RCWSSWPP, RCWSSWPPA, RCWSSWPPL, RCWSSWPPAL

Read Check Write Software Swap quadword in memory atomically loads a 128-bit quadword from a memory location, and conditionally stores the value held in a pair of registers back to the same memory location. Storing back to memory is conditional on RCW Checks and RCWS Checks. The value initially loaded from memory is returned in the same pair of registers. This instruction updates the condition flags based on the result of the update of memory.

Assembler Symbols

<Xt1>

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

<Xt2>

Is the 64-bit name of the second general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt2" field.

<Xn|SP>

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

Operation

Operational information

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