  1. Machine-Level Programming III:Procedures • Topics • IA32 stack discipline • Register saving conventions • Creating pointers to local variables

  2. Increasing Addresses Stack Pointer %esp IA32 Stack Stack “Bottom” • Region of memory managed with stack discipline • Grows toward lower addresses • Register %esp indicates lowest stack address • address of top element Stack Grows Down Stack “Top”

  3. Increasing Addresses Stack Pointer %esp IA32 Stack Pushing Stack “Bottom” • Pushing • pushl Src • Fetch operand at Src • Decrement %esp by 4 • Write operand at address given by %esp Stack Grows Down -4 Stack “Top”

  4. Increasing Addresses Stack Pointer %esp IA32 Stack Popping Stack “Bottom” • Popping • popl Dest • Read operand at address given by %esp • Increment %esp by 4 • Write to Dest Stack Grows Down +4 Stack “Top”

  5. Stack Operation Examples pushl %eax popl %edx 0x110 0x110 0x110 0x10c 0x10c 0x10c 0x108 123 0x108 123 0x108 123 0x104 213 0x104 213 %eax 213 %eax 213 %eax 213 %edx 555 %edx 555 %edx 213 555 %esp 0x108 %esp 0x104 0x108 %esp 0x104 0x108

  6. Procedure Control Flow • Use stack to support procedure call and return • Procedure call: call label Push return address on stack; Jump to label • Return address value • Address of instruction beyond call • Example from disassembly 804854e: e8 3d 06 00 00 call 8048b90 <main> 8048553: 50 pushl %eax • Return address = 0x8048553 • Procedure return: • ret Pop address from stack; Jump to address

  7. Procedure Call Example • 804854e: e8 3d 06 00 00 call 8048b90 <main> • 8048553: 50 pushl %eax call 8048b90 0x110 0x110 0x10c 0x10c 0x108 123 0x108 123 0x104 0x8048553 %esp 0x108 %esp 0x108 0x104 %eip 0x804854e %eip 0x804854e 0x8048b90 %eip is program counter

  8. Procedure Return Example • 8048591: c3 ret ret 0x110 0x110 0x10c 0x10c 0x108 123 0x108 123 0x104 0x8048553 0x8048553 %esp 0x104 %esp 0x104 0x108 %eip 0x8048591 %eip 0x8048591 0x8048553 %eip is program counter

  9. 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 Discipline • State for given procedure needed for limited time • From when called to when return • Callee returns before caller does • Stack Allocated in Frames • state for single procedure instantiation

  10. Call Chain Example Call Chain • Code Structure • yoo(…) • { • • • • • who(); • • • • • } yoo • who(…) • { • • • • • amI(); • • • • • amI(); • • • • • } who amI amI • amI(…) • { • • • • • amI(); • • • • • } amI amI • Procedure amI recursive

  11. Frame Pointer %ebp Stack Pointer %esp Stack Frames yoo • Contents • Local variables • Return information • Temporary space • Management • Space allocated when enter procedure • “Set-up” code • Deallocated when return • “Finish” code • Pointers • Stack pointer %esp indicates stack top • Frame pointer %ebp indicates start of current frame who amI proc Stack “Top”

  12. Frame Pointer %ebp Stack Pointer %esp Stack Operation • • • Call Chain yoo • yoo(…) • { • • • • • who(); • • • • • } yoo

  23. IA32/Linux Stack Frame • Current Stack Frame (“Top” to Bottom) • Parameters for function about to call • “Argument build” • Local variables • If can’t keep in registers • Saved register context • Old frame pointer • Caller Stack Frame • Return address • Pushed by call instruction • Arguments for this call Caller Frame Arguments Frame Pointer (%ebp) Return Addr Old %ebp Saved Registers + Local Variables Argument Build Stack Pointer (%esp)

  24. Revisiting swap Calling swap from call_swap int zip1 = 15213; int zip2 = 91125; void call_swap() { swap(&zip1, &zip2); } call_swap: • • • pushl $zip2 # Global Var pushl $zip1 # Global Var call swap • • • • • • Resulting Stack void swap(int *xp, int *yp) { int t0 = *xp; int t1 = *yp; *xp = t1; *yp = t0; } &zip2 &zip1 Rtn adr %esp

  25.

  34. Register Saving Conventions • When procedure yoo calls who: • yoo is the caller, who is the callee • Can Register be Used for Temporary Storage? • Contents of register %edx overwritten by who • yoo: • • • • • movl $15213, %edx • call who • addl %edx, %eax • • • • • ret • who: • • • • • movl 8(%ebp), %edx • addl $91125, %edx • • • • • ret

  35. Register Saving Conventions • When procedure yoo calls who: • yoo is the caller, who is the callee • Can Register be Used for Temporary Storage? • Conventions • “Caller Save” • Caller saves temporary in its frame before calling • “Callee Save” • Callee saves temporary in its frame before using

  36. IA32/Linux Register Usage • Integer Registers • Two have special uses %ebp, %esp • Three managed as callee-save %ebx, %esi, %edi • Old values saved on stack prior to using • Three managed as caller-save %eax, %edx, %ecx • Do what you please, but expect any callee to do so, as well • Register %eax also stores returned value %eax Caller-Save Temporaries %edx %ecx %ebx Callee-Save Temporaries %esi %edi %esp Special %ebp

  43. Pointer Code Recursive Procedure Top-Level Call • Pass pointer to update location void s_helper (int x, int *accum) { if (x <= 1) return; else { int z = *accum * x; *accum = z; s_helper (x-1,accum); } } int sfact(int x) { int val = 1; s_helper(x, &val); return val; }

  44. %ebp Temp. Space val = 1 Unused %esp Creating & Initializing Pointer Initial part of sfact • Using Stack for Local Variable • Variable val must be stored on stack • Need to create pointer to it • Compute pointer as -4(%ebp) • Push on stack as second argument _sfact: pushl %ebp # Save %ebp movl %esp,%ebp # Set %ebp subl $16,%esp # Add 16 bytes movl 8(%ebp),%edx # edx = x movl $1,-4(%ebp) # val = 1 _sfact: pushl %ebp # Save %ebp movl %esp,%ebp # Set %ebp subl $16,%esp # Add 16 bytes movl 8(%ebp),%edx # edx = x movl $1,-4(%ebp) # val = 1 _sfact: pushl %ebp # Save %ebp movl %esp,%ebp # Set %ebp subl $16,%esp # Add 16 bytes movl 8(%ebp),%edx # edx = x movl $1,-4(%ebp) # val = 1 _sfact: pushl %ebp # Save %ebp movl %esp,%ebp # Set %ebp subl $16,%esp # Add 16 bytes movl 8(%ebp),%edx # edx = x movl $1,-4(%ebp) # val = 1 8 x 4 Rtn adr 0 Old %ebp -4 -8 -12 -16 int sfact(int x) { int val = 1; s_helper(x, &val); return val; }

  47. 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 • IA32 Procedures Combination of Instructions + Conventions • Call / Ret instructions • Register usage conventions • Caller / Callee save • %ebp and %esp • Stack frame organization conventions
