# hwreg

Bits of a hardware register being accessed.

The bits of this operand have the following meaning:

> Bits | Description | Value Range
> --- | --- | ---
> 5:0 | Register id. | 0..63
> 10:6 | First bit offset. | 0..31
> 15:11 | Size in bits. | 1..32

This operand may be specified as one of the following:

- An integer_number or an absolute_expression. The value must be in the range from 0 to 0xFFFF.

- An hwreg value which is described below.

  > Hwreg Value Syntax | Description
  > --- | ---
  > hwreg({0..63}) | All bits of a register indicated by the register id.
  > hwreg(<name>) | All bits of a register indicated by the register name.
  > hwreg({0..63}, {0..31}, {1..32}) | Register bits indicated by the register id, first bit offset and size.
  > hwreg(<name>, {0..31}, {1..32}) | Register bits indicated by the register name, first bit offset and size.

Numeric values may be specified as positive integer numbers or absolute expressions.

Predefined register names include:

> Name | Description
> --- | ---
> HW_REG_MODE | Shader writable mode bits.
> HW_REG_STATUS | Shader read-only status.
> HW_REG_TRAPSTS | Trap status.
> HW_REG_HW_ID | Id of wave, simd, compute unit, etc.
> HW_REG_GPR_ALLOC | Per-wave SGPR and VGPR allocation.
> HW_REG_LDS_ALLOC | Per-wave LDS allocation.
> HW_REG_IB_STS | Counters of outstanding instructions.

Examples:

    reg = 1
    offset = 2
    size = 4
    hwreg_enc = reg | (offset << 6) | ((size - 1) << 11)

    s_getreg_b32 s2, 0x1881
    s_getreg_b32 s2, hwreg_enc                     // the same as above
    s_getreg_b32 s2, hwreg(1, 2, 4)                // the same as above
    s_getreg_b32 s2, hwreg(reg, offset, size)      // the same as above

    s_getreg_b32 s2, hwreg(15)
    s_getreg_b32 s2, hwreg(51, 1, 31)
    s_getreg_b32 s2, hwreg(HW_REG_LDS_ALLOC, 0, 1)
