3# Ascetic x86_64 AT&T to MASM/NASM assembler translator by <appro>.
4#
5# Why AT&T to MASM and not vice versa? Several reasons. Because AT&T
6# format is way easier to parse. Because it's simpler to "gear" from
7# Unix ABI to Windows one [see cross-reference "card" at the end of
8# file]. Because Linux targets were available first...
9#
10# In addition the script also "distills" code suitable for GNU
11# assembler, so that it can be compiled with more rigid assemblers,
12# such as Solaris /usr/ccs/bin/as.
13#
14# This translator is not designed to convert *arbitrary* assembler
15# code from AT&T format to MASM one. It's designed to convert just
16# enough to provide for dual-ABI OpenSSL modules development...
17# There *are* limitations and you might have to modify your assembler
18# code or this script to achieve the desired result...
19#
20# Currently recognized limitations:
21#
22# - can't use multiple ops per line;
23#
24# Dual-ABI styling rules.
25#
26# 1. Adhere to Unix register and stack layout [see cross-reference
27#    ABI "card" at the end for explanation].
28# 2. Forget about "red zone," stick to more traditional blended
29#    stack frame allocation. If volatile storage is actually required
30#    that is. If not, just leave the stack as is.
31# 3. Functions tagged with ".type name,@function" get crafted with
32#    unified Win64 prologue and epilogue automatically. If you want
33#    to take care of ABI differences yourself, tag functions as
34#    ".type name,@abi-omnipotent" instead.
35# 4. To optimize the Win64 prologue you can specify number of input
36#    arguments as ".type name,@function,N." Keep in mind that if N is
37#    larger than 6, then you *have to* write "abi-omnipotent" code,
38#    because >6 cases can't be addressed with unified prologue.
39# 5. Name local labels as .L*, do *not* use dynamic labels such as 1:
40#    (sorry about latter).
41# 6. Don't use [or hand-code with .byte] "rep ret." "ret" mnemonic is
42#    required to identify the spots, where to inject Win64 epilogue!
43#    But on the pros, it's then prefixed with rep automatically:-)
44# 7. Stick to explicit ip-relative addressing. If you have to use
45#    GOTPCREL addressing, stick to mov symbol@GOTPCREL(%rip),%r??.
46#    Both are recognized and translated to proper Win64 addressing
47#    modes. To support legacy code a synthetic directive, .picmeup,
48#    is implemented. It puts address of the *next* instruction into
49#    target register, e.g.:
50#
51#		.picmeup	%rax
52#		lea		.Label-.(%rax),%rax
53#
54# 8. In order to provide for structured exception handling unified
55#    Win64 prologue copies %rsp value to %rax. For further details
56#    see SEH paragraph at the end.
57# 9. .init segment is allowed to contain calls to functions only.
58# a. If function accepts more than 4 arguments *and* >4th argument
59#    is declared as non 64-bit value, do clear its upper part.

1009# Win64 SEH, Structured Exception Handling.
1010#
1011# Unlike on Unix systems(*) lack of Win64 stack unwinding information
1012# has undesired side-effect at run-time: if an exception is raised in
1013# assembler subroutine such as those in question (basically we're
1014# referring to segmentation violations caused by malformed input
1015# parameters), the application is briskly terminated without invoking
1016# any exception handlers, most notably without generating memory dump
1017# or any user notification whatsoever. This poses a problem. It's
1018# possible to address it by registering custom language-specific
1019# handler that would restore processor context to the state at
1020# subroutine entry point and return "exception is not handled, keep
1021# unwinding" code. Writing such handler can be a challenge... But it's
1022# doable, though requires certain coding convention. Consider following
1023# snippet:
1024#
1025# .type	function,@function
1026# function:
1027#	movq	%rsp,%rax	# copy rsp to volatile register
1028#	pushq	%r15		# save non-volatile registers
1029#	pushq	%rbx
1030#	pushq	%rbp
1031#	movq	%rsp,%r11
1032#	subq	%rdi,%r11	# prepare [variable] stack frame
1033#	andq	$-64,%r11
1034#	movq	%rax,0(%r11)	# check for exceptions
1035#	movq	%r11,%rsp	# allocate [variable] stack frame
1036#	movq	%rax,0(%rsp)	# save original rsp value
1037# magic_point:
1038#	...
