Registers Altered
• MSR[C], unless an exception is generated
• MSR[UM], MSR[VM], MSR[UMS], MSR[VMS], if a TLB miss exception or a data storage
exception is generated
• ESR[EC], ESR[S], if an exception is generated
• ESR[DIZ], if a data storage exception is generated
Latency
• 1 cycle with

Notes
This instruction is used together with LWX to implement exclusive access, such as semaphores and
spinlocks.
The carry flag (MSR[C]) might not be set immediately (dependent on pipeline stall behavior). The SWX
instruction should not be immediately followed by an MSRCLR, MSRSET, MTS, or SRC instruction, to
ensure the correct value of the carry flag is obtained.
