clmulh

Carry-less multiply (high-part)

clmulh produces the upper half of the 2*XLEN carry-less product

This instruction must have data-independent timing when extension Zkt is enabled.

Assembly format

clmulh xd, xs1, xs2

Decode Variables

Bits<5> xs2 = $encoding[24:20];
Bits<5> xs1 = $encoding[19:15];
Bits<5> xd = $encoding[11:7];

Execution

if (implemented?(ExtensionName::B) && (CSR[misa].B == 1'b0)) {
  raise(ExceptionCode::IllegalInstruction, mode(), $encoding);
}
XReg xs1_val = X[xs1];
XReg xs2_val = X[xs2];
XReg output = 0;
for (U32 i = 1; i <= xlen(); i++) {
  output = (xs2_val : output;
}
X[xd] = output;
