0 variants, respectively. Available since the 8086.

Unavailable on some 80486 steppings.[134][135]

TEST r/m16,imm16,
TEST r/m32,imm32 		F7 /1 iw,
F7 /1 id
SHL, SAL (D0..D3) /6,
(C0..C1) /6 ib 		Undocumented variants of the SHL instruction.[133] Performs the same operation as the documented (D0..D3) /4 and (C0..C1) /4 ib variants, respectively. Available since the 80186 (performs different operation on the 8086)[136]
(multiple) 82 /(0..7) ib Alias of opcode 80h, which provides variants of 8-bit integer instructions (ADD, OR, ADC, SBB, AND, SUB, XOR, CMP) with an 8-bit immediate argument.[137] Available since the 8086.[137] Explicitly unavailable in 64-bit mode but kept and reserved for compatibility.[138]
OR/AND/XOR r/m16,imm8 83 /(1,4,6) ib 16-bit OR/AND/XOR with a sign-extended 8-bit immediate. Available on 8086, but only documented from 80386 onwards.[139][140]
REPNZ MOVS F2 (A4..A5) The behavior of the F2 prefix (REPNZ, REPNE) when used with string instructions other than CMPS/SCAS is officially undefined, but there exists commercial software (e.g. the version of FDISK distributed with MS-DOS versions 3.30 to 6.22[141]) that rely on it to behave in the same way as the documented F3 (REP) prefix. Available since the 8086.
REPNZ STOS F2 (AA..AB)
REP RET F3 C3 The use of the REP prefix with the RET instruction is not listed as supported in either the Intel SDM or the AMD APM. However, AMD's optimization guide for the AMD-K8 describes the F3 C3 encoding as a way to encode a two-byte RET instruction – this is the recommended workaround for an issue in the AMD-K8's branch predictor that can cause branch prediction to fail for some 1-byte RET instructions.[142] At least some versions of gcc are known to use this encoding.[143] Executes as RET on all known x86 CPUs.
NOP 67 90 NOP with address-size override prefix. The use of the 67h prefix for instructions without memory operands is listed by the Intel SDM (vol 2, section 2.1.1) as "reserved", but it is used in Microsoft Windows 95 as a workaround for a bug in the B1 stepping of Intel 80386.[144][145] Executes as NOP on 80386 and later.
NOP r/m 0F 1F /0 Official long NOP.

Introduced in the Pentium Pro in 1995, but remained undocumented until March 2006.[52][146][147]

Available on Pentium Pro and AMD K7[148] and later.

Unavailable on AMD K6, AMD Geode LX, VIA Nehemiah.[149]

NOP r/m 0F 0D /r Reserved-NOP. Introduced in 65 nm Pentium 4. Intel documentation lists this opcode as NOP in opcode tables but not instruction listings since June 2005.[150][151] From Broadwell onwards, 0F 0D /1 has been documented as PREFETCHW, while 0F 0D /0 and /2../7 have been reported to exhibit undocumented prefetch functionality.[96]

On AMD CPUs, 0F 0D /r with a memory argument is documented as PREFETCH/PREFETCHW since K6-2 – originally as part of 3Dnow!, but has been kept in later AMD CPUs even after the rest of 3Dnow! was dropped.

Available on Intel CPUs since 65 nm Pentium 4.

UD1 0F B9 /r Intentionally undefined instructions, but unlike UD2 (0F 0B) these instructions were left unpublished until December 2016.[152][60]

Microsoft Windows 95 Setup is known to depend on 0F FF being invalid[153][154] – it is used as a self check to test that its #UD exception handler is working properly.

Other invalid opcodes that are being relied on by commercial software to produce #UD exceptions include FF FF (DIF-2,[155] LaserLok[156]) and C4 C4 ("BOP"[157][158]), however as of January 2022 they are not published as intentionally invalid opcodes.

