This preface also includes a list of documents that can be used for reference. The SunOS assembler that runs on x86, referred to as the “SunOS x86” in this manual, translates source files that are in assembly language format into object files in linking format. In the program development process, the assembler is a tool to use in producing program modules intended to exploit features of the Intel® architecture in ways that cannot be easily done using high level languages and their compilers. Whether assembly language is chosen for the development of program modules depends on the extent to which and the ease with which the language allows the programmer to control the architectural features of the processor. The assembly language described in this manual offers full direct access to the x86 instruction set. The assembler may also be used in connection with SunOS 5.1 macro preprocessors to achieve full macro-assembler capability. Furthermore, the assembler responds to directives that allow the programmer direct control over the contents of the relocatable object file. This document describes the language in which the source files must be written. The nature of the machine mnemonics governs the way in which the program’s executable portion is written. This document includes descriptions of the pseudo operations that allow control over the object file. This facilitates the development of programs that are easy to understand and maintain. xvii Before You Read This Book Use the following documents as references: • • • • • • Intel 80386 Programmer’s Reference Manual i486™ Microprocessor Programmer Reference Manual (1990) Intel 80387 Programmer’s Reference Manual (1987) System V Application Binary Interface Intel 386 Processor Supplement System V Application Binary Interface SVID System V Interface Definition You should also become familiar with the following: • Man pages: as(1), ld(1), cpp(1), mn(4),cof2elf(1) (elf - Executable and Linking Format), elf(3E), dis(1), a.out(5). • ELF-related sections of the Programming Utilities manual.

This translation process is called assembly. The main input required to assemble a source file in assembly language format is that source file itself. This chapter has the following organization: Introduction page 1 Source Files in Assembly Language Format page 2 Pseudo Operations page 14 Introduction In whatever manner it is produced, the source input file must have a certain structure and content. The specification of this structure and content constitutes the syntax of the assembly language. A source file may be produced by one of the following: • • A programmer using a text editor • • An automatic program generator A compiler as an intermediate step in the process of translating from a highlevel language to executable code Some other mechanism. 1 1 The assembler may also allow ancillary input incidental to the translation process. For example, there are several invocation options available. Each such option exercised constitutes information input to the assembler. However, this ancillary input has little direct connection to the translation process, so it is not properly a subject for this manual. Information about invoking the assembler and the available options appears in the as(1) man pages. This chapter describes the overall structure required by the assembler for input source files. This structure is relatively simple: the input source file must be a sequence of assembly language statements. This chapter also begins the specification of the contents of the input source file by describing assembly language statements as textual objects of a certain form. This document completes the specification by presenting detailed assembly language statements that correspond to the Intel instruction set and are intended for use on machines that run SunOS x86 architecture. For more information on assembly language instruction sets, please refer to the product documentation from Intel Corporation. Source Files in Assembly Language Format This section details the following: • • • • • file organization statements values and symbols expressions machine instruction syntax File Organization Input to the assembler is a text file consisting of a sequence of statements. Each statement ends with the first occurrence of a newline character (ASCII LF), or of a semicolon (;) that is not within a string operand or between a slash and a newline character. Thus, it is possible to have several statements on one line. 2 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 To make programs easy to read, understand and maintain, however, it is good programming practice not to have more than one statement per line. As indicated above, a line may contain one or more statements. If several statements appear on a line, they must be separated by semicolons (;). Statements This section outlines the types of statements that apply to assembly language. Each statement must be one of the following types: • An empty statement is one that contains nothing other than spaces, tabs, or formfeed characters. Empty statements have no meaning to the assembler. They can be inserted freely to improve the appearance of a source file or of a listing generated from it. • An assignment statement is one that gives a value to a symbol. It consists of a symbol, followed by an equal sign (=), followed by an expression. The expression is evaluated and the result is assigned to the symbol. Assignment statements do not generate any code. They are used only to assign assembly time values to symbols. • A pseudo operation statement is a directive to the assembler that does not necessarily generate any code. It consists of a pseudo operation code, optionally followed by operands. Every pseudo operation code begins with a period (.). • A machine operation statement is a mnemonic representation of an executable machine language instruction to which it is translated by the assembler. It consists of an operation code, optionally followed by operands. Furthermore, any statement remains a statement even if it is modified in either or both of the following ways: • Prefixing a label at the beginning of the statement. A label consists of a symbol followed by a colon (:). When the assembler encounters a label, it assigns the value of the location counter to the label. • Appending a comment at the end of the statement by preceding the comment with a slash (/). Assembler Input 3 1 The assembler ignores all characters following a slash up to the next occurrence of newline. This facility allows insertion of internal program documentation into the source file for a program. Values and Symbol Types This section presents the values and symbol types that the assembler uses. Values Values are represented in the assembler by numerals which can be faithfully represented in standard two’s complement binary positional notation using 32 bits. All integer arithmetic is performed using 32 bits of precision. Note, however, that the values used in an x86 instruction may require 8, 16, or 32 bits. Symbols A symbol has a value and a symbol type, each of which is either specified explicitly by an assignment statement or implicitly from context. Refer to the next section for the regular definition of the expressions of a symbol. The following symbols are reserved by the assembler: .Commonly referred to as dot. This is the location counter while assembling a program. It takes on the current location in the text, data, or bss section. .text This symbol is of type text. It is used to label the beginning of a .text section in the program being assembled. .data This symbol is of type data. It is used to label the beginning of a data section in the program being assembled. .bss This symbol is of type bss. It is used to label the beginning of a .bss section in the program being assembled. 4 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 .init This is used with C++ programs which require constructors. .fini This is used with C++ programs which require destructors. Symbol Types Symbol type is one of the following: undefined A value is of undefined symbol type if it has not yet been defined. Example instances of undefined symbol types are forward references and externals. absolute A value is of absolute symbol type it does not change with relocation. Example instances of absolute symbol types are numeric constants and expressions whose proper sub-expressions are themselves all absolute. text A value is of text symbol type if it is relative to the .text section. data A value is of data symbol type if it is relative to the .data section. bss A value is of bss symbol type if it is relative to the .bss section. You can give any of these symbol types the attribute EXTERNAL. Sections Five of the symbol types are defined with respect to certain sections of the object file into which the assembler translates the source file. This section describes symbol types. Assembler Input 5 1 If the assembler translates a particular assembly language statement into a machine language instruction or into a data allocation, the translation is associated with one of the following five sections of the object file into which the assembler is translating the source file: Table 1-1 Object File Sections Section Purpose text This is an initialized section. Normally, it is read-only and contains code from a program. It may also contain read-only tables data This is an initialized section. Normally, it is readable and writable. It contains initialized data. These can be scalars or tables. bss This is an initialized section. Space is not allocated for this segment in the object file. init This is used with C++ programs that require constructors. fini This is used by C++ programs that require destructors. An optional section, .comment, may also be produced (see Chapter 3, “Assembler Output”). The section associated with the translated statement is .text unless the original statement occurs after a section control pseudo operation has directed the assembler to associate the statement with another section. Expressions The expressions accepted by the x86 assembler are defined by their syntax and semantics. The following are the operators supported by the assembler: Table 1-2 6 Operators Supported by the Assembler Operator Action + Addition - Subtraction \* Multiplication \/ Division x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 Table 1-2 Operators Supported by the Assembler Operator Action & Bitwise logical and | Bitwise logical or >> Right shift << Left shift \% Remainder operator ! Bitwise logical and not Expression Syntax Table 1-3 shows syntactic rules, the non terminals are represented by lowercase letters, the terminal symbols are represented by uppercase letters, and the symbols enclosed in double quotes are terminal symbols. There is no precedence assigned to the operators. You must use square brackets to establish precedence. Assembler Input 7 1 Table 1-3 Syntactical Rules of Expressions expr | | | | | | | | | | ; : term expr "+" term expr "-" term expr "\*" term expr "\/" term expr "&" term expr "|" term expr ">>" term expr "<<" term expr "\%" term expr "!" term term | | | | | ; : id number "-" term "[" expr "]" "" term " " term id : LABEL ; number : DEC_VAL | HEX_VAL | OCT_VAL | BIN_VAL ; The terminal nodes are given by the following regular expressions: LABEL DEC_VAL HEX_VAL OCT_VAL BIN_VAL 8 = = = = = [a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*: [1-9][0-9]* 0[Xx][0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F]* 0[0-7]* 0[Bb][0-1][0-1]* x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 In the above regular expressions, choices are enclosed in square brackets; a range of choices is indicated by letters or numbers separated by a dash (-); and the asterisk (*) indicates zero or more instances of the previous character. Expression Semantics (Absolute vs. Relocatable) Semantically, the expressions fall into two groups, absolute and relocatable. The equations later in this section show the legal combinations of absolute and relocatable operands for the addition and subtraction operators. All other operations are only legal on absolute-valued expressions. All numbers have the absolute attribute. Symbols used to reference storage, text, or data are relocatable. In an assignment statement, symbols on the left side inherit their relocation attributes from the right side. In the equations below, a is an absolute-valued expression and r is a relocatable-valued expression. The resulting type of the operation is shown to the right of the equal sign. a r a r r + + - a a a a r = = = = = a r a r a In the last example, you must declare the relocatable expressions before taking their difference. Following are some examples of valid expressions: label $label [label + 0x100] [label1 - label2] $[label1 - label2] Assembler Input 9 1 Following are some examples of invalid expressions: [$label - $label] [label1 * 5] (label + 0x20) Machine Instruction Syntax This section describes the instructions that the assembler accepts. The detailed specification of how the particular instructions operate is not included; for this, see Intel’s 80386 Programmer’s Reference Manual. The following list describes the three main aspects of the SunOS x86 assembler: • All register names use the percent sign (%) as a prefix to distinguish them from symbol names. • Instructions with two operands use the left one as the source and the right one as the destination. This follows the SunOS operating environment assembler convention, and is reversed from Intel’s notation. • Most instructions that can operate on a byte, word, or long may have b, w, or l appended to them. When an opcode is specified with no type suffix, it usually defaults to long. In general, the SunOS assembler derives its type information from the opcode, where the Intel assembler can derive its type information from the operand types. Where the type information is derived motivates the b, w, and l suffixes used in the SunOS assembler. For example, in the instruction movw $1,%eax the w suffix indicates the operand is a word. Operands Three kinds of operands are generally available to the instructions: register, memory, and immediate. Full