The term UNDEFINED specifically means treated as an undefined instruction. The Glossary in ARM DDI 0487E.a says for UNDEFINED: | Indicates cases where an attempt to execute a particular encoding bit | pattern generates an exception, that is taken to the current Exception | level, or to the default Exception level for taking exceptions if the | UNDEFINED encoding was executed at EL0. This applies to: | | * Any encoding that is not allocated to any instruction. | | * Any encoding that is defined as never accessible at the current | Exception level. | | * Some cases where an enable, disable, or trap control means an | encoding is not accessible at the current Exception level. So these should trigger an UNDEFINED exception rather than behaving as RAZ/WI.
