Description

Performs a full or partial restore of processor state components from the XSAVE area located at the memory address specified by the source operand. The implicit EDX:EAX register pair specifies a 64-bit instruction mask. The specific state components restored correspond to the bits set in the requested-feature bitmap (RFBM), which is the logical-AND of EDX:EAX and the logical-OR of XCR0 with the IA32_XSS MSR. XRSTORS may be executed only if CPL = 0.

The format of the XSAVE area is detailed in Section 13.4, “XSAVE Area,” of Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1.

Section 13.11, “Operation of XRSTORS,” of Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 1 provides a detailed description of the operation of the XRSTOR instruction. The following items provide a high-level outline:

Use of a source operand not aligned to 64-byte boundary (for 64-bit and 32-bit modes) results in a general-protection (#GP) exception. In 64-bit mode, the upper 32 bits of RDX and RAX are ignored.

Operation

RFBM ← (XCR0 OR IA32_XSS) AND EDX:EAX;
COMPMASK ← XCOMP_BV field from XSAVE header;
RSTORMASK ← XSTATE_BV field from XSAVE header;
IF in VMX non-root operation
  THEN VMXNR ← 1;
  ELSE VMXNR ← 0;
FI;
LAXA ← linear address of XSAVE area;
If RFBM[0] = 1
  THEN
     IF RSTORMASK[0] = 1
       THEN load x87 state from legacy region of XSAVE area;
       ELSE initialize x87 state;
     FI;
FI;
If RFBM[1] = 1
  THEN
     IF RSTORMASK[1] = 1
       THEN load SSE state from legacy region of XSAVE area;
       ELSE initialize SSE state;
     FI;
FI;
If RFBM[2] = 1
  THEN
     IF RSTORMASK[2] = 1
       THEN load AVX state from extended region (compacted format) of XSAVE area;
       ELSE initialize AVX state;
     FI;
FI;

Protected Mode Exceptions

#GP(0) If CPL > 0. If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. If a memory operand is not aligned on a 64-byte boundary, regardless of segment. If bit 63 of the XCOMP_BV field of the XSAVE header is 0. If a bit in XCR0 is 0 and the corresponding bit in the XCOMP_BV field of the XSAVE header is 1. If a bit in the XCOMP_BV field in the XSAVE header is 0 and the corresponding bit in the XSTATE_BV field is 1. If bytes 63:16 of the XSAVE header are not all zero. If attempting to write any reserved bits of the MXCSR register with 1.
#SS(0) If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit.
#PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs.
#NM If CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#UD If CPUID.01H:ECX.XSAVE[bit 26] = 0 or CPUID.(EAX=0DH,ECX=1):EAX.XSS[bit 3] = 0. If CR4.OSXSAVE[bit 18] = 0. If any of the LOCK, 66H, F3H or F2H prefixes is used.
#AC If this exception is disabled a general protection exception (#GP) is signaled if the memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary, as described above. If the alignment check

exception (#AC) is enabled (and the CPL is 3), signaling of #AC is not guaranteed and may vary with implementation, as follows. In all implementations where #AC is not signaled, a #GP is signaled in its place. In addition, the width of the alignment check may also vary with implementation. For instance, for a given implementation, an alignment check exception might be signaled for a 2-byte misalignment, whereas a #GP might be signaled for all other misalignments (4-, 8-, or 16-byte misalignments).

Real-Address Mode Exceptions

#GP If a memory operand is not aligned on a 64-byte boundary, regardless of segment. If any part of the operand lies outside the effective address space from 0 to FFFFH. If bit 63 of the XCOMP_BV field of the XSAVE header is 0. If a bit in XCR0 is 0 and the corresponding bit in the XCOMP_BV field of the XSAVE header is 1. If a bit in the XCOMP_BV field in the XSAVE header is 0 and the corresponding bit in the XSTATE_BV field is 1. If bytes 63:16 of the XSAVE header are not all zero. If attempting to write any reserved bits of the MXCSR register with 1.
#NM If CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#UD If CPUID.01H:ECX.XSAVE[bit 26] = 0 or CPUID.(EAX=0DH,ECX=1):EAX.XSS[bit 3] = 0. If CR4.OSXSAVE[bit 18] = 0. If any of the LOCK, 66H, F3H or F2H prefixes is used.

64-Bit Mode Exceptions

#GP(0) If CPL > 0. If a memory address is in a non-canonical form. If a memory operand is not aligned on a 64-byte boundary, regardless of segment. If bit 63 of the XCOMP_BV field of the XSAVE header is 0. If a bit in XCR0 is 0 and the corresponding bit in the XCOMP_BV field of the XSAVE header is 1. If a bit in the XCOMP_BV field in the XSAVE header is 0 and the corresponding bit in the XSTATE_BV field is 1. If bytes 63:16 of the XSAVE header are not all zero. If attempting to write any reserved bits of the MXCSR register with 1.
#SS(0) If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form.
#PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs.
#NM If CR0.TS[bit 3] = 1.
#UD If CPUID.01H:ECX.XSAVE[bit 26] = 0 or CPUID.(EAX=0DH,ECX=1):EAX.XSS[bit 3] = 0. If CR4.OSXSAVE[bit 18] = 0. If any of the LOCK, 66H, F3H or F2H prefixes is used.
#AC If this exception is disabled a general protection exception (#GP) is signaled if the memory operand is not aligned on a 16-byte boundary, as described above. If the alignment check exception (#AC) is enabled (and the CPL is 3), signaling of #AC is not guaranteed and may vary with implementation, as follows.

tion exception might be signaled for all other misalignments (4-, 8-, or 16-byte misalignments).