descriptions of each type appear in “Notational Conventions” on page 23. Indirect operands are available only to jump and call instructions. The assembler always assumes it is generating code for a 32-bit segment. When 16-bit data is called for (e.g., movw %ax, %bx), the assembler automatically generates the 16-bit data prefix byte. 10 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 Byte, word, and long registers are available on the x86 processor. The instruction pointer (%eip) and flag register (%efl) are not available as explicit operands to the instructions. The code segment (%cs) may be used as a source operand but not as a destination operand. The names of the byte, word, and long registers available as operands and a brief description of each follow. The segment registers are also listed. Table 1-4 8-bit (byte) General Registers %al Low byte of %ax register %ah High byte of %ax register %cl Low byte of %cx register %ch High byte of %cx register %dl Low byte of %dx register %dh High byte of %dx register %bl Low byte of %bx register %bh High byte of %bx register Table 1-5 16-bit (word) General Registers %ax Low 16-bits of %eax register %cx Low 16-bits of %ecx register %dx Low 16-bits of %edx register %bx Low 16-bits of %ebx register %sp Low 16-bits of the stack pointer %bp Low 16-bits of the frame pointer %si Low 16-bits of the source index register %di Low 16-bits of the destination index register Assembler Input 11 1 Table 1-6 32-bit (long ) General Registers %eax 32-bit general register %ecx 32-bit general register %edx 32-bit general register %ebx 32-bit general register %esp 32-bit stack pointer %ebp 32-bit frame pointer %esi 32-bit source index register %edi 32-bit destination index register Table 1-7 Description of Segment Registers %cs Code segment register; all references to the instruction space use this register %ds Data segment register, the default segment register for most references to memory operands %ss Stack segment register, the default segment register for memory operands in the stack (i.e., default segment register for %bp, %sp, %esp, and %ebp) %es General-purpose segment register; some string instructions use this extra segment as their default segment %fs General-purpose segment register %gs General-purpose segment register Instruction Description This section describes the SunOS x86 instruction syntax. The assembler assumes it is generating code for a 32-bit segment, therefore, it also assumes a 32-bit address and automatically precedes word operations with a 16-bit data prefix byte. 12 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 Addressing Modes Addressing modes are represented by the following: [sreg:][offset][([base][,index][,scale])] • All the items in the square brackets are optional, but at least one is necessary. If you use any of the items inside the parentheses, the parentheses are mandatory. • sreg is a segment register override prefix. It may be any segment register. If a segment override prefix is present, you must follow it by a colon before the offset component of the address. sreg does not represent an address by itself. An address must contain an offset component. • offset is a displacement from a segment base. It may be absolute or relocatable. A label is an example of a relocatable offset. A number is an example of an absolute offset. • base and index can be any 32-bit register. scale is a multiplication factor for the index register field. Its value may be 1, 2, 4, 8 to indicate the number to multiply by. The multiplication then occurs by 1, 2, 4, and 8. Refer to Intel’s 80386 Programmer’s Reference Manual for more details on x86 addressing modes. Following are some examples of addresses: movl var, %eax Move the contents of memory location var into %eax. movl %cs:var, %eax Move the contents of the memory location var in the code segment into %eax. movl $var, %eax Move the address of var into %eax. movl array_base(%esi), %eax Add the address of memory location array_base to the contents of %esi to get an address in memory. Move the contents of this address into %eax. Assembler Input 13 1 movl (%ebx, %esi, 4), %eax Multiply the contents of %esi by 4 and add this to the contents of %ebx to produce a memory reference. Move the contents of this memory location into %eax. movl struct_base(%ebx, %esi, 4), %eax Multiply the contents of %esi by 4, add this to the contents of %ebx, and add this to the address of struct_base to produce an address. Move the contents of this address into %eax. Expressions and Immediate Values An immediate value is an expression preceded by a dollar sign: immediate: "$" expr Immediate values carry the absolute or relocatable attributes of their expression component. Immediate values cannot be used in an expression, and should be considered as another form of address, i.e., the immediate form of address. immediate: "$" expr "," "$" expr The first expr is 16 bits of segment. The second expr is 32 bits of offset. Pseudo Operations The pseudo-operations listed in this section are supported by the x86 assembler. General Pseudo Operations Below is a list of the pseudo operations supported by the assembler. This is followed by a separate listing of pseudo operations included for the benefit of the debuggers (dbx(1)). .align val The align pseudo op causes the next data generated to be aligned modulo val. val should be a positive integer value. 14 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 .bcd val The.bcd pseudo op generates a packed decimal (80-bit) value into the current section. This is not valid for the.bss section. val is a nonfloatingpoint constant. .bss The.bss pseudo op changes the current section to.bss. .bss tag, bytes Define symbol tag in the.bss section and add bytes to the value of dot for.bss. This does not change the current section to.bss. bytes must be a positive integer value. .byte val [, val] The.byte pseudo op generates initialized bytes into the current section. This is not valid for.bss. Each val must be an 8-bit value. .comm name, expr [, alignment] The.comm pseudo op allocates storage in the .data section. The storage is referenced by the symbol name, and has a size in bytes of expr. expr must be a positive integer. name cannot be predefined. If the alignment is given, the address of the name is aligned to a multiple of alignments. .data The data pseudo op changes the current section to .data. .double val The .double pseudo op generates an 80387 64 bit floating-point constant (IEEE 754) into the current section. Not valid in the .bss section. val is a floating-point constant. val is a string acceptable to atof(3); that is, an optional sign followed by a non-empty string of digits with optional decimal point and optional exponent. .even The .even pseudo op aligns the current program counter (.) to an even boundary. Assembler Input 15 1 .file "string" The .file op creates a symbol table entry where string is the symbol name and STT_FILE is the symbol table type. string specifies the name of the source file associated with the object file. .float val The .float pseudo op generates an 80387 32 bit floating-point constant (IEEE 754) into the current section. This is not valid in the .bss section. val is a floating-point constant. val is a string acceptable to atof(3); that is, an optional sign followed by a non-empty string of digits with optional decimal point and optional exponent. .globl symbol [, symbol]* The globl op declares each symbol in the list to be global; that is, each symbol is either defined externally or defined in the input file and accessible in other files; default bindings for the symbol are overridden. • A global symbol definition in one file satisfies an undefined reference to the same global symbol in another file. • Multiple definitions of a defined global symbol is not allowed. If a defined global symbol has more than one definition, an error occurs. Note – This pseudo-op by itself does not define the symbol. .ident “string” The .ident pseudo op creates an entry in the comment section containing string. string is any sequence of characters, not including the double quote ("). .lcomm name, expr The .lcomm pseudo op allocates storage in the .bss section. The storage is referenced by the symbol name, and has a size of expr. name cannot be predefined, and expr must be a positive integer type. If the alignment is given, the address of name is aligned to a multiple of alignment. 16 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 .local symbol [, symbol]* Declares each symbol in the list to be local; that is, each symbol is defined in the input file and not accessible in other files; default bindings for the symbol are overridden. These symbols take precedence over weak and global symbols. Because local symbols are not accessible to other files, local symbols of the same name may exist in multiple files. Note – This pseudo-op by itself does not define the symbol. .long val The .long pseudo op generates a long integer (32-bit, two’s complement value) into the current section. This pseudo op is not valid for the .bss section. val is a nonfloating-point constant. .nonvolatile Defines the end of a block of instruction. The instructions in the block may not be permuted. This pseudo-op has no effect if: • The block of instruction has been previously terminated by a Control Transfer Instruction (CTI) or a label • There is no preceding .volatile pseudo-op .section section_name [, attributes] Makes the specified section the current section. The assembler maintains a section stack which is manipulated by the section control directives. The current section is the section that is currently on top of the stack. This pseudo-op changes the top of the section stack. • • If section_name does not exist, a new section with the specified name and attributes is created. If section_name is a non-reserved section, attributes must be included the first time it is specified by the .section directive. .set name, expr The .set pseudo op sets the value of symbol name to expr. This is equivalent to an assignment. Assembler Input 17 1 .string “str” This pseudo op places the characters in str into the object module at the current location and terminates the string with a null. The string must be enclosed in double quotes (""). This pseudo op is not valid for the .bss section. .text The .text pseudo op defines the current section as .text. .value expr [,expr] The .value pseudo op is used to generate an initialized word (16-bit, two’s complement value) into the current section. This pseudo op is not valid in the .bss section. Each expr must be a 16-bit value. .version string The .version pseudo op puts the C compiler version number into the .comment section. .volatile Defines the beginning of a block of instruction. The instructions in the section may not be changed. The block of instruction should end at a .nonvolatile pseudo-op and should not contain any Control Transfer Instructions (CTI) or labels. The volatile block of instructions is terminated after the last instruction preceding a CTI or label. .weak symbol [, symbol] Declares each symbol in the list to be defined either externally, or in the input file and accessible to other files; default bindings of the symbol are overridden by this directive. • • • A weak symbol definition in one file satisfies an undefined reference to a global symbol of the same name in another file. Unresolved weak symbols have a default value of zero; the link editor does not resolve these symbols. If a weak symbol has the same name as a defined global symbol, the weak symbol is ignored and no error results. Note – This pseudo-op does not itself define the symbol. 18 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 1 symbol =expr Assigns the value of expr to symbol. Symbol Definition Pseudo Operations .def name The .def pseudo op starts a symbolic description for symbol name. See endef. name is a symbol name. .dim expr [,expr] The .dim pseudo op is used with the .def pseudo op. If the name of a .def is an array, the expressions give the dimensions; up to four dimensions are accepted. The type of each expression should be positive. .endef The .endef pseudo op is the ending bracket for a .def. .file name The .file pseudo op is the source file name. Only one is allowed per source file. This must be the first line in an assembly file. .line expr The .line pseudo op is used with the .def pseudo op. It defines the source line number of the definition of symbol name in the .def. expr should yield a positive value. .ln line [,addr] This pseudo op provides the relative source line number to the beginning of a function. It is used to pass information through to sdb. .scl expr The .scl pseudo op is used with the .def pseudo op. Within the .def it gives name the storage class of expr. The type of expr should be positive. Assembler Input 19 1 .size expr The .size pseudo op is used with the .def pseudo op. If the name of a .def is an object such as a structure or an array, this gives it a total size of expr. expr must be a positive integer. .stabs name type 0 desc value .stabn type 0 desc value The .stabs and .stabn pseudo ops are debugger directives generated by the C compiler when the -g option are used. name provides the symbol table name and type structure. type identifies the type of symbolic information (i.e., source file, global symbol, or source line). desc specifies the number of bytes occupied by a variable or type, or the nesting level for a scope symbol. value specifies an address or an offset. .tag str The .tag pseudo op is used in conjunction with a previously defined .def pseudo op. If the name of a .def is a structure or a union, str should be the name of that structure or union tag defined in a previous .def-.endef pair. .type expr The .type pseudo op is used within a .def-.endef pair. It gives name the C compiler type representation expr. .val expr The .val pseudo op is used with a .def-.endef pair. It gives name (in the .def) the value of expr. The type of expr determines the section for name. 20 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Instruction-Set Mapping This chapter describes the instruction set mappings for the SunOS x86 processor.