All of these opcodes produce #UD exceptions on 80186 and later (except on NEC V20/V30, which assign at least 0F FF to the NEC-specific BRKEM instruction.)
UD0 0F FF

Undocumented instructions that appear only in a limited subset of x86 CPUs include

Mnemonics Opcodes Description Status
REP MUL F3 F6 /4, F3 F7 /4 On 8086/8088, a REP or REPNZ prefix on a MUL or IMUL instruction causes the result to be negated. This is due to the microcode using the “REP prefix present” bit to store the sign of the result. 8086/8088 only.[159]
REP IMUL F3 F6 /5, F3 F7 /5
REP IDIV F3 F6 /7, F3 F7 /7 On 8086/8088, a REP or REPNZ prefix on an IDIV (but not DIV) instruction causes the quotient to be negated. This is due to the microcode using the “REP prefix present” bit to store the sign of the quotient. 8086/8088 only.[159]
SAVEALL,

STOREALL

(F1) 0F 04 Exact purpose unknown, causes CPU hang (HCF). The only way out is CPU reset.[160]

In some implementations, emulated through BIOS as a halting sequence.[161]

In a forum post at the Vintage Computing Federation, this instruction (with F1 prefix) is explained as SAVEALL. It interacts with ICE mode.

Only available on 80286.
LOADALL 0F 05 Loads All Registers from Memory Address 0x000800H Only available on 80286.

Opcode reused for SYSCALL in AMD K6 and later CPUs.

LOADALLD 0F 07 Loads All Registers from Memory Address ES:EDI Only available on 80386.

Opcode reused for SYSRET in AMD K6 and later CPUs.

CL1INVMB 0F 0A[162] On the Intel SCC (Single-chip Cloud Computer), invalidate all message buffers. The mnemonic and operation of the instruction, but not its opcode, are described in Intel's SCC architecture specification.[163] Available on the SCC only.
PATCH2 0F 0E On AMD K6 and later maps to FEMMS operation (fast clear of MMX state) but on Intel identified as uarch data read on Intel[164] Only available in Red unlock state (0F 0F too)
PATCH3 0F 0F Write uarch Can change RAM part of microcode on Intel
UMOV r,r/m,
UMOV r/m,r 		0F (10..13) /r Moves data to/from user memory when operating in ICE HALT mode.[165] Acts as regular MOV otherwise. Available on some 386 and 486 processors only.

Opcodes reused for SSE instructions in later CPUs.

NXOP 0F 55 NexGen hypercode interface.[166] Available on NexGen Nx586 only.
(multiple) 0F (E0..FB)[167] NexGen Nx586 "hyper mode" instructions.

The NexGen Nx586 CPU uses "hyper code"[168] (x86 code sequences unpacked at boot time and only accessible in a special "hyper mode" operation mode, similar to DEC Alpha's PALcode and Intel's XuCode[169]) for many complicated operations that are implemented with microcode in most other x86 CPUs. The Nx586 provides a large number of undocumented instructions to assist hyper mode operation.

Available in Nx586 hyper mode only.
PSWAPW mm,mm/m64 0F 0F /r BB Undocumented AMD 3DNow! instruction on K6-2 and K6-3. Swaps 16-bit words within 64-bit MMX register.[170][171]

Instruction known to be recognized by MASM 6.13 and 6.14.

Available on K6-2 and K6-3 only.

Opcode reused for documented PSWAPD instruction from AMD K7 onwards.

Un­known mnemonic 64 D6 Using the 64 (FS: segment) prefix with the undocumented D6 (SALC/SETALC) instruction will, on UMC CPUs only, cause EAX to be set to 0xAB6B1B07.[172][173] Available on the UMC Green CPU only. Executes as SALC on non-UMC CPUs.
FS: Jcc 64 (70..7F) rel8,

64 0F (80..8F) rel16/32

On Intel NetBurst (Pentium 4) CPUs, the 64h (FS: segment) instruction prefix will, when used with conditional branch instructions, act as a branch hint to indicate that the branch will be alternating between taken and not-taken.[174] Unlike other NetBurst branch hints (CS: and DS: segment prefixes), this hint is not documented. Available on NetBurst CPUs only.

Segment prefixes on conditional branches are accepted but ignored by non-NetBurst CPUs.

JMPAI 0F 3F Jump and execute instructions in the undocumented Alternate Instruction Set. Only available on some x86 processors made by VIA Technologies.
(FMA4) VEX.66.0F38 (5C..5F,68..6F,78..7F) /r imm8 On AMD Zen1, FMA4 instructions are present but undocumented (missing CPUID flag). The reason for leaving the feature undocumented may or may not have been due to a buggy implementation.[175] Removed from Zen2 onwards.
(unknown, multiple) 0F 0F /r ?? The whitepapers for SandSifter[176] and UISFuzz[177] report the detection of large numbers of undocumented instructions in the 3DNow! opcode range on several different AMD CPUs (at least Geode NX and C-50). Their operation is not known.

