LDAR
Load-acquire register
This instruction derives an address from a base register value,
loads a 32-bit word or 64-bit doubleword from memory, and writes
it to a register. The instruction also has memory ordering
semantics as described in
Load-Acquire, Store-Release.
For information about addressing modes, see
Load/Store addressing modes.
For this instruction, if the destination is WZR/XZR, it is impossible
for software to observe the presence of the acquire semantic other
than its effect on the arrival at endpoints.
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
