  1. 16.317Microprocessor Systems Design I Instructor: Dr. Michael Geiger Summer 2012 Lecture 7 Reviewing protected mode memory accesses Virtual memory Exam 2 Preview

  2. Lecture outline • Announcements/reminders • HW 2, Lab 3 due today • Exam 1 regrade requests due in writing Monday, 7/30 • Answer to 1d should be (ii), not (iii) • Exam 2: Wednesday, 8/1 • List of 80386 instructions, condition codes will be posted • Exam 3: moved to Monday, 8/13 (not Wed 8/15) • Today’s lecture • Review: • Subroutine instructions • Protected mode memory management • Protected mode practice problems • Virtual memory • Exam 2 Preview Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  3. Review • Subroutines: low-level functions • When called, address of next instruction saved • Return instruction ends routine; goes to that point • May need to save state on stack • 80386 specifics • CALL <proc>: call procedure • <proc> can be label (16-/32-bit imm), reg, mem • RET: return from procedure • Saving state to stack: push instructions • Store data “above” current TOS; decrement SP • Basic PUSH stores word or double word • Directly storing flags: PUSHF • Storing all 16-/32-bit general purpose registers: PUSHA/PUSHAD • Restoring state: POP/POPF/POPA/POPAD Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  4. Review • Protected mode • Supports memory management, multitasking, protection • Changes in control/flag registers, IP, memory accesses • Selectors: pointers into descriptor tables • Contains requested privilege, global/local, and table index • Descriptors: provide info about segments • 8 bytes in length • 4 bytes: base address • 2 bytes: limit (max offset within segment) • Segment size = (limit + 1) bytes • 2 bytes: access info (privilege, R/W, executable, etc.) Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  5. Review (cont.) • Descriptors stored in descriptor tables • Specific memory range dedicated to table • GDTR points to global descriptor table • Contains base address, limit for GDT • LDTR cache points to global descriptor table • Contains base address, limit for current LDT • Values loaded from entry in GDT, pointed to by LDTR • Global memory access • Selector indicates access is global (TI == 0) • Index field in selector chooses descriptor from GDT • Descriptor provides starting address of segment • Local memory access • Selector indicates access is local (TI == 1) • Index field in selector chooses descriptor from LDT • Descriptor provides starting address of segment Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  6. Protected mode examples • See problems posted on web Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  7. Exam 2 notes • Allowed • One 8.5” x 11” double-sided sheet of notes • Calculator • Instruction/condition code list provided • No other notes or electronic devices (phone, laptop, etc.) • You will have 2 hours to complete exam, unless you arrive after 3:00 • Late arrivals need legit excuse to get full 2 hours • Covers all lectures after Exam 1 • Format similar to Exam 1 • 1 multiple choice question • 2 short problems to solve/code sequences to evaluate Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  8. Review: Bit test/scan, flag control • Bit test instructions • Check state of bit and store in CF • Basic test (BT) leaves bit unchanged • Can also set (BTS), clear (BTR), or complement bit (BTC) • Bit scan instructions • Find first non-zero bit and store index in dest. • Set ZF = 1 if source non-zero; ZF = 0 if source == 0 • BSF: scan right to left (LSB to MSB) • BSR: scan left to right (MSB to LSB) • Flag control instructions • Initialize carry flag to 0 (CLC), 1 (STC), or ~CF (CMC) • Set (STI) or clear (CLI) interrupt flag • Transfer flags to (LAHF) or from (SAHF) register AH Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  9. Review: Compare, set on condition • CMP D, S • Flags show result of (D) – (S) • Condition codes: mnemonics implying certain flag conditions • SETcc D • Sets single byte destination to all 1s (FFH) if condition true; all 0s (00H) if condition false • Can be used to build up complex conditions Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  10. Review: jump instructions • Two general types of jump • Unconditional: JMP <target> • Always go to target address • Conditional: Jcc <target> • Go to target address if condition true • Target can be: • Intrasegment: same segment; only IP changes • Add constant 8/16 bit offset, or • Replace IP with 16 bit value from register/memory • Intersegment: different segment; CS/IP both change • Target is 32-bit value • Upper 16 bits overwrite CS; lower bits overwrite IP • Jump applications • Conditional statements (if/else) • Loops (pre-/post-tested) Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  11. Review: loop instructions • Loop instructions • Combines CX decrement with JNZ test • May add additional required condition • LOOPE/LOOPZ: loop if ((CX != 0) && (ZF == 1)) • LOOPNE/LOOPNEZ: loop if (CX != 0) && (ZF == 0)) Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  12. Review: subroutines • Subroutines: low-level functions • When called, address of next instruction saved • Return instruction ends routine; goes to that point • May need to save state on stack • 80386 specifics • CALL <proc>: call procedure • <proc> can be label (16-/32-bit imm), reg, mem • RET: return from procedure • Saving state to stack: push instructions • Store data “above” current TOS; decrement SP • Basic PUSH stores word or double word • Directly storing flags: PUSHF • Storing all 16-/32-bit general purpose registers: PUSHA/PUSHAD • Restoring state: POP/POPF/POPA/POPAD Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  13. Review: protected mode • Protected mode • Supports memory management, multitasking, protection • Changes in control/flag registers, IP, memory accesses • Selectors: pointers into descriptor tables • Contains requested privilege, global/local, and table index • Descriptors: provide info about segments • 8 bytes in length • 4 bytes: base address • 2 bytes: limit (max offset within segment) • Segment size = (limit + 1) bytes • 2 bytes: access info (privilege, R/W, executable, etc.) Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  14. Review (cont.) • Descriptors stored in descriptor tables • Specific memory range dedicated to table • GDTR points to global descriptor table • Contains base address, limit for GDT • LDTR cache points to global descriptor table • Contains base address, limit for current LDT • Values loaded from entry in GDT, pointed to by LDTR • Global memory access • Selector indicates access is global (TI == 0) • Index field in selector chooses descriptor from GDT • Descriptor provides starting address of segment • Local memory access • Selector indicates access is local (TI == 1) • Index field in selector chooses descriptor from LDT • Descriptor provides starting address of segment Microprocessors I: Lecture 7

  15. Final notes • Next time: Exam 2 • Reminders • HW 2, Lab 3 both due today • Lecture Friday: PIC intro • HW 3 to be posted today, due 8/6 • Lab 4 coming soon, due 8/8 • Note: lab uses PIC microcontroller—will have to check out kit from lab, so you’ll need to contact me to do so Microprocessors I: Lecture 7