The operand-size is either 16 or 32 bits. An instruction that accesses 16-bit words or 32-bit longs has an operand-size attribute of either 16 or 32 bits. 22 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Notational Conventions The notational conventions used in the instructions included in this chapter are described below: • • The mnemonics are expressed in a regular expression-type syntax. When a group of letters is separated from other letters by a bar (|) within square brackets or curly braces, then the group of letters between the bars or between a bar and a closing bracket or brace is considered an atomic unit. For example, fld[lst] means fldl, flds, or fldt; fst{ls} means fst, fstl, or fsts; and fild{l|ll} means fild, fildl, or fildll. • • Square brackets ([]) denote choices, but at least one is required. • The vertical bar separates different suffixes for operators or operands. For example, the following indicates that an 8-, 16-, or 32-bit immediate value is permitted in an instruction: Alternatives enclosed within curly braces ({}) denote that you can use one or none of them imm[8|16|32] • The SunOS operators are built from the Intel operators by adding suffixes to them. The 80387, 80486 deals with three data types: integer, packed decimal, and real. The SunOS assembler is not typed; the operator has to carry with it the type of data item it is operating on. If the operation is on an integer, the following suffixes apply: none for Intel’s short(16 bits), l for Intel’s long (32 bits), and ll for Intel’s longlong(64 bits). If the operator applies to reals, then: s is short (32 bits), l is long (64 bits), and t is temporary real(80 bits). • reg[8|16|32] defines a general-purpose register, where each number indicates one of the following: 32: %eax, %ecx, %edx, %ebx, %esi, %edi, %ebp, %esp 16: %ax, %cx, %dx, %bx, %si, %di, %bp, %sp 8: %al, %ah, %cl, %ch, %dl, %dh, %bl, %bh Instruction-Set Mapping 23 2 • imm[8|16|32|48] — an immediate value. You define immediate values using the regular expression syntax previously described (see also Expressions and Immediate Values on page 210). If there is a choice between operand sizes, the assembler will choose the smallest representation. • mem[8|16|32|48|64|80] — a memory operand; the 8, 16, 32, 48, 64, and 80 suffixes represent byte, word, long (or float), inter-segment, double, and long double memory address quantities, respectively. • creg — a control register; the control registers are: %cr0, %cr2, %cr3, or %cr4. • r/m[8|16|32] is a general-purpose register or memory operand; the operand type is determined from the suffix. They are: 8 = byte, 16 = word, and 32 = long. The registers for each operand size are the same as reg[8|16|32] above. • dreg is a debug register; the debug registers are: %db0, %db1, %db2, %db3, %db6, %db7. • sreg is a segment register. The 16-bit segment registers are: %cs, %ds, %ss, %es, %fs, and %gs. • • • treg is a test register. The test registers are: %tr6 and %tr7. • Instruction syntax is: freg is floating-point registers %st (%st(0)), %st(1) - %st(7). An instruction can act on zero or more operands. An operand can be any of the following: • an immediate operand (in the instruction itself) • a register (32-bit genera, segment, or status/instruction register), (16-bit word register), and (8-bit byte register). • a pointer to a memory location. • an I/O port operand1 → operand2 where operand1 and operand2 are operated on and the result stored in operand2. The → arrow shows the direction. The direction is opposite of that described in the Intel Corporation i486 Microprocessor Programmer’s Reference Manual. 24 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 • disp[8|32] — the number of bits used to define the distance of a relative jump; because the assembler only supports a 32-bit address space, only 8-bit sign extended and 32-bit addresses are supported. • immPtr — an immediate pointer; when the immediate form of a long call or a long jump is used, the selector and offset are encoded as an immediate pointer. An immediate pointer consists of $imm16, $imm32 where the first immediate value represents the segment and the second represents the offset. • cc — condition codes; the 30 condition codes are: Table 2-1 Condition Codes a above ae above or equal b below be below or equal c carry e equal g greater ge greater than or equal to l less than le less than or equal to na not above nae not above or equal to nb not below nbe not below or equal to nc not carry ne not equal ng not greater than nge not greater than or equal to nl not less than nle not less than or equal to Instruction-Set Mapping 25 2 Table 2-1 Condition Codes (Continued) no not overflow np not parity ns not sign nz not zero o overflow p parity pe parity even po parity odd s sign z zero References This document presumes that you are familiar with the manner in which the Intel instruction sets function. For more information on specific instruction descriptions, please refer to the Intel Corporation i486 Microprocessor Programmer’s Reference Manual. Segment Register Instructions The following are the segment register instructions supported by the x86 processor. Load Full Pointer (lds,les, lfs, lgs, and lss) lds{wl} les{wl} lfs{wl} lgs{wl} lss{wl} mem[32|48], mem[32|48], mem[32|48], mem[32|48], mem[32|48], reg[16|32] reg[16|32] reg[16|32] reg[16|32] reg[16|32] Operation mem[32|48] → reg[16|32] 26 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description Reads a full pointer from memory and stores it in the specified segment register (DS, ES, FS, GS or SS) with a 16- or 32-bit offset value. Example Load a 16-bit pointer from memory location 0x44444444 into the DX register: ldsw 0x44444444, %dx Load a 32-bit pointer from memory location 0x33333333 into the EDX register: ldsl 0x33333333, %edx Pop Stack into Word (pop) pop{wl} pop{l} r/m[16|32] [%ds|%ss|%es|%fs|%gs] Operation stack → r/m[16|32] stack → segment register Description Replaces the previous contents of the register or memory operand with a word or long from the top of the stack. Replaces the previous contents of the segment register operand with a long. For a word, SP + 2; for a long, SP + 4. Instruction-Set Mapping 27 2 Example Replace the contents of the memory location pointed to by the EDI register, plus an offset of 4, with the word from the top of the stack: popw 4(edi) Replace the contents of the memory location pointed to by the EAX register with the long from the top of the stack: popl %eax Push Word/Long onto Stack (push) push{wl}r/m[16|32] push{wl}imm[8|16|32] push{l} [%cs|%ds|%ss|%es|%fs|%gs] Operation r/m[16|32] → stack segment register → stack Description For a word, SP - 2; for a long, SP - 4. Replaces the new top of stack, pointed to by SP, with the register, memory, immediate, or segment register operand. 28 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Example Replaces the new top of stack with the 16-bit immediate value, -126: pushw $-126 Replaces the new top of stack with the 32-bit immediate value, 23456789: pushl $23456789 Replaces the new top of stack with the content of the AX register: pushw %ax Replaces the new top of stack with the content of the EBX register: pushl %ebx I/O Instructions Input from Port (in, ins) in{bwl} in{bwl} imm8 (%dx) ins{bwl} Operation imm[8|16|32] → [AL|AX|EAX] DX → [AL|AX|EAX] DX → ES:(E)DI Instruction-Set Mapping 29 2 Description in transfers a byte, word, or long from the immediate port into the byte, word, or long memory address pointed to by the AL, AX, or EAX register, respectively. The second form of the in instruction transfers a byte, word, or long from a port (0 to 65535), specified in the DX register, into the byte, word, or long memory address pointed to by the AL, AX, or EAX register, respectively. When an 8-bit port is specified, the upper-eight bits of the port address will be 0. The ins instruction transfers a string from a port specified in the DX register to the memory byte or word pointed to by the ES:destination index. Load the desired port number into the DX register and the desired destination address into the DI or EDI index register before executing the ins instruction. After a transfer occurs, the destination-index register is automatically incremented or decremented as determined by the value of the direction flag (DF). The index register is incremented if DF = 0 (DF cleared by a cld instruction); it is decremented if DF = 1 (DF set by a std instruction). The increment or decrement count is 1 for a byte transfer, 2 for a word, and 4 for a long. Use the rep prefix with the ins instruction for a block transfer of CX bytes or words. Example Transfer an immediate 8-bit port address into the AL register: inb $0xff Transfer a 16-bit port address, specified in the DX register, into the AX register: inw (%dx) Transfer a string from the port address, specified in the DX register, into the ES:destination index register: insl 30 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Output from Port (out, outs) out{bwl} imm8 out{bwl} (%dx) outs{bwl} Operation [AL|AX|EAX] → imm[8|16|32] [AL|AX|EAX] → DX ES:(E)DI → DX Description Transfers a byte, word, or long from the memory address pointed to by the content of the AL, AX, or EAX register to the immediate 8-, 16-, or 32-bit port address. The second form of the out instruction transfers a byte, word, or long from the AL, AX, or EAX registers respectively to a port (0 to 65535), specified by the DX register. The outs instruction transfers a string from the memory byte or word pointed to by the ES:source index to the port addressed in the DX register. Load the desired port number into the DX register and the desired source address into the SI or ESI index register before executing the outs instruction. After a transfer occurs, the destination-index register is automatically incremented or decremented as determined by the value of the direction flag (DF). The index register is incremented if DF = 0 (DF cleared by a cld instruction); it is decremented if DF = 1 (DF set by a std instruction). The increment or decrement count is 1 for a byte transfer, 2 for a word, and 4 for a long. Use the rep prefix with the outs instruction for a block transfer of CX bytes or words. Instruction-Set Mapping 31 2 Example Transfer a word from the AX register into the 16-bit port address, 0xff: outw $0xff Transfer a long from the EAX register into the 32-bit port address specified by the DX register: outl (%dx) Transfer a string from the memory byte or word pointed to by the ES:source index to the port addressed in the DX register: outsl Flag Instructions Load Flags into AH Register (lahf) lahf Operation SF:ZF:xx:AF:xx:PF:xx:CF → AH Description Transfers the low byte of the flags word to the AH register. The bits (lsb to msb) are: sign, zero, indeterminate, auxiliary carry, indeterminate, parity, indeterminate, and carry. Example Transfer the flags word into the AH register: lahf 32 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Store AH into Flags (sahf) sahf Operation AH → SF:ZF:xx:AF:xx:PF:xx:CF Description Loads flags (sign, zero, indeterminate, auxiliary carry, indeterminate, parity, indeterminate, and carry) with values from the AH register. Example Load values from the AH register into the flags word: sahf Pop Stack into Flag (popf) popf{wl} Operation stack → flags register Description Pops the word or long from the top of the stack and stores the value in the flags register. Stores a word in FLAGS; stores a long in EFLAGS. Instruction-Set Mapping 33 2 Example Pops the word from the top of the stack and stores it in the flags register: popfw Pops the long from the top of the stack and stores it in the eflags register: popfl Push Flag Register Onto Stack (pushf) pushf{wl} Operation flags register → stack Description For a word, SP - 2 and copies FLAGS to the new top of stack pointed to by SP. For a long, SP - 4 and copies EFLAGS to the new top of stack pointed to by SS:eSP. Example Pushes the flags register onto the top of the stack: pushfw Pushes the eflags register onto the top of the stack: pushfl 34 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Complement Carry Flag (cmc) cmc Operation not CF → CF Description Reverses the setting of the carry flag; affects no other flags. Example Reverse the setting of the carry flag: cmc Clear Carry Flag (clc) clc Operation 0 → CF Description Sets the carry flag to zero; affects no other flags. Example Clear the carry flag: clc Instruction-Set Mapping 35 2 Set Carry Flag (stc) stc Operation 1 → CF Description Sets the carry flag to 1. Example Set the carry flag: stc Clear Interrupt Flag (cli) cli Operation 0 → IF Description Clears the interrupt flag if the current privilege level is at least as privileged as IOPL; affects no other flags. External interrupts disabled at the end of the cli instruction or from that point on until the interrupt flag is set. Example Clear the interrupt flag: cli 36 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Set Interrupt Flag (sti) sti Operation 1 → IF Description Sets the interrupt flag to 1. Example Set the interrupt flag: sti Clear Direction Flag (cld) cld Operation 0 → DF Description Clears the direction flag; affects no other flags or registers. Causes all subsequent string operations to increment the index registers, (E)SI and/or (E)DI, used during the operation. Example Clear the direction flag: cld Instruction-Set Mapping 37 2 Set Direction Flag (std) std Operation 1 → DF Description Sets the direction