Description

The Current Program Status Register (CPSR) holds processor status and control information.

The individual register bits have the following meaning:

Bits	Name	Function
[31]	N	Negative condition code flag
[30]	Z	Zero condition code flag
[29]	C	Carry condition code flag
[28]	V	Overflow condition code flag
[27]	Q	Cumulative saturation bit
[26:25]	IT[1:0]	If-Then execution state bits for the Thumb IT (If-Then) instruction
[24]	J	Jazelle bit
[19:16]	GE	Greater than or Equal flags
[15:10]	IT[7:2]	If-Then execution state bits for the Thumb IT (If-Then) instruction
[9]	E	Endianness execution state bit: 0 - Little-endian, 1 - Big-endian
[8]	A	Asynchronous abort mask bit
[7]	I	IRQ mask bit
[6]	F	FIRQ mask bit
[5]	T	Thumb execution state bit
[4:0]	M	Mode field

Consider using __get_CPSR and __set_CPSR for accessing this register.
