Abstract
Embodiments of an invention for a load instruction for code conversion are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes an instruction unit and an execution unit. The instruction unit is to receive an instruction having a source operand to indicate a source location and a destination operand to indicate a destination location. The execution unit is to execute the instruction. Execution of the instruction includes checking the access permissions of the source location and loading content from the source location into the destination location if the access permissions of the source location indicate that the content is executable.