flag to 1, causing all subsequent string operations to decrement the index registers, (E)SI and/or (E)DI, used during the operation. Example Set the direction flag: std Arithmetic Logical Instructions Integer Addition (add) add{bwl} reg[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] add{bwl} r/m[8|16|32], reg[8|16|32] add{bwl} imm[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] Operation reg[8|16|32] + r/m[8|16|32] → r/m[8|16|32] r/m[8|16|32] + reg[8|16|32] → reg[8|16|32] imm[8|16|32] + r/m[8|16|32] → r/m[8|16|32] 38 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description Integer adds operand1 to operand2 and stores the result in operand2. When an immediate byte is added to a word or long, the immediate value is sign-extended to the size of the word or long operand. If you wish to decimal adjust (daa) or ASCII adjust (aaa) the add result, use the form of add that stores the result in AL. Example Integer adds the 8-bit constant, -126, to the content of the AL register: addb $-126,%al Integer adds the word contained in the effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4) to the content of the DX register: addw 4(%edi),%dx Integer adds the content of the EDX register to the effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4): addl %edx, 4(%edi) Integer Add With Carry (adc) adc{bwl} reg[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] adc{bwl} r/m[8|16|32], reg[8|16|32] adc{bwl} imm[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] Operation (reg[8|16|32] + CF) + r/m[8|16|32] → r/m[8|16|32] (r/m[8|16|32] + CF) + reg[8|16|32] → reg[8|16|32] (imm[8|16|32] + CF) + r/m[8|16|32] → r/m[8|16|32] Instruction-Set Mapping 39 2 Description Integer adds operand1 and the carry flag to operand2 and stores the result in operand2. adc is typically executed as part of a multi-byte or multi-word add operation. When an immediate byte is added to a word or long, the immediate value is sign-extended to the size of the word or long operand. Example Integer add the 8-bit content of the effective memory address (ESI register plus an offset of 1) and the carry flag to the content of the address in the CL register: adcb 1(%esi), %cl Integer add the 16-bit content of the effective memory address (EDI register plus an offset of 4) and the carry flag to the content of the address in the DX register: adcw 4(%edi), %dx Integer add the 32-bit content of the address in the EDX register and the carry flag to the effective memory address (EDI register plus an offset of 4): adcl %edx, 4(%edi) Integer Subtraction (sub) sub{bwl} reg[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] sub{bwl} r/m[8|16|32], reg[8|16|32] sub{bwl} imm[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] Operation r/m[8|16|32] − reg[8|16|32] → r/m[8|16|32] reg[8|16|32] − r/m[8|16|32] → reg[8|16|32] r/m[8|16|32] − imm[8|16|32] → r/m[8|16|32] 40 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description Subtracts operand1 from operand2 and stores the result in operand2. When an immediate byte value is subtracted from a word, the immediate value is sign-extended to the size of the word operand before the subtract operation is executed. If you wish to decimal adjust (das) or ASCII adjust (aas) the sub result, use the form of sub that stores the result in AL. Example Integer subtract the 8-bit constant, -126, from the content of the effective address (addressed by the ESI register plus an offset of 1): subb $-126, 1(%esi) Integer subtract the 16-bit constant, 1234, from the content of the effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4): subw $1234, 4(%edi) Integer subtract the 32-bit content of the EDX register from the effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4): subl %edx, 4(%edi) Integer Subtraction With Borrow (sbb) sbb{bwl} reg[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] sbb{bwl} r/m[8|16|32], reg[8|16|32] sbb{bwl} imm[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] Operation r/m[8|16|32] − (reg[8|16|32] + CF) → r/m[8|16|32] reg[8|16|32] − (r/m[8|16|32] + CF) → reg[8|16|32] r/m[8|16|32] − (imm[8|16|32] + CF) → r/m[8|16|32] Instruction-Set Mapping 41 2 Description Subtracts (operand1 and the carry flag) from operand2 and stores the result in operand2. When an immediate byte value is subtracted from a word, the immediate value is sign-extended to the size of the word operand before the subtract operation is executed. Example Integer subtract the 8-bit content of the CL register plus the carry flag from the effective address (addressed by the ESI register plus an offset of 1): sbbb %cl, 1(%esi) Integer subtract the 16-bit constant, -126, plus the carry flag from the AL register: sbbw $-126, %al Integer subtract the 32-bit constant, 12345678, plus the carry flag from the effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4): sbbl $12345678, 4(%edi) Compare Two Operands (cmp) cmp{bwl} reg[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] cmp{bwl} r/m[8|16|32], reg[8|16|32] cmp{bwl} imm[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] Operation r/m[8|16|32] − reg[8|16|32] reg[8|16|32] − r/m[8|16|32] r/m[8|16|32] − imm[8|16|32] 42 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description Subtracts operand1 from operand2, but does not store the result; only changes the flags. cmp is typically executed in conjunction with conditional jumps and the setcc instruction. If an operand greater than one byte is compared to an immediate byte, the immediate byte value is first signextended. Example Compare the 8-bit constant, 0xff, with the content of the AL register: cmpb $0xff, %al Compare the 16-bit content of the DX register with the effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4): cmpw %dx, 4(%edi) Compare the 32-bit content of the effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4) to the EDX register: cmpl 4(%edi), %edx Increment by 1 (inc) inc{bwl} r/m[8|16|32] Operation r/m[8|16|32] + 1 → r/m[8|16|32] Description Adds 1 to the operand and does not change the carry flag. Use the add instruction with an immediate value of 1 to change the carry flag,. Instruction-Set Mapping 43 2 Example Add 1 to the contents of the byte at the effective address (addressed by the ESI register plus an offset of 1): incb 1(%esi) Add 1 to the 16-bit contents of the AX register: incw %ax Add 1 to the 32-bit contents at the effective address (addressed by the EDI register): incl 4(%edi) Decrease by 1 (dec) dec{bwl}r/m[8|16|32] Operation r/m[8|16|32] − 1 → r/m[8|16|32] Description Subtracts 1 from the operand.

The second variation left shifts by a count value specified in the CL register. The high-order bit is shifted into the carry flag; the low-order bit is set to 0. sar right shifts (signed divides) a byte, word, or long value for a count specified by an immediate value and stores the quotient in that byte, word, or long respectively. The second variation right shifts by a count value specified in the CL register. sar rounds toward negative infinity; the highorder bit remains unchanged. shr right shifts (unsigned divides) a byte, word, or long value for a count specified by an immediate value and stores the quotient in that byte, word, or long respectively. The second variation divides by a count value specified in the CL register. shr sets the high-order bit to 0.

The least-significant digit is in AL; the most-significant in AH. aad prepares the AL and AH registers: AL + (AH × 10) → AL 0 → AH AX is then equal to the binary equivalent of the original unpacked two-digit BCD number. 68 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Example Adjust the AL and AH registers for a division operation by setting the AX register equal to the original unpacked two-digit number: aad Coprocessor Instructions Wait (wait, fwait) wait fwait Description wait — processor suspends instruction execution until the BUSY # pin is inactive (high). fwait — processor checks for pending unmasked numeric exceptions before proceeding. Example Suspend instruction execution until not BUSY and check for exceptions: wait String Instructions All Intel string op mnemonics default to long. Instruction-Set Mapping 69 2 Move Data from String to String (movs) movs{bwl} movs{bwl} m[8|16|32], reg[16|32] Operation move {bwl} [(E)SI] → ES: (E)DI] move {bwl} DS: [(E)SI] → ES: [(E)DI] Description Copies the byte, word, or long in [(E)SI] to the byte, word, or long in ES:[(E)DI}. Before executing the move instruction, load the index values into the SI source- and DI destination-index registers. The destination operand must be addressable from the ES register; it cannot span segments. A source operand, however, can span segments; the default is DS. After the data is moved, both the source- and destination-index registers are automatically incremented or decremented as determined by the value of the direction flag (DF). The index registers are incremented if DF = 0 (DF cleared by a cld instruction); they are decremented if DF = 1 (DF set by a std instruction). The increment/decrement count is 1 for a byte move, 2 for a word, and 4 for a long. For a block move of CX bytes or words, precede a movs instruction with a rep prefix. Example Copy the 8-bit byte from the DS:[(E)SI] to the ES:[(E)DI] register. movsb 70 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Compare String Operands (cmps) cmps{bwl} Operation compare DS:[(E)SI] with ES:[(E)DI] Description Compares the byte, word, or long in DS:[(E)SI] with the byte, word, or long in ES:[(E)DI}. Before executing the cmps instruction, load the index values into the SI source- and DI destination-index registers. cmps subtracts the operand indexed by the destination-index from the operand indexed by the source-index register. After the data is compared, both the source- and destination-index registers are automatically incremented or decremented as determined by the value of the direction flag (DF). The index registers are incremented if DF = 0 (DF cleared by a cld instruction); they are decremented if DF = 1 (DF set by a std instruction). The increment/decrement count is 1 for a byte move, 2 for a word, and 4 for a long. For a block compare of CX or ECX bytes, words or longs, precede a cmps instruction with a repz or repnz prefix. Instruction-Set Mapping 71 2 Example Compare the 8-bit byte in the DS:[(E)SI] register to the ES:[(E)DI] register. cmpsb Compare the 16-bit word in the DS:[(E)SI] register to the ES:[(E)DI] register. cmpsw Compare the 32-bit word in the DS:[(E)SI] register to the ES:[(E)DI] register. cmpsl Store String Data (stos) stos{bwl} Operation store [AL|AX|EAX] → ES:[(E)DI] Description Transfers the contents of the AL, AX, or EAX register to the memory byte or word addressed in the destination register relative to the ES segment. Before executing the move instruction, load the index values into the DI destination-index register. The destination operand must be addressable from the ES register; it cannot span segments. After the data is transferred, the destination-index register is automatically incremented or decremented as determined by the value of the direction flag (DF). The index registers are incremented if DF = 0 (DF cleared by a cld 72 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 instruction); they are decremented if DF = 1 (DF set by a std instruction). The increment/decrement count is 1 for a byte move, 2 for a word, and 4 for a long. For a block transfer of CX bytes, words or longs, precede a stos instruction with a rep prefix. Example Transfer the contents of the AL register to the memory byte addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment. stosb Transfer the contents of the AX register to the memory word addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment stosw Transfer the contents of the EAX register to the memory double-word addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment stosl The Load String Operand (lods) lods{bwl} Operation load ES:[(E)DI] → [AL|AX|EAX] Instruction-Set Mapping 73 2 Description Loads the memory byte or word addressed in the destination register into the AL, AX, or EAX register. Before executing the lods instruction, load the index values into the SI source-index register. After the data is loaded, the source-index register is automatically incremented or decremented as determined by the value of the direction flag (DF). The index register is incremented if DF = 0 (DF cleared by a cld instruction); it is decremented if DF = 1 (DF set by a std instruction). The increment/decrement count is 1 for a byte move, 2 for a word, and 4 for a long. For a block transfer of CX bytes, words or longs, precede a lods instruction with a rep prefix; however, lods is used more typically within a loop construct where further processing of the data moved into AL, AX, or EAX is usually required. Example Load the memory byte addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment register, into the AL register. lodsb Load the memory word addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment register, into the AX register. lodsw Load the memory double-word addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment register, into the EAX register. lodsl 74 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Compare String Data (scas) scas{bwl} Operation compare ES:[(E)DI] with [AL|AX|EAX] Description Compares the memory byte or word addressed in the destination register relative to the ES segment with the contents of the AL, AX, or EAX register. The