The LDREXD and STREXD instructions behave as follows:
• The operands are considered as two words, that load or store to consecutive
word-addressed locations in memory.
• Register restrictions are the same as LDRD and STRD. For STRD in ARM state, the
registers Rm and R(m+1) provide the value that is stored, where m is an even number.
• The address in memory must be 64-bit aligned, address[2:0] == b000
When (A,U) == (0,1), (1,0) or (1,1) in CP15 register 1, the instruction generates alignment
faults if this condition is not met.
For more information, see Operation of unaligned accesses on page 4-13.
• The transaction must be a single access or indivisible burst on bus widths < 64 bits
For AXI based systems, the exclusive access signal, AxPROT[4], must remain asserted
throughout the burst where AxSIZE < 0x3.
The LDREXD and STREXD instructions share the same data monitors as the LDREX and
STREX instructions, a local and a global monitor for each processor, for shared memory
support.
