Single-copy Atomic 64-byte Store

ST64B <Xt>, [<Xn|SP>]

Stores a 64-byte block of data atomically.

Details

Single-copy Atomic 64-byte Store writes a 64-byte block from 8 consecutive X-registers starting at Xt to memory as a single atomic operation. The address must be 64-byte aligned; misalignment raises an Alignment Fault. Condition flags are not affected. Execution is AArch64-only and requires Accelerator support (FEAT_LS64).

Pseudocode Operation

address ← Xn|SP; if address<5:0> != 0 then Fault(Alignment); [address] ← [Xt, Xt+1, ..., Xt+7]; // 64 bytes stored atomically

Example

ST64B x3, [x1]

Description

Single-copy Atomic 64-byte Store without status result stores eight 64-bit doublewords from consecutive registers, Xt to X(t+7), to a memory location. The data that is stored is atomic and is required to be 64-byte aligned.

Operation

CheckLDST64BEnabled();

bits(512) data;
bits(64) address;
bits(64) value;

AccessDescriptor accdesc = CreateAccDescLS64(memop, tagchecked);
for i = 0 to 7
    value = X[t+i, 64];
    if BigEndian(accdesc.acctype) then value = BigEndianReverse(value);
    data<63+64*i:64*i> = value;

if n == 31 then
    CheckSPAlignment();
    address = SP[];
else
    address = X[n, 64];

MemStore64B(address, data, accdesc);
