There's a Linux patch that exposes it via prctl: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240410211652.16640-1-zayd_qums...

There's also the CFINV instruction (architectural, part of FEAT_FLAGM), which helps with emulating the x86-64 CMP instruction.

Not instructions per se. Rosetta is a software based binary translator, and one of the most intensive parts about translating x86 to ARM is having to make sure all load/store instructions are strictly well ordered. To alleviate this pressure, Apple implemented the Total Store Ordering (TSO) feature in hardware, which makes sure that all ARM load and store instructions (transparently) follow the same memory ordering rules as x86.

It is funny to hear sometimes though:

"Apple created a chip which is not an X86! Its awesome! And the best thing about it is ... it does TSO does like an X86! Isn't that great?"

Only some of the time.

I think the last time I ran amd64 on my mac was months ago, a game.