result is discarded; only the flags are set. Before executing the scas instruction, load the index values into the DI destination-index register. The destination operand must be addressable from the ES register; it cannot span segments. After the data is transferred, the destination-index register is automatically incremented or decremented as determined by the value of the direction flag (DF). The index registers are incremented if DF = 0 (DF cleared by a cld instruction); they are decremented if DF = 1 (DF set by a std instruction). The increment/decrement count is 1 for a byte move, 2 for a word, and 4 for a long. For a block search of CX or ECX bytes, words or longs, precede a scas instruction with a repz or repnz prefix. Instruction-Set Mapping 75 2 Example Compare the memory byte addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment, with the contents of the AL register. scasb Compare the memory word addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment, with the contents of the AX register scasw Compare the memory byte double-word addressed in the destination register, relative to the ES segment, with the contents of the EAX register scasl Look-Up Translation Table (xlat) xlat Operation set AL to DS:[(E)BX + unsigned AL] Description Changes the AL register from the table index to the table entry. AL should be the unsigned index into a table addressed by DS:BX (16-bit address) or DS:EBX (32-bit address). Example Change the AL register from the table index to the table entry. xlat 76 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Repeat String Operation (rep, repnz, repz) rep repnz repz Operation repeat string-operation until tested-condition Description Use the rep (repeat while equal), repnz (repeat while nonzero) or repz (repeat while zero) prefixes in conjunction with string operations. Each prefix causes the associated string instruction to repeat until the count register (CX) or the zero flag (ZF) matches a tested condition. Example Repeat while equal: Copy the 8-bit byte from the DS:[(E)SI] to the ES:[(E)DI] register. rep movsb Repeat while not zero: Compare the memory byte double-word addressed in the destination register EDL, relative to the ES segment, with the contents of the EAX register. repnz scasl Repeat while zero:Transfer the contents of the EAX register to the memory double-word addressed in the destination register EDL, relative to the ES segment. repz stosl Instruction-Set Mapping 77 2 Procedure Call and Return Instructions Far Call — Procedure Call (lcall) lcall lcall immptr *mem48 Operation far call ptr16:{16|32} far call m16:{16|32} Description The lcall instruction calls intersegment (far) procedures using a full pointer. lcall causes the procedure named in the operand to be executed. When the called procedure completes, execution flow resumes at the instruction following the lcall instruction (see the return instruction). lcall ptr16:{16|32} uses a four-byte or six-byte operand as a long pointer to the called procedure. lcall m16:{16|32} fetches the long pointer from the specified memory location. In Real Address Mode or Virtual 8086 Mode, the long pointer provides 16 bits for the CS register and 16 or 32 bits for the EIP register. Both forms of the lcall instruction push the CS and IP or EIP registers as a return address. Example Use a four-byte operand as a long pointer to the called procedure. lcall $0xfebc, $0x12345678 Fetch a long pointer from the memory location addressed by the edx register, offset by 3. lcall *3(%edx) 78 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Near Call — Procedure Call (call) call call disp32 *r/m32 Operation near call rel{16|32} near call r/m{16|32} Description The call instruction calls near procedures using a full pointer. call causes the procedure named in the operand to be executed. When the called procedure completes, execution flow resumes at the instruction following the call instruction (see the return instruction). call rel{16|32} adds a signed offset to address of the instruction following the call instruction to determine the destination; that is, the displacement is relative to the next instruction. The displacement value is stored in the EIP register. For rel16, the upper 16 bits of EIP are cleared to zero resulting in an offset value that does not exceed 16 bits. call r/m{16|32} specifies a register or memory location from which the absolute segment offset is fetched. The offset of the instruction following the call instruction is pushed onto the stack. After the procedure completes, the offset is popped by a near ret instruction within the procedure. Both forms of the call instruction have no affect on the CS register. Example Program counter minus 0x11111111. call .-0x11111111 Add a signed offset value to the address of the next instruction. call *4(%edi) Instruction-Set Mapping 79 2 Return from Procedure (ret) ret ret imm16 Operation return to caller Description The ret instruction transfers control to the return address located on the stack. This address is usually placed on the stack by a call instruction. Issue the ret instruction within the called procedure to resume execution flow at the instruction following the call. The optional numeric (16- or 32-bit) parameter to ret specifies the number of stack bytes or words to be released after the return address is popped from the stack. Typically, these bytes or words are used as input parameters to the called procedure. For an intersegment (near) return, the address on the stack is a segment offset that is popped onto the instruction pointer. The CS register remains unchanged. Example Transfer control to the return address located on the stack. ret Transfer control to the return address located on the stack. Release the next 16-bytes of parameters. ret $-32767 80 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Long Return (lret) lret lret imm16 Operation return to caller Description The lret instruction transfers control to a return address located on the stack. This address is usually placed on the stack by an lcall instruction. Issue the lret instruction within the called procedure to resume execution flow at the instruction following the call. The optional numeric (16- or 32-bit) parameter to lret specifies the number of stack bytes or words to be released after the return address is popped from the stack. Typically, these bytes or words are used as input parameters to the called procedure. For an intersegment (far) return, the address on the stack is a long pointer. The offset is popped first, followed by the selector. In Real Mode, CS and IP are loaded directly. In Protected mode, an intersegment return causes the processor to check the descriptor addressed by the return selector. The AR byte of the descriptor must indicate a code segment of equal or lesser privilege (or greater or equal numeric value) than the current privilege level. Returns to a lesser privilege level cause the stack to be reloaded from the value saved beyond the parameter block. Instruction-Set Mapping 81 2 Example Transfer control to the return address located on the stack. lret Transfer control to the return address located on the stack. Release the next 16-bytes of parameters. lret $-32767 Enter/Make Stack Frame for Procedure Parameters (enter) enter imm16, imm8 Operation make stack frame for procedure parameters Description Create the stack frame required by most block-structured high-level languages. The imm16 operand specifies the number of bytes of dynamic storage allocated on the stack for the routine being entered. The imm8 operand specifies the lexical nesting level (0 to 31) of the routine within the high-level language source code. The nesting level determines the number of stack frame pointers copied into the new stack frame from the preceding frame. Example Create a stack frame with 0xfecd bytes of dynamic storage on the stack and a nesting level of 0xff. enter $0xfecd, $0xff 82 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 High Level Procedure Exit (leave) leave Operation set (E)SP to (E)BP, then pop (E)BP Description The leave instruction reverses the actions of an enter instruction. leave copies the frame pointer to the stack point and releases the stack space formerly used by a procedure for its local variables. leave pops the old frame pointer into (E)BP, thus restoring the caller’s frame. A subsequent ret nn instruction removes any arguments pushed onto the stack of the exiting procedure. Example Copy the frame pointer to the stack pointer and release the stack space. leave Jump Instructions Jump if ECX is Zero (jcxz) jcxz disp8 Operation jump to disp8 if (E)CX is 0 Instruction-Set Mapping 83 2 Description The jcxz instruction tests the contents of the CX or ECX register for 0. jcxz differs from other conditional jumps that it tests the flags, rather than (E)CX. jcxz is useful at the beginning of a loop that terminates with a conditional loop instruction; such as: loopne .-126 In this case, jcxz tests CX or ECX for 0 prior to entering the loop, thus executing 0 times: Example jcxz .-126 ... loopne .-126 Loop Control with CX Counter (loop, loopnz, loopz) loop disp8 loopnz loopne disp8 disp8 loopz loope disp8 disp8 Operation decrement count; jump to disp8 if count not equal 0 decrement count; jump to disp8 if count not equal 0 and ZF = 0 decrement count; jump to disp8 if count not equal 0 and ZF = 1 84 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description loop decrements the count register; the flags register remains unchanged. Conditions are checked for by the particular form of loop you used. If the conditions match, a short jump is made to the address specified by the disp8 operand. The range of the disp8 operand, relative to the current instruction, is +127 decimal bytes to -128 decimal bytes. loop instructions provide iteration control and combine loop index management with conditional branching. Prior to using the loop instruction, load the count register with an unsigned iteration count. Then, add the loop instruction at the end of a series of instructions to be iterated. The disp8 operand points to the beginning of the iterative loop. Example Decrement the count register and when the count is not equal to zero, jump short to the disp8 location. loopne .-126 Jump (jmp, ljmp) jmp disp{8|16|32} jmp *r/m{16|32} ljmpimmPtr ljmp*mem48 jcc disp{8|32} Operation jump short or near; displacement relative to next instruction jump far (intersegment; 4- or 6-byte immediate address jump if condition is met; displacement relative to next instruction Instruction-Set Mapping 85 2 Description The jmp instruction transfers execution control to a different point in the instruction stream; records no return information. Jumps with destinations of disp[8|16|32] or r/m[16|32] are near jumps and do not require changes to the segment register value. jmp rel{16|32} adds a signed offset to the address of the instruction following the jmp instruction to determine the destination; that is, the displacement is relative to the next instruction. The displacement value is stored in the EIP register. For rel16, the upper 16 bits of EIP are cleared to zero resulting in an offset value not to exceed 16 bits. ljmp ImmPtr or *mem48 use a four- or six-byte operand as a long pointer to the destination. In Real Address Mode or Virtual 8086 mode, the long pointer provides 16 bits for the CS register and 16 or 32 bits for the EIP register. In Protected mode, both long pointer forms consult the AR (Access Rights) byte of the descriptor indexed by the selector part of the long pointer. The jmp performs one of the following control transfers depending on the value of the AR byte: • A jump to a code segment at the same privilege level • A task switch Example Jump to the relative effective address (addressed by the EDI register plus an offset of 4): jmp *4(%edi) Long jump, use 0xfebc for the CS register and 0x12345678 for the EIP register: ljmp $0xfebc, $0x12345678 Jump if not equal: jne .