MVN, MVNS (immediate)
Bitwise NOT (immediate)
Bitwise NOT (immediate) writes the bitwise inverse of an immediate value to the destination register.
If the destination register is not the PC, the MVNS variant of the instruction updates the condition flags based on the result.
The field descriptions for <Rd> identify the encodings where the PC is permitted as the destination register. ARM deprecates any use of these encodings. However, when the destination register is the PC:
The MVN variant of the instruction is an interworking branch, see Pseudocode description of operations on the AArch32 general-purpose registers and the PC.
The MVNS variant of the instruction performs an exception return without the use of the stack. In this case:The PE branches to the address written to the PC, and restores PSTATE from SPSR_<current_mode>.The PE checks SPSR_<current_mode> for an illegal return event. See Illegal return events from AArch32 state.The instruction is undefined in Hyp mode.The instruction is constrained unpredictable in User mode and System mode.
For more information about the constrained unpredictable behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors.
It has encodings from the following instruction sets:
A32 (
A1
)
and
T32 (
T1
)

<Rd>
For encoding A1: is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field. Arm deprecates using the PC as the destination register, but if the PC is used:
For the MVN variant, the instruction is a branch to the address calculated by the operation. This is an interworking branch, see Pseudocode description of operations on the AArch32 general-purpose registers and the PC.
For the MVNS variant, the instruction performs an exception return, that restores PSTATE from SPSR_<current_mode>.
<Rd>
For encoding T1: is the general-purpose destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.
<const>
For encoding A1: an immediate value. See Modified immediate constants in A32 instructions for the range of values.
<const>
For encoding T1: an immediate value. See Modified immediate constants in T32 instructions for the range of values.
