LDUMAXB, LDUMAXAB, LDUMAXALB, LDUMAXLB Atomic unsigned maximum on byte in memory This instruction atomically loads an 8-bit byte from memory, compares it against the value held in a register, and stores the larger value back to memory, treating the values as unsigned numbers. The value initially loaded from memory is returned in the destination register. If the destination register is not WZR, LDUMAXAB and LDUMAXALB load from memory with acquire semantics. LDUMAXLB and LDUMAXALB store to memory with release semantics. LDUMAXB has neither acquire nor release semantics. For more information about memory ordering semantics, see Load-Acquire, Store-Release. For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes. If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored. This instruction is used by the alias STUMAXB, STUMAXLB A == '0' && Rt == '11111' See below for details of when the alias is preferred. 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 LDUMAXAB <Ws>, <Wt>, [<Xn|SP>] 1 1 LDUMAXALB <Ws>, <Wt>, [<Xn|SP>] 0 0 LDUMAXB <Ws>, <Wt>, [<Xn|SP>] 0 1 LDUMAXLB <Ws>, <Wt>, [<Xn|SP>] if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_LSE) then UNDEFINED; constant integer s = UInt(Rs); constant integer t = UInt(Rt); constant integer n = UInt(Rn); constant boolean acquire = A == '1' && Rt != '11111'; constant boolean release = R == '1'; constant boolean tagchecked = n != 31; <Ws> Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register holding the data value to be operated on with the contents of the memory location, encoded in the "Rs" field. <Wt> Is the 32-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.