+10 86 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Interrupt Instructions Call to Interrupt Procedure (int, into) int 3 int imm8 into Operation interrupt 3 — trap to debugger interrupt numbered by immediate byte interrupt 4 — if overflow flag is 1 Description The int instruction generates a software call to an interrupt handler. The imm8 (0 to 255) operand specifies an index number into the IDT (Interrupt Descriptor Table) of the interrupt routine to be called. In Protect Mode, the IDT consists of an array of 8-byte descriptors; the descriptor for the interrupt invoked must indicate an interrupt, trap, or task gate. In Real Instruction-Set Mapping 87 2 Address Mode, the IDT is an array of four byte-long pointers. In Protected and Real Address Modes, the base linear address of the IDT is defined by the contents of the IDTR. The into form of the int instruction implies interrupt 4. The interrupt occurs only if the overflow flag is set. The first 32 interrupts are reserved for system use. Some of these interrupts are used for internally generated exceptions. The int imm8 form of the interrupt instruction behaves like a far call except that the flags register is pushed onto the stack before the return address. Interrupt procedures return via the iret instruction, which pops the flags and return address from the stack. In Real Address Mode, the int imm8 pushes the flags, CS, and the return IP onto the stack, in that order, then jumps to the long pointer indexed by the interrupt number. Example Trap to debugger: int $3 Trap to interrupt 0xff: int $0xff Trap to interrupt 4: into 88 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Interrupt Return (iret) iret Operation return → routine Description In Real Address Mode, iret pops CS, the flags register, and the instruction pointer from the stack and resumes the routine that was interrupted. In Protected Mode, the setting of the nested task flag (NT) determines the action of iret. The IOPL flag register bits are changed when CPL equals 0 and the new flag image is popped from the stack. iret returns from an interrupt procedure without a task switch if NT equals 0. Returned code must be equally or less privileged than the interrupt routine as indicated CS selector RPL bits popped from the stack. If the returned code is less privileged, iret pops SS and the stack pointer from the stack. iret reverses the operation of an INT or CALL that caused the task switch if NT equals 1.The task executing iret is updated and saved in its task segment. The code that follows iret is executed if the task is re-entered. Example Resume the interrupted routine: iret Instruction-Set Mapping 89 2 Protection Model Instructions Store Local Descriptor Table Register (sldt) sldtr/m16 Operation LDTR → r/m[16] Description The Local Descriptor Table Register (LDTR) is stored by sldt as indicated by the effective address operand. LDTR is stored into the two-byte register or the memory location. sldt is not used in application programs. It is used only in operating systems. Example Store the LDTR in the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus and offset of 5): sldt 5(%ebx) Store Task Register (str) str r/m16 Operation STR → r/m(16 Description The contents of the task register is stored by sldt as indicated by the effective address operand. STR is stored into the two-byte register or the memory location. 90 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Example Store str in the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus an offset of 5): str 5(%ebx) Load Local Descriptor Table Register (lldt) lldt r/m16 Operation SELECTOR → LDTR Description LDTR is loaded by LLDT. The operand (word) contains a selector to a local GDT (Global Descriptor Table). The descriptor registers are not affected.The task state segment LDT field does not change. The LDTR is marked invalid if the selector operand is 0. A #GP fault is caused by all descriptor references (except LSL VERR, VERW, or LAR instructions). LLDT is not used in application programs. It is used in operating systems. Example Load the LLDT register from the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus and offset of 5): lldt 5(%ebx) Instruction-Set Mapping 91 2 Load Task Register (ltr) ltr r/m16 Operation r/m16 → Task Register Description The task register is loaded by LTR from the source register or memory location specified by the operand. The loaded task state segment is tagged busy. A task switch does not occur. Example Load the TASK register from the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus and offset of 5): ltr 5(%ebx) Verify a Segment for Reading or Writing (verr, verw) verr verw r/m16 r/m16 Operation 1 → ZF (if segment can be read or written) Description VERR and VERW contains the value of a selector in the two-byte register or memory operand. VERR and VERW determine if the indicated segment can be reached in the current privilege level and whether it is readable (VERR) or writable (VERW). If the segment can be accessed, the zero flag (ZF) is set to 1, otherwise the zero flag is set to 0. For the zero flag to be set these conditions must be met: • The selector denotes a descriptor; the selector is “defined”. 92 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 • The selector is a code or data segment; not a task statement, LDT or a gate. • For VERR, the segment must be readable, for VERW, writable. • The descriptor privilege level (DPL) can be any value for VERR. otherwise the DPL must have the same or less privilege as the current level and the DPL of the selector. Validation is performed as if the segment were loaded into DS, ES, FS, or GS and the indicated write or read performed. The validation results are indicated by the zero flag. The value of the selector cannot result in an exception. Example Determine if the segment indicated by the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus an offset of 5) can be reached in the current privilege level and whether it is readable (VERR): verr 5(%ebx) Store Global/Interrupt Descriptor Table Register (sgdt, sidt) sgdt sidt mem48 mem48 Operation DTR → mem48 Description The contents of the descriptor table register is copied by sgdt/sidt to the six bytes of memory specified by the operand. The first word at the effective address is assigned the LIMIT field of the register. If the operand-size attribute is 32-bits: • The base field of the register is assigned to the next three bytes. • The fourth byte is written as zero. Instruction-Set Mapping 93 2 • The last byte is undefined. If the operand-size attribute is 16-bits, the 32-bit BASEfield of the register is assigned to the next four bytes. sgdt/sldt are not used in application programs, they are used in operating systems. Example Copy the contents of the Global Descriptor Table Register to the specified memory location: sgdt 0x55555555 Copy the contents of the Interrupt Descriptor Table Register to the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus an offset of 5): sidt 5 (%ebx) Load Global/Interrupt Descriptor Table (lgdt, lidt) lgdt lidt mem48 mem48 Operation MEM48 → GDTR MEM48 → IDTR Description The GDTR and IDTR are loaded with a linear base address and limit value from a six-byte operand in memory by the lgdt/lidt instructions. For a 16-bit operand: • Load the register with a 16-bit limit and a 24-bit base. 94 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 • The six-byte data operand high-order eight bits are not used. For a 32-bit operand: • Load the register with a 16-bit limit and a 32-bit base. • The six-byte data operand high-order eight bits are used as the high-order base address bits. All 48-bits of the six-byte data operand are always stored into by the sgdt/sidt instructions. For a 16-bit and a 32-bit operand, the upper eightbits are written with the high-order eight address bits. lgdt or lidt, when used with a 16-bit operand to load the register stored by sgdt or sidt, stores the upper eight-bits as zeros. lgdt and lidt are not used in application programs; they are used in operation system. lgdt and lidt are the only instructions that load a linear address directly in 80386 Protected Mode. Example Load the Global/Interrupt Descriptor Table Register from memory address 0x55555555: lgdt 0x55555555 lidt 0x55555555 Store Machine Status Word (smsw) smsw r/m16 Operation MSW → r/m16 Description The machine status word is stored by smsw in the two-byte register of memory location pointed to by the effective address operand. 80386 machines should use MOV ..., CR0. Instruction-Set Mapping 95 2 Example Store the machine status word in the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus an offset of 5): smsw 5(%ebx) Load Machine Status Word (lmsw) lmsw r/m16 Operation r/m16 → MSW Description The machine status word (part of CR0) is loaded by lmsw from the source operand. lmsw can be used to switch to Protected Mode if followed by an intersegment jump to clear the instruction queue. lmsw cannot switch back to Real Address Mode. lmsw is not used in application programs. It is used in operating systems. Example Load the machine status word from the contents of the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus an offset of 5): lmsw 5(%ebx) Load Access Rights (lar) lar r/m32, reg32 Operation r/m16 (masked by FF00) → r16 r/m32 (masked by 00FxFF00) → r32 96 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description If the selector is visible at the CPL (modified by the RPL) and is a valid descriptor type, lar stores a form of the second doubleword of the descriptor for the source selector. The designated register is loaded with the double-word (high-order) of the descriptor masked by 00FxFF00, and the zero flag is set to 1. The x in 00Fx ... indicates that these four bits loaded by lar are undefined. The zero flag is cleared if the selector is invisible or of the wrong type. The 32-bit value is stored in the 32-bit destination register if the 32-bit operand size is specified. If the 16-bit operand size is specified, the lower 16bits of this value are stored in the 16-bit destination register. For lar, all data segment descriptors and code are valid. Example Load access rights from the contents of the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus an offset of 5) into the EDX register: lar 5(%ebx) %edx Load Segment Limit (lsl) lsl r/m32, reg32 Operation Selector Selector Selector Selector rm16 rm32 rm16 rm32 (byte) → r16 (byte) → r32 (page) → r16 (page) → r32 Instruction-Set Mapping 97 2 Description lsl loads a register with a segment limit (unscrambled). The descriptor type must be accepted by lsl, and the source selector must be visible at the CPL weakened by RPL. ZF is then set to 1. Otherwise, ZF is set to 0 and the destination register is unchanged. The segment limit is loaded as a byte value. A page value limit in the descriptor is translated by lsl to a byte limit before lsl loads it in the destination register (the 20-bit limit from the descriptor is shifted left 12 and OR’d with 00000FFFH). lsl stores the 32-bit granular limit in the 16-bit destination register. For lsl, code and data segment descriptors are valid. Example Load a segment limit from the contents of the effective address (addressed by the EBX register plus an offset of 5) into the EDX register. lsl 5(%ebx), %edx Clear Task-Switched (clts) clts Operation 0 → TS Flag in CR0 Description The task-switched flag in register CR0 is cleared by clta. The TS Flag is set by the 80386 for each task switch. The TS Flag is used as follows: • If the TS Flag is set, each execution of the ESC instruction is trapped. 98 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 • If the TS Flag and the MP Flag are both set, execution of a Wait instruction is trapped. If a task switch is made after an ESC instruction is started, save the processor extension context before a new ESC instruction can be run. The fault handler resets the TS Flag and saves the context. clts is not used in application program, it is used in operating systems. clts can only be executed at privilege level 0. Example Clear the TS flag: clts Adjust RPL Field of Selector (arpl) arplr16, r/m16 Operation If RPL 1 < RPL 2, 1 → ZF Description arpl has two operands. The first operand is a 16-bit word register or memory variable that contains the value of a selector. The second operand is a word register. If the RPL field of the second operand is greater than the RPL field of the first operand, ZF is set to 1 and the RPL field of the first operand is increased to match the RPL field of the second operand. Otherwise, no change is made to the first operand and the ZF is set to 0. arpl is not used in application programs, it is used in operating systems. arpl guarantees that a selector to a subroutine does not request a privilege greater than allowed. Normally, the second operand of arpl is a register that contains the CS selector value of the caller.

The specified register determines the operand-size attribute if the instruction. The USE attribute of the segment containing the second operand determines the address-size attribute. Example leal 0x33333333, %edx 108 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Move (mov) mov{bwl}imm[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] mov{bwl}reg[8|16|32], r/m[8|16|32] mov{bwl}r/m[8|16|32], reg[8|16|32] Operation SRC → DEST Description mov stores or loads the following special registers in or from a general purpose register. • Control registers CR0, CR2, and CR3 • Debug registers DR0, DR1, DR2, DR3, DR6, and DR7 • Test registers TR6 and TR7 These instructions always use 32-bit operands. Example movl movl movl movl movl movl %cr3, %db7, %ebp, %ebp, %tr7, %ebp, %ebp %ebp %cr3 %db7 %ebp %tr7 Move Segment Registers (movw) movwsreg,r/m16 movwr/m16, sreg Operation r/m16 → Sreg Sreg → r/m16 Instruction-Set Mapping 109 2 Description movw copies the first operand to the second operand, including data from a descriptor. The descriptor table entry for the selector contains the data for the register. The DS and ES registers can be loaded with a null selector without causing an exception. Use of DS or ES however, causes a #GP(0), and no memory reference occurs. All interrupts are inhibited until after the execution of the next instruction, after a movw into SS. Special actions and checks result from loading a segment register under Protected Mode. Example movw %CS, 5(%ebx) movw %(%ebx), %CS Move Control Registers (mov) mov{l}creg, reg32 mov{l}reg32, creg Operation SRC → DEST Description This form of mov stores or loads the Control Register CR0, CR2, or CR4 to or from a general purpose register. These instructions are always used with 32-bit operands. Example movl %cr3, %ebp movl %ebp, %cr3 110 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Move Debug Registers (mov) mov{l}dreg, reg32 mov{l}reg32, dreg Operation SRC → DEST Description This form of mov stores or loads the Debug Register DR1, DR2, or DR3, DR6, and DR7 to or from a general purpose register.

