LDXR
Load exclusive register
This instruction derives an address from a base register
value, loads a 32-bit word or a
64-bit doubleword from memory,
and writes it to
a register. The memory access is atomic.
The PE marks the physical address being accessed as an exclusive access.
This exclusive access mark is checked by Store Exclusive instructions. See
Synchronization and semaphores.
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.
