Quark SoC X1000 Core Instructions
The instructions below were added to the Intel
®
Quark SoC X1000 Core (in microcode
and in hardware for RDTSC).
12.2.5.1 CMPXCHG8B - Compare and Exchange Bytes
Description
Compares the 64-bit value in EDX:EAX (or 128-bit value in RDX:RAX if operand size is
128 bits) with the operand (destination operand). If the values are equal, the 64-bit
value in ECX:EBX (or 128-bit value in RCX:RBX) is stored in the destination operand.
Otherwise, the value in the destination operand is loaded into EDX:EAX (or RDX:RAX).
The destination operand is an 8-byte memory location (or 16-byte memory location if
operand size is 128 bits). For the EDX:EAX and ECX:EBX register pairs, EDX and ECX
contain the high-order 32 bits and EAX and EBX contain the loworder 32 bits of a 64-bit
value. For the RDX:RAX and RCX:RBX register pairs, RDX and RCX contain the high-
order 64 bits and RAX and RBX contain the low-order 64 bits of a 128-bit value.
This instruction can be used with a LOCK prefix to allow the instruction to be executed
atomically. To simplify the interface to the processor’s bus, the destination operand
receives a write cycle without regard to the result of the comparison. The destination
operand is written back if the comparison fails; otherwise, the source operand is
written into the destination. (The processor never produces a locked read without also
producing a locked write.)
