ARMv8.1 is an extension to ARMv8, an ARM instruction set architecture which brought a large number of fundamental changes to the instruction set, including the introduction of 64-bit operating capabilities.
Mandatory Features from ARMv8.0[edit]
- CRC32 was optional in ARMv8.0, now mandatory.
Mandatory Features in ARMv8.1[edit]
- Large System Extensions (LSE)
- New atomic instructions to support scalable performance:
- Instructions for full-word, half-word, and byte operations are available.
- Most of the following have optional load-acquire and/or store-release semantics.
- Compare and Swap: CAS, CASP (up to 128-bit values).
- Atomic Memory Operations: ADD, CLR, EOR, SET, MAX (signed/unsigned), MIN (signed/unsigned).
- LD<op> versions return the value of the updated memory (LDADD for example).
- ST<op> versions are "fire-and-forget" (STADD for example).
- SWAP
- Rounding Double Multiply Add/Subtract instruction (RDMA)
- Limited Ordering Regions (LOR)
- Privileged access never (PAN)
- Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE)
Optional Features in ARMv8.1[edit]
- Hierarchical permission disables (HPD)
- 16-bit VMID (VMID16)
- PMU Extensions (PMU)
