<label>

Is the program label to be unconditionally branched to. Its offset from the address of this instruction, in the range +/-128MB, is encoded as "imm26" times 4.

Operation

if HaveGCS() && GCSPCREnabled(PSTATE.EL) then AddGCSRecord(PC[] + 4); X[30, 64] = PC[] + 4; BranchTo(PC[] + offset, BranchType_DIRCALL, FALSE);
