Programming Notes
Execution of this instruction is privileged.
This instruction is typically used as part of a code sequence which can provide the equivalent of an atomic
read-modify-write of the MSR, as follows:
mfmsr Rn #save EE in Rn[16]
wrteei 0 #Turn off EE (leaving other bits unchanged)
• #Code with EE disabled
•
•
wrtee Rn #restore EE without affecting any MSR changes that occurred in the disabled code
