**Submitter**: Luke Leighton (Libre-SOC)
**Requester**: Libre-SOC
**Impact on processor**:
```
Addition of three new GPR-based instructions
```
**Impact on software**:
```
Requires support for new instructions in assembler, debuggers,
and related tools.
```
**Keywords**:
```
GPR, Bit-manipulation, Shift, Arithmetic, Array Indexing
```
**Motivation**
Power ISA is missing LD/ST Indexed with shift, which is present in both ARM
and x86. Adding more LD/ST is thirty eight instructions, a compromise is to
add shift-and-add. Replaces a pair of explicit instructions in hot-loops.
Adding actual LD/ST Shifted saves even further.
**Notes and Observations**:
1. `sadd` and `sadduw` operate on unsigned integers.
2. `sadduw` is intended for performing address offsets,
as the second operand is constrained to lower 32-bits
and zero-extended.
3. All three are 2-in 1-out instructions.
4. shift-add operations are present in both x86 and aarch64,
since they are useful for both general arithmetic and for
computing addresses even when not immediately followed
with a load/store.
5. `saddw` is often more useful than `sadduw` because C/C++ programmers like
to use `int` for array indexing. for additional details see
.
6. Even Motorola 68000 has LD/ST-Indexed-Shifted
7. should average-shift-add also be included? what about CA-in / CA-out?
**Changes**
Add the following entries to:
* the Appendices of Book I
* Instructions of Book I added to Section 3.3.14.2

# Table of LD/ST-Indexed-Shift
The following demonstrates the alternative instructions that could
be considered to be added. They are all 9-bit XO:
* 12 Load Indexed Shifted (with Update)
* 3 Load Indexed Shifted Byte-reverse
* 8 Store Indexed Shifted (with Update)
* 3 Store Indexed Shifted Byte-reverse
* 6 Floating-Point Load Indexed Shifted (with Update)
* 6 Floating-Point Store Indexed Shifted (with Update)
* 6 Load Indexed Shifted Update Post-Increment
* 4 Store Indexed Shifted Update Post-Increment
* 2 Floating-Point Load Indexed Shifted Update Post-Increment
* 2 Floating-Point Store Indexed Shifted Update Post-Increment
Total count: 51 new 9-bit XO instructions, for an approximate total
XO cost of 3 bits within a single Primary Opcode. With the savings
that these instructions represent in hot-loops, as evidenced by their
inclusion in top-end ISAs such as x86 and ARM, the cost may be considered
justifiable. However there is no point in placing the 38
Shifted-only group in EXT2xx, they need to be in EXT0xx, because if added
as 64-bit Encoding the benefit reduction in binary size is not achieved.
Post-Increment-Shifted on the other hand could reasonably be proposed
in EXT2xx.

# Shift-and-Add
`sadd RT, RA, RB, SH`
| 0-5 | 6-10 | 11-15 | 16-20 | 21-22 | 23-30 | 31 | Form |
|-------|------|-------|-------|-------|-------|----|----------|
| PO | RT | RA | RB | SH | XO | Rc | Z23-Form |
Pseudocode:
```
shift <- SH + 1 # Shift is between 1-4
sum[0:63] <- ((RB) << shift) + (RA) # Shift RB, add RA
RT <- sum # Result stored in RT
```
When `SH` is zero, the contents of register RB are multiplied by 2,
added to the contents of register RA, and the result stored in RT.
`SH` is a 2-bit bit-field, and allows multiplication of RB by 2, 4, 8, 16.
Operands RA and RB, and the result RT are all 64-bit, unsigned integers.
**NEED EXAMPLES (not sure how to embed SH)!!!**
Examples:
```
# adds r1 to (r2*8)
sadd r4, r1, r2, 3
```
# Shift-and-Add Signed Word
`saddw RT, RA, RB, SH`

|-------|------|-------|-------|-------|-------|----|----------|
| PO | RT | RA | RB | SH | XO | Rc | Z23-Form |
Pseudocode:
```
shift <- SH + 1 # Shift is between 1-4
n <- EXTS64((RB)[32:63]) # Only use lower 32-bits of RB
sum[0:63] <- (n << shift) + (RA) # Shift n, add RA
RT <- sum # Result stored in RT
```
When `SH` is zero, the lower word contents of register RB are multiplied by 2,
added to the contents of register RA, and the result stored in RT.
`SH` is a 2-bit bit-field, and allows multiplication of RB by 2, 4, 8, 16.
Operands RA and RB, and the result RT are all 64-bit, signed integers.
*Programmer's Note:
The advantage of this instruction is doing address offsets. RA is the base 64-bit
address. RB is the offset into data structure limited to 32-bit.*
Examples:
```
# r4 = r1 + (r2*16)
saddw r4, r1, r2, 3
```
