Computer Systems The instruction set architecture Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Intel Processors • A stable platform for nearly 20 years • 8086 (1978) 8 bits • 80186 (1980) 8 or 16 bits • 80286 (1982) 16 bits • 80386 (1985) 32 bits (33 MHz) • Pentium 4 (2001) 32 bits (3.2 GHz) Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Intel Architecture 32-bit • Each processor was designed to be backward compatible • Co-processor is been integrated • Extra instructions are added for vector manipulation (MMX, SSE) • Gcc didn’t use these instructions until version 3.1 (May 2002) Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

2 3 1 0 Y Y Y Y A A A A X & Y X + Y X ^ Y X - Y B B B B X X X X A L U A L U A L U A L U ALU is still the core • Unit that performs arithmetic / logic operations on two inputs Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Basic Knowledge • Introduced in ‘Digitale Techniek’ Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Timing • For an subtraction, you needed three steps (automated with an sequencer) Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Registerfile ALU Micro-instructions int subtract(int invoer1, int invoer2) { return (invoer1 - invoer2); } _subtract: pushl %ebp movl %esp, %ebp movl 12(%ebp), %edx movl 8(%ebp), %eax subl %edx, %eax popl %ebp ret Gcc -S • The ‘invoer’ is moved from memory to two registers (a,d), followed by operation subl Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Integer Arithmetic Operations Of the 15 operations, we concentrate on 4 (Y86) Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Memory invisible to user code 0xffffffff Kernel virtual memory 0xc0000000 User stack (created at runtime) Memory mapped region for shared libraries printf() function 0x40000000 Run-time heap (created at runtime by malloc) Read/write data Loaded from the hello executable file Read-only code and data 0x08048000 Unused 0 Procedure call Calling procedure push parameter2 on stack Push parameter1 on stack Call subroutine Clean parameters off stack • Stack is part of virtual memory • Every called procedure gets frame on the stack Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Stack-based languages • Languages that Support Recursion • e.g., C, Pascal, Java • Code must be “Reentrant” • Multiple simultaneous instantiations of single procedure • Need some place to store state of each instantiation • Arguments • Local variables • Return pointer • Stack Allocated in Frames • state for single procedure instantiation Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

IA32/Linux Register Usage %eax Integer Registers • Two for the stack %ebp, %esp • Three are callee-save %ebx, %esi, %edi save on stack prior to using • Three are as caller-save %eax, %edx, %ecx save on stack prior to calling subroutine • Register %eax also stores returned value Caller-Save Temporaries %edx %ecx %ebx Callee-Save Temporaries %esi %edi %esp Special %ebp Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Summary • The Stack Makes Recursion Work • Private storage for each instance of procedure call • Instantiations don’t clobber each other • Addressing of locals + arguments can be relative to stack positions • Can be managed by stack discipline • Procedures return in inverse order of calls • Added as wrapper around ‘your’ code by compiler Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture

Summary • IA32 Procedures Combination of Instructions + Conventions • Call / Ret instructions • Register usage conventions • Caller / Callee save • %ebp and %esp • Stack frame organization conventions Computer Systems – the instruction set architecture
