RCWSET, RCWSETA, RCWSETL, RCWSETAL

Read Check Write atomic bit Set on doubleword in memory atomically loads a 64-bit doubleword from memory, performs a bitwise OR with the complement of the value held in a register on it, and conditionally stores the result back to memory. Storing of the result back to memory is conditional on RCW Checks. The value initially loaded from memory is returned in the destination register. This instruction updates the condition flags based on the result of the update of memory.

Assembler Symbols

<Xs>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register to be stored, encoded in the "Rs" field.

<Xt>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register to be loaded, encoded in the "Rt" field.

<Xn|SP>

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.

Operation

if IsD128Enabled(PSTATE.EL) then UNDEFINED; bits(64) address; bits(64) newdata = X[s, 64]; bits(64) readdata; bits(4) nzcv; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescRCW(MemAtomicOp_ORR, FALSE, acquire, release, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; else address = X[n, 64]; bits(64) compdata = bits(64) UNKNOWN; // Irrelevant when not executing CAS (nzcv, readdata) = MemAtomicRCW(address, compdata, newdata, accdesc); PSTATE.<N,Z,C,V> = nzcv; X[t, 64] = readdata; // Return the old value when t!=31

Operational information

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
