; 64-bit memory addressing
mov rax, [rbx] ; 64-bit memory load
mov [rcx+rdx*8], rax ; 64-bit store with scaling
lea rsi, [rdi+r8*4+100] ; Load effective address calculation
; RIP-relative addressing (64-bit mode only)
mov rax, [rip+variable] ; PC-relative data access
call [rip+function_ptr] ; PC-relative function callThe introduction of RIP-relative addressing represents a significant architectural enhancement that enables position-independent code generation and simplifies dynamic linking. This addressing mode calculates memory addresses relative to the current instruction pointer, eliminating the need for absolute addressing in many scenarios and improving code portability.
Enhanced Instruction Set and Encoding
REX Prefix and Instruction Encoding
x86-64 introduces the REX prefix byte that enables access to extended registers and 64-bit operand sizes while maintaining compatibility with existing instruction encoding. The REX prefix appears before the instruction opcode and contains fields that specify 64-bit operation mode, extended register access, and additional addressing capabilities. Understanding REX prefix usage is crucial for assembly programmers working with the extended register set and 64-bit operations.
; REX prefix examples (shown conceptually)
mov rax, rbx ; REX.W + MOV (64-bit operation)
mov r8, r9 ; REX.W + REX.R + REX.B + MOV (extended registers)
mov eax, r8d ; REX.B + MOV (32-bit with extended register)
; Instruction encoding considerations
add rax, 1 ; Can use shorter encoding than immediate
add rax, 128 ; Requires longer immediate encoding
add rax, r8 ; Uses REX prefix for extended registerThe REX prefix enables several important capabilities including access to registers R8-R15, 64-bit operand size specification, and extended addressing modes. The prefix is automatically generated by assemblers when required, but understanding its function helps in optimizing instruction selection and understanding code size implications.
New Instructions and Capabilities
x86-64 introduces several new instructions and enhances existing instructions to take advantage of 64-bit capabilities. These enhancements include new addressing modes, extended immediate value support, and instructions optimized for 64-bit operation. The architecture also removes some legacy instructions that are incompatible with 64-bit operation while adding new capabilities that improve performance and functionality.
; 64-bit specific instructions
movsxd rax, eax ; Sign-extend 32-bit to 64-bit
cdqe ; Convert doubleword to quadword (RAX)
cqo ; Convert quadword to octword (RDX:RAX)
; Enhanced immediate support
mov rax, 0FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFh ; 64-bit immediate (limited cases)
mov r8, 7FFFFFFFh ; 32-bit immediate sign-extended
; Improved string operations
movsq ; Move quadword string
stosq ; Store quadword string
scasq ; Scan quadword stringThe MOVSXD instruction provides efficient sign-extension from 32-bit to 64-bit values, addressing a common requirement in 64-bit programming. The enhanced string instructions operate on 64-bit quantities, providing improved performance for bulk data operations on 64-bit aligned data.
Calling Conventions and ABI
System V ABI (Unix/Linux)
The System V Application Binary Interface defines the standard calling convention for Unix-like systems running on x86-64, establishing consistent parameter passing, register usage, and stack management protocols. This ABI takes advantage of the expanded register set to pass function parameters in registers rather than on the stack, significantly improving function call performance compared to 32-bit conventions.
; System V ABI parameter passing
; Integer/pointer parameters: RDI, RSI, RDX, RCX, R8, R9
; Floating-point parameters: XMM0-XMM7
; Return values: RAX (integer), XMM0 (floating-point)
function_call_example:
; Prepare parameters
mov rdi, param1 ; First parameter
mov rsi, param2 ; Second parameter
mov rdx, param3 ; Third parameter
mov rcx, param4 ; Fourth parameter
mov r8, param5 ; Fifth parameter
mov r9, param6 ; Sixth parameter
; Additional parameters go on stack
call target_function
; Return value in RAX
; Function prologue/epilogue
target_function:
push rbp ; Save frame pointer
mov rbp, rsp ; Establish frame pointer
sub rsp, 32 ; Allocate local storage (16-byte aligned)
; Function body
mov rax, rdi ; Access first parameter
add rax, rsi ; Add second parameter
; Function epilogue
mov rsp, rbp ; Restore stack pointer
pop rbp ; Restore frame pointer
ret ; Return to callerThe System V ABI requires 16-byte stack alignment at function call boundaries, ensuring optimal performance for SIMD operations and maintaining compatibility with compiler-generated code. The ABI also defines callee-saved registers (RBX, RBP, R12-R15) that must be preserved across function calls, and caller-saved registers that may be modified by called functions.
Microsoft x64 ABI (Windows)
The Microsoft x64 calling convention differs from System V ABI in several important ways, reflecting different design priorities and compatibility requirements. Understanding these differences is crucial for cross-platform development and when interfacing with Windows system APIs.
; Microsoft x64 ABI parameter passing
; Integer/pointer parameters: RCX, RDX, R8, R9
; Floating-point parameters: XMM0-XMM3
; Return values: RAX (integer), XMM0 (floating-point)
windows_function_call:
; Prepare parameters
mov rcx, param1 ; First parameter
mov rdx, param2 ; Second parameter
mov r8, param3 ; Third parameter
mov r9, param4 ; Fourth parameter
; Additional parameters go on stack
sub rsp, 32 ; Allocate shadow space
call target_function
add rsp, 32 ; Clean up shadow space
; Return value in RAX
; Windows function structure
windows_function:
; Shadow space automatically allocated by caller
mov [rsp+8], rcx ; Can spill parameters to shadow space
mov [rsp+16], rdx
mov [rsp+24], r8
mov [rsp+32], r9
; Function body
mov rax, rcx ; Access first parameter
add rax, rdx ; Add second parameter
ret ; Return to callerThe Microsoft ABI requires shadow space allocation for the first four parameters, even when they are passed in registers. This shadow space provides storage for register parameters if the called function needs to spill them to memory, simplifying function implementation and debugging.
Advanced Memory Management
Virtual Memory and Paging
x86-64 implements a sophisticated virtual memory system that supports multiple page sizes and advanced memory management features. The architecture uses a four-level page table structure (in most implementations) that enables efficient translation of virtual addresses to physical addresses while supporting the expanded address space.