The result is stored in the destination register by movsx. Example movsxbl 1(%esi), %edx movsxwl 5(%ebx), %edx Move With Zero Extend (movzb) movzb[wl]r/m8, reg[16|32] movzwl r/m16, reg32 Operation SignExtend(SRC) → DEST 112 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description movzx reads the contents of the register or effective address as a word or byte. movzx then sign-extends the 16- or 32-bit value to the operand-size attribute of the instruction. The result is stored in the destination register by movzx. Example Pop Instructions Pop All General Registers (popa) popa{wl} Operation POP → r16 POP → r32 Description The eight 16-bit general registers are popped by popa. However, the SP value is not loaded into SP, It is discarded. popa restores the general registers to their values before a previous pusha was executed. DI is the first register popped. The eight 32-bit registers are popped by popad. However, the ESP value is not loaded into ESP, it is discarded. popad restores the general registers to their values before a previous pushad was executed. EDI is the first register popped. Example popal Instruction-Set Mapping 113 2 Push Instructions Push All General Registers (pusha) pusha{wl} Operation SP → r16 SP → r32 Description The 16-bit or 32-bit general registers are saved by pusha and pushad, respectively. The stack pointer is decremented by 16 by pusha to hold the eight word values. The stack pointer is decremented by 32 by pushad to hold the eight doubleword values. The registers are pushed onto the stack in the order received; the stack bytes appear in reverse order. DI or EDI is the last stack pushed. Example pushal Rotate Instructions Rotate With Carry Left (rcl) rcl{bwl}imm8, r/m[8|16|32] rcl{bwl}%cl, r/m[8|16|32] Operation r/m high-order bit → CF CF → r/m low-order bit r/m → ShiftLeft 114 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Description The left rotate instruction shifts all bits in the register or memory operand specified. The carry flag (CF) is included in the rotation. The most significant bit is rotated to the carry flag, the carry flag is rotated to the least significant bit position, all other bits are shifted to the left. The result includes the original value of the carry flag. The first operand value indicates how many times the rotate takes place. The value is either the contents of the CL register or an immediate number. For a single rotate, where the first operand is one, the overflow flag (OF) is defined. For all other cases, OF is undefined. After the shift, the carry flag bit is XORed with the most significant result bit.

During the exchange, BUS LOCK is asserted (regardless of the value of IOPL or the LOCK prefix) if a memory operand is part of the exchange. Example xchgb xchgl xchgl xchgl xchgl xchgl xchgl xchgl xchgl %cl, 1(%esi) /*exchange byte register with EA byte */ %ebp, %eax %ebx, %eax %ecx, %eax %edi, %eax %edx, %eax %edx, 4(%edi) /*exchange word register with EA word */ %esi, %eax %esp, %eax Miscellaneous Instructions Write Back and Invalidate Cache (wbinvd) [486 only] wbinvd Example Write back and invalidate the cache. wbinvd Instruction-Set Mapping 121 2 Invalidate (invd) [486 only] invd Example Invalidate the entire cache. invd Invalidate Page (invlpg) [486 only] invlpgmem32 Example Invalidate a single entry in the translation lookaside buffer. invlpg 5(%ebx) LOCK Prefix (lock) lock Operation LOCK# → NEXT Instruction Description The LOCK # signal is asserted during execution of the instruction following the lock prefix. This signal can be used in a multiprocessor system to ensure exclusive use of shared memory while LOCK # is asserted. The bts instruction is the read-modify-write sequence used to implement test-andrun. 122 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 The lock prefix works only with the instructions listed here. If a lock prefix is used with any other instructions, an undefined opcode trap is generated. bt, bts, btr, btc xchg xchg add, or, adc, sbb, and, sub, xor not, neg, inc, dec m, r, m, m, m r/imm m r r/imm Memory field alignment does not affect the integrity of lock. If a different 80386 processor is concurrently executing an instruction that has a characteristic listed here, locked access is not guaranteed. The previous instruction: • Does not follow a lock prefix • Is not on the previous list of acceptable instructions • A memory operand specified has a partial overlap with the destination operand. Example lock No Operation (nop) nop Operation NO OPERATION Description No operations are performed by nop. The xchgl %eax, %eax instruction is an alias for the nop instruction. Instruction-Set Mapping 123 2 Example nop Halt (hlt) hlt Address Prefix addr16 Data Prefix data16 Operation HLT → ENTER HALT STATE Description halt puts the 80386 in a HALT state by stopping instruction execution. Execution is resumed by an nmi or an enabled interrupt. After a halt, if an interrupt is used to continue execution, the saved CS:EIP or CS:IP value points to the next instruction (after the halt). The halt instruction is privileged. Example hlt 124 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 2 Real Transfer Instructions Load Real (fld) fld{lst} Operation SRC → STACK ELEMENT 0 Description The source operand is pushed onto the stack by fld.

The fully detailed definition of ELF appears in the System V Application Binary Interface and the Intel 386 Processor Supplement. This chapter is organized as follows: Introduction page 151 Object Files in Executable and Linking Format (ELF) page 152 Introduction The main output produced by assembling an input assembly language source file is the translation of that file into an object file in (ELF). ELF files produced by the assembler are relocatable files that hold code and/or data. They are input files for the linker. The linker combines these relocatable files with other ELF object files to create an executable file or a shared object file in the next stage of program building, after translation from source files into object files. The three main kinds of ELF files are relocatable, executable and shared object files. The assembler can also produce ancillary output incidental to the translation process. For example, if the assembler is invoked with the -V option, it can write information to standard output and to standard error. 151 3 The assembler also creates a default output file when standard input or multiple input files are used. Ancillary output has little direct connection to the translation process, so it is not properly a subject for this manual. Information about such output appears in as(1) manual page. Certain assembly language statements are directives to the assembler regarding the organization or content of the object file to be generated. Therefore, they have a direct effect on the translation performed by the assembler. To understand these directives, described in Chapter 2, “InstructionSet Mapping“, it is helpful to have some working knowledge of ELF, at least for relocatable files. Object Files in Executable and Linking Format (ELF) Relocatable ELF files produced by the assembler consist of: • • • An ELF header A section header table Sections The ELF header is always the first part of an ELF file. It is a structure of fixed size and format. The fields, or members, of the structure describe the nature, organization and contents of the rest of the file. The ELF header has a field that specifies the location within the file where the section header table begins. The section header table is an array of section headers that are structures of fixed size and format. The section headers are the elements of the array, or the entries in the table. The section header table has one entry for each section in the ELF file. However, the table can also have entries (section headers) that do not correspond to any section in the file. Such entries and their array indices are reserved. The members of each section header constitute information useful to the linker about the contents of the corresponding section, if any. All of a relocatable file’s information that does not lie within its ELF header or its section header table lies within its sections. Sections contain most of the information needed to combine relocatable files with other ELF files to produce shared object files or executable files. Sections also contain the material to be combined. For example, sections can hold: • • • 152 Relocation tables Symbol tables String tables x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 3 Each section in an ELF file fills a contiguous (possibly empty) sequence of that file’s bytes. Sections never overlap. However, the (set theoretic) union of a relocatable ELF header, the section header table, and all the sections can omit some of the bytes. Bytes of a relocatable file that are not in the ELF header, or in the section header table, or in any of the sections constitute the inactive space. The contents of a file’s inactive space, if any, are unspecified. ELF Header The ELF header is always located at the beginning of the ELF file. It describes the ELF file organization and contains the actual sizes of the object file control structures. The ELF header consists of the following fields, or members, some have the value 0 for relocatable files: e_ident This is a byte array consisting of the EI_NIDENT initial bytes of the ELF header, where EI_NIDENT is a name for 16. The elements of this array mark the file as an ELF object file and provide machine-independent data that can be used to decode and interpret the file’s contents. e_type Identifies the object file type. A value of 1, that has the name ET_REL, specifies a relocatable file. Table 3-1 describes all the object file types. e_machine Specifies the required architecture for an individual file. A value of 3, that has the name EM_386, specifies Intel 80386. EM_486, specifies Intel 80486. e_version Identifies the version of this object file’s format. This field should have the current version number, named EV_CURRENT. e_entry Virtual address where the process is to start. A value of 0 indicates no associated entry point. Assembler Output 153 3 e_phoff Program header table’s file offset, in bytes. The value of 0 indicates no program header. (Relocatable files do not need a program header table.) e_shoff Section header table’s file offset, in bytes. The value of 0 indicates no section header table. (Relocatable files must have a section header table.) e_flag Processor-specific flags associated with the file. For the Intel 80386, this field has value 0. e_ehsize ELF header’s size, in bytes. e_phentsize Size, in bytes, of entries in the program header table. All entries are the same size. (Relocatable files do not need a program header table.) e_phnum Number of entries in program header table. A value of 0 indicates the file has no program header table. (Relocatable files do not need a program header table.) e_shentsize Size, in bytes, of the section header structure. A section header is one entry in the section header table; all entries are the same size. e_shnum Number of entries in section header table. A value of 0 indicates the file has no section header table. (Relocatable files must have a section header table.) 154 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 3 e_shstrndx Section header table index of the entry associated with the section name string table. A value of SHN_UNDEF indicates the file does not have a section name string table. Table 3-1 Object File Types Type Value Description none 0 No file type rel 1 Relocatable file exec 2 Executable file dyn 3 Shared object file core 4 Core file loproc 0xff00 Processor-specific hiproc 0xffff Processor-specific Section Header The section header table has all of the information necessary to locate and isolate each of the file’s sections. A section header entry in a section header table contains information characterizing the contents of the corresponding section, if the file has such a section. Each entry in the section header table is a section header. A section header is a structure of fixed size and format, consisting of the following fields, or members: sh_name Specifies the section name. The value of this field is an index into the section header string table section, wherein it indicates the beginning of a nullterminated string that names the section. sh_type Categorizes the section’s contents and semantics. Table 3-3 describes the section types. Assembler Output 155 3 sh_flags One-bit descriptions of section attributes. Table 3-2 describes the section attribute flags. sh_addr Address where the first byte resides if the section appears in the memory image of a process; a value of 0 indicates the section does not appear in the memory image of a process. sh_offset Specifies the byte offset from the beginning of the file to the first byte in the section. Note – If the section type is SHT_NOBITS, the corresponding section occupies no space in the file. In this case, sh_offset specifies the location at which the section would have begun if it did occupy space within the file. sh_size Specifies the size, in byte units, of the section. Note – Even if the section type is SHT_NOBITS, sh_size can be nonzero; however, the corresponding section still occupies no space in the file. sh_link Section header table index link. The interpretation of this information depends on the section type, as described in Table 3-3. sh_info Extra information. The interpretation of this information depends on the section type, as described in Table 3-3. sh_addralign If a section has an address alignment constraint, the value in this field is the modulus, in byte units, by which the value of sh_addr must be congruent to 0; i.e., sh_addr = 0 (mod sh_addralign). 156 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 3 For example, if a section contains a long (32 bits), the entire section must be ensured long alignment, so sh_addralign has the value 4. Only 0 and positive integral powers of 2 are currently allowed as values for this field. A value of 0 or 1 indicates no address alignment constraints. sh_entsize Size, in byte units, for entries in a section that is a table of fixed-size entries, such as a symbol table. Has the value 0 if the section is not a table of fixedsize entries Table 3-2 Section Attribute Flags Flag Default Value Description SHF_WRITE 0x1 Contains data that is writable during process execution. SHF_ALLOC 0x2 Occupies memory during process execution. This attribute is off if a control section does not reside in the memory image of the object file. SHF_EXECINSTR 0x4 Contains executable machine instructions. SHF_MASKPROC 0xf0000000 Reserved for processor-specific semantics. Table 3-3 Section Types Interpretation by Name Value Description sh_info sh_link SHT_NULL 0 Marks section header as inactive; file has no corresponding section. 0 SHN_UNDEF SHT_PROGBITS 1 Contains information defined by the program, and in a format and with a meaning determined solely by the program. 0 SHN_UNDEF SHT_SYMTAB 2 Is a complete symbol table, usually for link editing. This table can also be used for dynamic linking; however, it can contain many unnecessary symbols. Note: Only one section of this type is allowed in a file One greater than the symbol table index of the last local symbol. The section header index of the associated string table. Assembler Output 157 3 Table 3-3 Section Types (Continued) Interpretation by Name Value Description sh_info sh_link SHT_STRTAB 3 Is a string table. A file can have multiple string table sections. 0 SHN_UNDEF SHT_RELA 4 Contains relocation entries with explicit addends. A file can have multiple relocation sections. The section header index of the section to where the relocation applies. The section header index of the associated symbol table. SHT_HASH 5 Is a symbol rehash table. Note: Only one section of this type is allowed in a file 0 The section header index of the symbol table to which the hash table applies. SHT_DYNAMIC 6 Contains dynamic linking information. Note: Only one section of this type is allowed in a file 0 The section header index of the string table used by entries in the section. SHT_NOTE 7 Contains information that marks the file. 0 SHN_UNDEF SHT_NOBITS 8 Contains information defined by the program, and in a format and with a meaning determined by the program. However, a section of this type occupies no space in the file, but the section header’s offset field specifies the location at which the section would have begun if it did occupy space within the file. 0 SHN_UNDEF SHT_REL 9 Contains relocation entries without explicit addends. A file can have multiple relocation sections. The section header index of the section to where the relocation applies. The section header index of the associated symbol table.

