RCWSCASP, RCWSCASPA, RCWSCASPL, RCWSCASPAL
Read check write software compare and swap quadword in memory
This instruction reads a 128-bit quadword
from memory, and compares it against the value held in a pair of registers. If the comparison
is equal, the value in a second pair of registers is conditionally written to memory.
Storing back to memory is conditional on RCW Checks and RCWS Checks. If the write is
performed, the read and the write occur atomically such that no other
modification of the memory location can take place between the read and the write.
This instruction updates the condition flags based on the result of the update of memory.
RCWSCASPA and RCWSCASPAL load from memory with acquire semantics.
RCWSCASPL and RCWSCASPAL store to memory with release semantics.
RCWSCASP has neither acquire nor release semantics.
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.

Is the 64-bit name of the second general-purpose register to be compared and loaded.

Is the 64-bit name of the first general-purpose register to be conditionally stored, encoded in the "Rt" field. <Xt> must be an even-numbered register.

Is the 64-bit name of the second general-purpose register to be conditionally stored.

Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose base register or stack pointer, encoded in the "Rn" field.
