STLXR
Store-release exclusive register
This instruction
stores a 32-bit word or a 64-bit doubleword to
memory if the PE has exclusive access to the
memory address, and returns a status
value of 0 if the
store was successful, or of 1 if no store was performed.
See
Synchronization and semaphores.
The memory access is atomic.
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 information about the CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors, and particularly STLXR.
Aborts and alignment
If a synchronous Data Abort exception is generated by the execution of this instruction:
Memory is not updated.
<Ws> is not updated.
Accessing an address that is not aligned to the size of the data being accessed causes an
Alignment fault Data Abort exception to be generated, subject to the following rules:
If AArch64.ExclusiveMonitorsPass() returns TRUE, the exception
is generated.
Otherwise, it is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED whether the exception is generated.
If AArch64.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 PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.

<Ws>
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register into which the status result of the store exclusive is written, encoded in the "Rs" field. The value returned is:
0
If the operation updates memory.
1
If the operation fails to update memory.
<Wt>
Is the 32-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, 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.
<Xt>
Is the 64-bit name of the general-purpose register to be transferred, encoded in the "Rt" field.