On at least AMD K6-2, all of the unassigned 3DNow! opcodes (other than the undocumented PF2IW, PI2FW and PSWAPW instructions) are reported to execute as equivalents of POR (MMX bitwise-OR instruction).[171]

Present on some AMD CPUs with 3DNow!.
MOVDB,

GP2MEM

Un­known Microprocessor Report's article "MediaGX Targets Low-Cost PCs" from 1997, covering the introduction of the Cyrix MediaGX processor, lists several new instructions that are said to have been added to this processor in order to support its new "Virtual System Architecture" features, including MOVDB and GP2MEM – and also mentions that Cyrix did not intend to publish specifications for these instructions.[178] Un­known.

No specification known to have been published.

REP XSHA512 F3 0F A6 E0 Perform SHA-512 hashing.

Supported by OpenSSL[179] as part of its VIA PadLock support, and listed in a Zhaoxin-supplied Linux kernel patch,[180] but not documented by the VIA PadLock Programming Guide.

Only available on some x86 processors made by VIA Technologies and Zhaoxin.
REP XMODEXP F3 0F A6 F8 Instructions to perform modular exponentiation and random number generation, respectively.

Listed in a VIA-supplied patch to add support for VIA Nano-specific PadLock instructions to OpenSSL,[181] but not documented by the VIA PadLock Programming Guide.

XRNG2 F3 0F A7 F8
Un­known mnemonic 0F A7 (C1..C7) Detected by CPU fuzzing tools such as SandSifter[176] and UISFuzz[177] as executing without causing #UD on several different VIA and Zhaoxin CPUs.

Unknown operation, may be related to the documented XSTORE (0F A7 C0) instruction.

Un­known mnemonic F2 0F A6 C0 Zhaoxin SM2 instruction. CPUID flags listed in a Linux kernel patch for OpenEuler,[182] description and opcode (but no instruction mnemonic) provided in a Zhaoxin patent application[183] and a Zhaoxin-provided Linux kernel patch.[184] Present in Zhaoxin KX-6000G.[185]
ZXPAUSE F2 0F A6 D0 Pause the processor until the Time Stamp Counter reaches or exceeds the value specified in EDX:EAX. Low-power processor C-state can be requested in ECX. Listed in OpenEuler kernel patch.[186] Present in Zhaoxin KX-7000.
MONTMUL2 Un­known Zhaoxin RSA/"xmodx" instructions. Mnemonics and CPUID flags are listed in a Linux kernel patch for OpenEuler,[182] but opcodes and instruction descriptions are not available. Unknown. Some Zhaoxin CPUs[185] have the CPUID flags for these instructions set.

Undocumented x87 instructions

Mnemonics Opcodes Description Status
FENI,

FENI8087_NOP

DB E0 FPU Enable Interrupts (8087) Documented for the Intel 80287.[111]

Present on all Intel x87 FPUs from 80287 onwards. For FPUs other than the ones where they were introduced on (8087 for FENI/FDISI and 80287 for FSETPM), they act as NOPs.

These instructions and their operation on modern CPUs are commonly mentioned in later Intel documentation, but with opcodes omitted and opcode table entries left blank (e.g. Intel SDM 325462-077, April 2022 mentions them twice without opcodes).

The opcodes are, however, recognized by Intel XED.[187]

FDISI,

FDISI8087_NOP

DB E1 FPU Disable Interrupts (8087)
FSETPM,

FSETPM287_NOP

DB E4 FPU Set Protected Mode (80287)
(no mnemonic) D9 D7,  D9 E2,
D9 E7,  DD FC,
DE D8,  DE DA,
DE DC,  DE DD,
DE DE,  DF FC 		"Reserved by Cyrix" opcodes These opcodes are listed as reserved opcodes that will produce "unpredictable results" without generating exceptions on at least Cyrix 6x86,[188] 6x86MX, MII, MediaGX, and AMD Geode GX/LX.[189] (The documentation for these CPUs all list the same ten opcodes.)

Their actual operation is not known, nor is it known whether their operation is the same on all of these CPUs.
