\chapter{RV32/64G Instruction Set Listings}

One goal of the RISC-V project is that it be used as a stable software
development target.  For this purpose, we define a combination of a
base ISA (RV32I or RV64I) plus selected standard extensions (IMAFD, Zicsr, Zifencei) as
a ``general-purpose'' ISA, and we use the abbreviation G for the IMAFDZicsr\_Zifencei
combination of instruction-set extensions.    This chapter presents
opcode maps and instruction-set listings for RV32G and RV64G.

\input{opcode-map}

Table~\ref{opcodemap} shows a map of the major opcodes for RVG.  Major
opcodes with 3 or more lower bits set are reserved for instruction
lengths greater than 32 bits.  Opcodes marked as {\em reserved} should
be avoided for custom instruction-set extensions as they might be used
by future standard extensions.  Major opcodes marked as {\em custom-0}
and {\em custom-1} will be avoided by future standard extensions and
are recommended for use by custom instruction-set extensions within
the base 32-bit instruction format.  The opcodes marked {\em
  custom-2/rv128} and {\em custom-3/rv128} are reserved for future use
by RV128, but will otherwise be avoided for standard extensions and so
can also be used for custom instruction-set extensions in RV32 and
RV64.

We believe RV32G and RV64G provide simple but complete instruction
sets for a broad range of general-purpose computing.  The optional
compressed instruction set described in Chapter~\ref{compressed} can
be added (forming RV32GC and RV64GC) to improve performance, code
size, and energy efficiency, though with some additional hardware
complexity.

As we move beyond IMAFDC into further instruction-set extensions, the
added instructions tend to be more domain-specific and only provide
benefits to a restricted class of applications, e.g., for multimedia
or security.  Unlike most commercial ISAs, the RISC-V ISA design
clearly separates the base ISA and broadly applicable standard
extensions from these more specialized additions.
Chapter~\ref{extensions} has a more extensive discussion of ways to
add extensions to the RISC-V ISA.

Table~\ref{rvgcsrnames} lists the CSRs that have
currently been allocated CSR addresses.  The timers, counters, and
floating-point CSRs are the only CSRs defined in this specification.
