Store Exclusive Register stores a 32-bit word or a 64-bit doubleword from a register to memory if the PE has exclusive access to the memory address, and returns a status value of 0 if the store was successful, or of 1 if no store was performed. See Synchronization and semaphores. For information about memory accesses see Load/Store addressing modes.

Aborts and alignment
If a synchronous Data Abort exception is generated by the execution of this instruction:
Accessing an address that is not aligned to the size of the data being accessed causes an Alignment fault Data Abort exception to be generated, subject to the following rules:
If AArch64.ExclusiveMonitorsPass() returns FALSE and the memory address, if accessed, would generate a synchronous Data Abort exception, it is implementation defined whether the exception is generated.

If PSTATE.DIT is 1, the timing of this instruction is insensitive to the value of the data being loaded or stored.
