This is a collection of Intel®’ IA32® Software Developer's Manuals (URL of the day) and AMD' AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual together with the related specifications, application notes, white papers, and change logs. The collection aims to keep all available revisions. It was originally created by Michal Necasek, see OS/2 Museum.

If you have a public document, related to the IA32® specifications and missing from the collection, please mail it to me. The content of this URL and all sub-ULRs is available for convenient bulk download by rsync x86docs password "" (empty).

SWPT, SWPTA, SWPTAL, SWPTL

Swap unprivileged

This instruction atomically loads a 32-bit word or 64-bit doubleword from a memory location, and stores the value held in a register back to the same memory location. The value initially loaded from memory is returned in the destination register.

• If the destination register is not one of WZR or XZR, SWPTA and SWPTAL load from memory with acquire semantics.
• SWPTL and SWPTAL store to memory with release semantics.
• SWPT has neither acquire nor release semantics.

For more information about memory ordering semantics, see Load-Acquire, Store-Release.

For information about addressing modes, see Load/Store addressing modes.

Explicit Memory effects produced by the instruction behave as if the instruction was executed at EL0 if the Effective value of PSTATE.UAO is 0 and either:

• The instruction is executed at EL1.
• The instruction is executed at EL2 when the Effective value of HCR_EL2().{E2H, TGE} is '11'.

Otherwise, the Explicit Memory effects operate with the restrictions determined by the Exception level at which the instruction is executed.