Note: Section types in this range can be used by an application without conflicting with system-defined section types. 0 SHN_UNDEF Note – Some section header table indices are reserved, and the object file does not contain sections for these special indices. Sections A section is the smallest unit of an object file that can be relocated. Sections containing the following material usually appear in relocatable ELF files: • • • • Executable text Read-only data Read-write data Read-write uninitialized data (only section header appears) Sections do not need to occur in any particular order within the object file. The sections of a relocatable ELF file contain all of the file information that is not contained in the ELF header or in the section header table. The sections in any ELF file must satisfy several conditions: Assembler Output 159 3 1. Every section in the file must have one section header entry in the section header table to describe the section. However, the section header table can have section header entries that correspond to no section in the file. 2. Each section occupies one contiguous sequence of bytes within a file. The section can be empty (even so, its section header entry in the section header table can have a nonzero value for the field sh_size). 3. A byte in a file can reside in at most one section. Sections in a file cannot overlap. 4. An object file can have inactive space. Inactive space is the set of all bytes in the file that are not part of the ELF header, the section header table, the program header table (for executable files), or of any section in the file. The contents of the inactive space are unspecified. Sections can be added for multiple text or data segments, shared data, userdefined sections, or information in the object file for debugging. Note – Not all of the sections where there are entries in the file section header table need to be present. Predefined Sections Sections having certain names beginning with "." (dot) are predefined, with their types and attributes already assigned. These special sections are of two kinds: predefined user sections and predefined nonuser sections. Predefined User Sections Sections that an assembly language programmer can manipulate by issuing section control directives in the source file are user sections. The predefined user sections are those predefined sections that are also user sections. 160 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 3 Table 3-4 lists the names of the predefined user sections and briefly describes each. Table 3-4 Predefined User Sections Section Name Description ".bss" Uninitialized read-write data. ".comment" Version control information. ".data" & ".data1" Initialized read-write data. ".debug" Debugging information. ".fini" Runtime finalization instructions. ".init" Runtime initialization instructions. ".rodata" & ".rodata1" Read-only data. ".text" Executable instructions. ".line" Line # info for symbolic debugging. ".note" Special information from vendors or system builders. Predefined Non-User Sections Table 3-5 shows the predefined sections that are not user sections, because assembly language programmers cannot manipulate them by issuing section control directives in the source file. Table 3-5 Predefined Non-User Sections Section Name Description ".dynamic" Dynamic linking information. ".dynstr" Strings needed for dynamic linking. ".dynsym" Dynamic linking symbol table. ".got" Global offset table. Assembler Output 161 3 Table 3-5 Predefined Non-User Sections (Continued) Section Name Description ".hash" A symbol hash table. ".interp" The path name of a program interpreter. ".plt" The procedure linking table. "relname" & ".relaname" Relocation information. name is the section to which the relocations apply. e.g., ".rel.text", ".rela.text". ".shstrtab" String table for the section header table names. ".strtab" The string table. ".symtab" The symbol table. Relocation Tables Locations represent addresses in memory if a section is allocatable; that is, its contents are to be placed in memory at program runtime. Symbolic references to these locations must be changed to addresses by the link editor. The assembler produces a companion relocation table for each relocatable section. The table contains a list of relocations (that is, adjustments to locations in the section) to be performed by the link editor. Symbol Tables The symbol table contains information to locate and relocate symbolic definitions and references. The assembler creates the symbol table section for the object file. It makes an entry in the symbol table for each symbol that is defined or referenced in the input file and is needed during linking. The symbol table is then used by the link editor during relocation. The symbol table’s section header contains the symbol table index for the first non-local symbol. The symbol table contains the following information: 162 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 3 st_name Index into the object file symbol string table. A value of zero indicates the corresponding entry in the symbol table has no name; otherwise, the value represents the string table index that gives the symbol name. st_value Value of the associated symbol. This value is dependent on the context; for example, it can be an address, or it can be an absolute value. st_size Size of symbol. A value of 0 indicates that the symbol has either no size or an unknown size. st_info Specifies the symbol type and binding attributes. Table 3-6 andTable 3-7 describe the symbol types and binding attributes. st_other Undefined meaning. Current value is 0. st_shndx Contains the section header table index to another relevant section, if specified. As a section moves during relocation, references to the symbol continue to point to the same location because the value of the symbol changes as well. Assembler Output 163 3 Table 3-6 Symbol Types Value Type Description 0 notype Type not specified. 1 object Symbol is associated with a data object; for example, a variable or an array. 2 func Symbol is associated with a function or other executable code. When another object file references a function from a shared object, the link editor automatically creates a procedure linkage table entry for the referenced symbol. 3 section Symbol is associated with a section. These types of symbols are primarily used for relocation. 4 file Gives the name of the source file associated with the object file. 13 15 loproc hiproc Values reserved for processor-specific semantics. Table 3-7 Symbol Bindings Value Binding Description 0 local Symbol is defined in the object file and not accessible in other files. Local symbols of the same name can exist in multiple files. 1 global Symbol is either defined externally or defined in the object file and accessible in other files. 2 weak Symbol is either defined externally or defined in the object file and accessible in other files; however, these definitions have a lower precedence than globally defined symbols. 13 15 loproc hiproc Values reserved for processor-specific semantics. String Tables A string table is a section which contains null-terminated variable-length character sequences, or strings. The object file uses these strings to represent symbol names and file names. The strings are referenced by indices into the string table section. The first and last bytes of a string table must be the null character. • 164 A string table index can refer to any byte in the section. x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 3 • Empty string table sections are permitted if zero is the value of sh_size in the section header entry for the string table in the section header table. A string can appear multiple times and can also be referenced multiple times. References to substrings can exist, and unreferenced strings are allowed. Assembler Output 165 3 166 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 Using the Assembler Command Line A This chapter describes how to invoke the assembler and use the command-line options. This chapter is organized as follows: Assembler Command Line page 167 Assembler Command Line Options page 168 Disassembling Object Code page 169 Assembler Command Line Invoke the assembler command line as follows: as [options] [inputfile] ... Note – The language drivers (such as cc and f77) invoke the assembler command line with the fbe command. You can use either the as or fbe command to invoke the assembler command line. 167 A The as command translates the assembly language source files, inputfile, into an executable object file, objfile. The Intel assembler recognizes the file name argument hyphen (-) as the standard input. It accepts more than one file name on the command line. The input file is the concatenation of all the specified files. If an invalid option is given or the command line contains a syntax error, the Intel assembler prints the error (including a synopsis of the command line syntax and options) to standard error output, and then terminates. The Intel assembler supports #define macros, #include files, and symbolic substitution through use of the C preprocessor cpp. The assembler invokes the preprocessor before assembly begins if it has been specified from the command line as an option. (See the -P option.) Assembler Command Line Options -Dname -Dname=def When the -P option is in effect, these options are passed to the cpp preprocessor without interpretation by the as command; otherwise, they are ignored. -Ipath When the -P option is in effect, this option is passed to the cpp preprocessor without interpretation by the as command; otherwise, it is ignored. -m This new option runs m4 macro preprocessing on input. The m4 preprocessor is more powerful than the C preprocessor (invoked by the -P option), so it is more useful for complex preprocessing. See the SunOS 5.x Reference Manual for x86 for a detailed description of the m4 macro-processor. -o outfile Takes the next argument as the name of the output file to be produced. By default, the .s suffix, if present, is removed from the input file and the .o suffix is appended to form the output file name. 168 x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual—November 1995 A -P Run cpp, the C preprocessor, on the files being assembled. The preprocessor is run separately on each input file, not on their concatenation. The preprocessor output is passed to the assembler. -Q[y|n] This new option produces the “assembler version” information in the comment section of the output object file if the y option is specified; if the n option is specified, the information is suppressed. -s This new option places all stabs in the .stabs section. By default, stabs are placed in stabs.excl sections, that are stripped out by the static linker ld during final execution. When the -s option is used, stabs remain in the final executable because .stab sections are not stripped out by the static linker ld. -Uname When the -P option is in effect, this option is passed to the cpp preprocessor without interpretation by the as command; otherwise, it is ignored. -V This option writes the version information on the standard error output. Disassembling Object Code The dis program is the object code disassembler for ELF. It produces an assembly language listing of the object file. For detailed information about this function, see the dis(1) manual page.
