Store-Release Exclusive Pair of registers stores two 32-bit words or two 64-bit doublewords to a memory location if the PE has exclusive access to the memory address, from two registers, and returns a status value of 0 if the store was successful, or of 1 if no store was performed. See Synchronization and semaphores. For information on single-copy atomicity and alignment requirements, see Requirements for single-copy atomicity and Alignment of data accesses. If a 64-bit pair Store-Exclusive succeeds, it causes a single-copy atomic update of the 128-bit memory location being updated. The instruction also has memory ordering semantics, as described in Load-Acquire, Store-Release. For information about memory accesses, see Load/Store addressing modes.

Aborts and alignment
If a synchronous Data Abort exception is generated by the execution of this instruction:
Accessing an address that is not aligned to the size of the data being accessed causes an Alignment fault Data Abort exception to be generated, subject to the following rules:
If AArch64.ExclusiveMonitorsPass() returns FALSE and the memory address, if accessed, would generate a synchronous Data Abort exception, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the exception is generated.
bits(64) address; bits(datasize) data; constant integer dbytes = datasize DIV 8; AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescExLDST(MemOp_STORE, TRUE, tagchecked); if n == 31 then CheckSPAlignment(); address = SP[]; elsif rn_unknown then address = bits(64) UNKNOWN; else address = X[n, 64]; if rt_unknown then data = bits(datasize) UNKNOWN; else bits(datasize DIV 2) el1 = X[t, datasize DIV 2]; bits(datasize DIV 2) el2 = X[t2, datasize DIV 2]; data = if BigEndian(accdesc.acctype) then el1:el2 else el2:el1; bit status = '1'; // Check whether the Exclusives monitors are set to include the // physical memory locations corresponding to virtual address // range [address, address+dbytes-1]. // If AArch64.ExclusiveMonitorsPass() returns FALSE and the memory address, // if accessed, would generate a synchronous Data Abort exception, it is // IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the exception is generated. // It is a limitation of this model that synchronous Data Aborts are never // generated in this case, as Mem[] is not called. // If FEAT_SPE is implemented, it is also IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether or not the // physical address packet is output when permitted and when // AArch64.ExclusiveMonitorPass() returns FALSE for a Store Exclusive instruction. // This behavior is not reflected here due to the previously stated limitation. if AArch64.ExclusiveMonitorsPass(address, dbytes, accdesc) then // This atomic write will be rejected if it does not refer // to the same physical locations after address translation. Mem[address, dbytes, accdesc] = data; status = ExclusiveMonitorsStatus(); X[s, 32] = ZeroExtend(status, 32);
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
