Operand encoding
Each mode is a value of the Op/En column above. It says which field of the encoded instruction carries each operand, in the order they are written, and whether the instruction reads it, writes it or both.

Description
Performs a bitwise exclusive OR (XOR) operation on the destination (first) and source (second) operands and stores the result in the destination operand location. The source operand can be an immediate, a register, or a memory location; the destination operand can be a register or a memory location. (However, two memory operands cannot be used in one instruction.) Each bit of the result is 1 if the corresponding bits of the operands are different; each bit is 0 if the corresponding bits are the same.
This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be executed atomically.
In 64-bit mode, using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits access to additional registers (R8-R15). Using a REX prefix in the form of REX.W promotes operation to 64 bits. See the summary chart at the beginning of this section for encoding data and limits.
Operation
DEST := DEST XOR SRC;Flags affected
The OF and CF flags are cleared; the SF, ZF, and PF flags are set according to the result. The state of the AF flag is undefined.
Exceptions
Protected mode
#GP(0) | If the destination operand points to a non-writable segment. If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. If the DS, ES, FS, or GS register contains a NULL segment selector. |
#SS(0) | If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. #PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs. |
#AC(0) | If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3. |
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand. |
Real address mode
#GP | If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. |
#SS | If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. |
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand. |
Virtual-8086 mode
#GP(0) | If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segment limit. |
#SS(0) | If a memory operand effective address is outside the SS segment limit. #PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs. |
#AC(0) | If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made. |
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand. |
Compatibility mode
| Same exceptions as in protected mode. |
64-bit mode
#SS(0) | If a memory address referencing the SS segment is in a non-canonical form. |
#GP(0) | If the memory address is in a non-canonical form. #PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs. |
#AC(0) | If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3. |
#UD | If the LOCK prefix is used but the destination is not a memory operand. |
