|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The mmo file contents is not partitioned into named sections as
|
||
|
|
with e.g. ELF. Memory areas is formed by specifying the
|
||
|
|
location of the data that follows. Only the memory area
|
||
|
|
<span class="samp">0x0000...00</span> to <span class="samp">0x01ff...ff</span> is executable, so
|
||
|
|
it is used for code (and constants) and the area
|
||
|
|
<span class="samp">0x2000...00</span> to <span class="samp">0x20ff...ff</span> is used for
|
||
|
|
writable data. See <a href="mmo-section-mapping.html#mmo-section-mapping">mmo section mapping</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>There is provision for specifying “special data” of 65536
|
||
|
|
different types. We use type 80 (decimal), arbitrarily chosen the
|
||
|
|
same as the ELF <code>e_machine</code> number for MMIX, filling it with
|
||
|
|
section information normally found in ELF objects. See <a href="mmo-section-mapping.html#mmo-section-mapping">mmo section mapping</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Contents is entered as 32-bit words, xor:ed over previous
|
||
|
|
contents, always zero-initialized. A word that starts with the
|
||
|
|
byte <span class="samp">0x98</span> forms a command called a <span class="samp">lopcode</span>, where
|
||
|
|
the next byte distinguished between the thirteen lopcodes. The
|
||
|
|
two remaining bytes, called the <span class="samp">Y</span> and <span class="samp">Z</span> fields, or
|
||
|
|
the <span class="samp">YZ</span> field (a 16-bit big-endian number), are used for
|
||
|
|
various purposes different for each lopcode. As documented in
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmixal-intro.ps.gz">http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmixal-intro.ps.gz</a>,
|
||
|
|
the lopcodes are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>lop_quote</code><dd>0x98000001. The next word is contents, regardless of whether it
|
||
|
|
starts with 0x98 or not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_loc</code><dd>0x9801YYZZ, where <span class="samp">Z</span> is 1 or 2. This is a location
|
||
|
|
directive, setting the location for the next data to the next
|
||
|
|
32-bit word (for Z = 1) or 64-bit word (for Z = 2),
|
||
|
|
plus Y * 2^56. Normally <span class="samp">Y</span> is 0 for the text segment
|
||
|
|
and 2 for the data segment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_skip</code><dd>0x9802YYZZ. Increase the current location by <span class="samp">YZ</span> bytes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_fixo</code><dd>0x9803YYZZ, where <span class="samp">Z</span> is 1 or 2. Store the current location
|
||
|
|
as 64 bits into the location pointed to by the next 32-bit
|
||
|
|
(Z = 1) or 64-bit (Z = 2) word, plus Y *
|
||
|
|
2^56.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_fixr</code><dd>0x9804YYZZ. <span class="samp">YZ</span> is stored into the current location plus
|
||
|
|
2 - 4 * YZ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_fixrx</code><dd>0x980500ZZ. <span class="samp">Z</span> is 16 or 24. A value <span class="samp">L</span> derived from
|
||
|
|
the following 32-bit word are used in a manner similar to
|
||
|
|
<span class="samp">YZ</span> in lop_fixr: it is xor:ed into the current location
|
||
|
|
minus 4 * L. The first byte of the word is 0 or 1. If it
|
||
|
|
is 1, then L = (<var>lowest 24 bits of word</var>) - 2^Z, if 0,
|
||
|
|
then L = (<var>lowest 24 bits of word</var>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_file</code><dd>0x9806YYZZ. <span class="samp">Y</span> is the file number, <span class="samp">Z</span> is count of
|
||
|
|
32-bit words. Set the file number to <span class="samp">Y</span> and the line
|
||
|
|
counter to 0. The next Z * 4 bytes contain the file name,
|
||
|
|
padded with zeros if the count is not a multiple of four. The
|
||
|
|
same <span class="samp">Y</span> may occur multiple times, but <span class="samp">Z</span> must be 0 for
|
||
|
|
all but the first occurrence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_line</code><dd>0x9807YYZZ. <span class="samp">YZ</span> is the line number. Together with
|
||
|
|
lop_file, it forms the source location for the next 32-bit word.
|
||
|
|
Note that for each non-lopcode 32-bit word, line numbers are
|
||
|
|
assumed incremented by one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_spec</code><dd>0x9808YYZZ. <span class="samp">YZ</span> is the type number. Data until the next
|
||
|
|
lopcode other than lop_quote forms special data of type <span class="samp">YZ</span>.
|
||
|
|
See <a href="mmo-section-mapping.html#mmo-section-mapping">mmo section mapping</a>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Other types than 80, (or type 80 with a content that does not
|
||
|
|
parse) is stored in sections named <code>.MMIX.spec_data.</code><var>n</var>
|
||
|
|
where <var>n</var> is the <span class="samp">YZ</span>-type. The flags for such a
|
||
|
|
sections say not to allocate or load the data. The vma is 0.
|
||
|
|
Contents of multiple occurrences of special data <var>n</var> is
|
||
|
|
concatenated to the data of the previous lop_spec <var>n</var>s. The
|
||
|
|
location in data or code at which the lop_spec occurred is lost.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_pre</code><dd>0x980901ZZ. The first lopcode in a file. The <span class="samp">Z</span> field forms the
|
||
|
|
length of header information in 32-bit words, where the first word
|
||
|
|
tells the time in seconds since <span class="samp">00:00:00 GMT Jan 1 1970</span>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_post</code><dd>0x980a00ZZ. Z > 32. This lopcode follows after all
|
||
|
|
content-generating lopcodes in a program. The <span class="samp">Z</span> field
|
||
|
|
denotes the value of <span class="samp">rG</span> at the beginning of the program.
|
||
|
|
The following 256 - Z big-endian 64-bit words are loaded
|
||
|
|
into global registers <span class="samp">$G</span> <small class="dots">...</small> <span class="samp">$255</span>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_stab</code><dd>0x980b0000. The next-to-last lopcode in a program. Must follow
|
||
|
|
immediately after the lop_post lopcode and its data. After this
|
||
|
|
lopcode follows all symbols in a compressed format
|
||
|
|
(see <a href="Symbol_002dtable.html#Symbol_002dtable">Symbol-table</a>).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>lop_end</code><dd>0x980cYYZZ. The last lopcode in a program. It must follow the
|
||
|
|
lop_stab lopcode and its data. The <span class="samp">YZ</span> field contains the
|
||
|
|
number of 32-bit words of symbol table information after the
|
||
|
|
preceding lop_stab lopcode.
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that the lopcode "fixups"; <code>lop_fixr</code>, <code>lop_fixrx</code> and
|
||
|
|
<code>lop_fixo</code> are not generated by BFD, but are handled. They are
|
||
|
|
generated by <code>mmixal</code>.
