SWPP, SWPPA, SWPPAL, SWPPL
Swap quadword in memory
This instruction atomically loads a 128-bit quadword from a memory location, and stores the value
held in a pair of registers back to the same memory location. The value initially loaded from
memory is returned in the same pair of registers.
SWPPA and SWPPAL load from memory with acquire semantics.
SWPPL and SWPPAL store to memory with release semantics.
SWPP has neither acquire nor release semantics.
For information about the CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior of this instruction, see Architectural Constraints on UNPREDICTABLE behaviors, and particularly CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE behavior for A64 instructions.
If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
