Arm® A32/T32 Instruction Set Architecture: Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile Documentation

STLEXD

Store-Release Exclusive Doubleword stores a doubleword from two registers to memory if the executing PE has exclusive access to the memory at that address, and returns a status value of 0 if the store was successful, or of 1 if no store was performed.

The instruction also has memory ordering semantics as described in Load-Acquire, Store-Release.

For more information about support for shared memory see Synchronization and semaphores. For information about memory accesses see Memory accesses.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

A1

d = UInt(Rd);  t = UInt(Rt);  t2 = t+1;  n = UInt(Rn);
if d == 15 || Rt<0> == '1' || t2 == 15 || n == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE;
if d == n || d == t || d == t2 then UNPREDICTABLE;

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If d == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The store instruction executes but the value stored is unknown.

If d == n, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The instruction performs the store to an unknown address.

If Rt<0> == '1', then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The instruction executes with the additional decode: Rt<0> = '0'.
• The instruction executes with the additional decode: t2 = t.
• The instruction executes as described, with no change to its behavior and no additional side effects.

If Rt == '1110', then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The instruction is handled as described in Using R15.

T1

d = UInt(Rd);  t = UInt(Rt);  t2 = UInt(Rt2);  n = UInt(Rn);
if d == 15 || t == 15 || t2 == 15 || n == 15 then UNPREDICTABLE;
if d == n || d == t || d == t2 then UNPREDICTABLE;

CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior

If d == t, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The store instruction executes but the value stored is unknown.

If d == n, then one of the following behaviors must occur:

• The instruction is undefined.
• The instruction executes as NOP.
• The instruction performs the store to an unknown address.

Assembler Symbols

Aborts and alignment

If a synchronous Data Abort exception is generated by the execution of this instruction:

• Memory is not updated.
• <Rd> is not updated.

A non word-aligned memory address causes an Alignment fault Data Abort exception to be generated, subject to the following rules:

• If AArch32.ExclusiveMonitorsPass() returns TRUE, the exception is generated.
• Otherwise, it is implementation defined whether the exception is generated.

If AArch32.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.

if ConditionPassed() then
    EncodingSpecificOperations();
    address = R[n];
    // Create doubleword to store such that R[t] will be stored at address and R[t2] at address+4.
    value = if BigEndian() then R[t]:R[t2] else R[t2]:R[t];
    if AArch32.ExclusiveMonitorsPass(address, 8) then
        MemO[address, 8] = value;
        R[d] = ZeroExtend('0');
    else
        R[d] = ZeroExtend('1');

Operational information

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