1039#	movq	0(%rsp),%rcx	# pull original rsp value
1040#	movq	-24(%rcx),%rbp	# restore non-volatile registers
1041#	movq	-16(%rcx),%rbx
1042#	movq	-8(%rcx),%r15
1043#	movq	%rcx,%rsp	# restore original rsp
1044#	ret
1045# .size function,.-function
1046#
1047# The key is that up to magic_point copy of original rsp value remains
1048# in chosen volatile register and no non-volatile register, except for
1049# rsp, is modified. While past magic_point rsp remains constant till
1050# the very end of the function. In this case custom language-specific
1051# exception handler would look like this:
1052#
1053# EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION handler (EXCEPTION_RECORD *rec,ULONG64 frame,
1054#		CONTEXT *context,DISPATCHER_CONTEXT *disp)
1055# {	ULONG64 *rsp = (ULONG64 *)context->Rax;
1056#	if (context->Rip >= magic_point)
1057#	{   rsp = ((ULONG64 **)context->Rsp)[0];
1058#	    context->Rbp = rsp[-3];
1059#	    context->Rbx = rsp[-2];
1060#	    context->R15 = rsp[-1];
1061#	}
1062#	context->Rsp = (ULONG64)rsp;
1063#	context->Rdi = rsp[1];
1064#	context->Rsi = rsp[2];
1065#
1066#	memcpy (disp->ContextRecord,context,sizeof(CONTEXT));
1067#	RtlVirtualUnwind(UNW_FLAG_NHANDLER,disp->ImageBase,
1068#		dips->ControlPc,disp->FunctionEntry,disp->ContextRecord,
1069#		&disp->HandlerData,&disp->EstablisherFrame,NULL);
1070#	return ExceptionContinueSearch;
1071# }
1072#
1073# It's appropriate to implement this handler in assembler, directly in
1074# function's module. In order to do that one has to know members'
1075# offsets in CONTEXT and DISPATCHER_CONTEXT structures and some constant
1076# values. Here they are:
1077#
1078#	CONTEXT.Rax				120
1079#	CONTEXT.Rcx				128
1080#	CONTEXT.Rdx				136
1081#	CONTEXT.Rbx				144
1082#	CONTEXT.Rsp				152
1083#	CONTEXT.Rbp				160
1084#	CONTEXT.Rsi				168

1090#	CONTEXT.R12				216
1091#	CONTEXT.R13				224
1092#	CONTEXT.R14				232
1093#	CONTEXT.R15				240
1094#	CONTEXT.Rip				248
1095#	CONTEXT.Xmm6				512
1096#	sizeof(CONTEXT)				1232
1097#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.ControlPc		0
1098#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.ImageBase		8
1099#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.FunctionEntry	16
1100#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.EstablisherFrame	24
1101#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.TargetIp		32
1102#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.ContextRecord	40
1103#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.LanguageHandler	48
1104#	DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.HandlerData		56
1105#	UNW_FLAG_NHANDLER			0
1106#	ExceptionContinueSearch			1
1107#
1108# In order to tie the handler to the function one has to compose
1109# couple of structures: one for .xdata segment and one for .pdata.
1110#
1111# UNWIND_INFO structure for .xdata segment would be
1112#
1113# function_unwind_info:
1114#	.byte	9,0,0,0
1115#	.rva	handler
1116#
1117# This structure designates exception handler for a function with
1118# zero-length prologue, no stack frame or frame register.
1119#
1120# To facilitate composing of .pdata structures, auto-generated "gear"
1121# prologue copies rsp value to rax and denotes next instruction with
1122# .LSEH_begin_{function_name} label. This essentially defines the SEH
1123# styling rule mentioned in the beginning. Position of this label is
1124# chosen in such manner that possible exceptions raised in the "gear"
1125# prologue would be accounted to caller and unwound from latter's frame.
1126# End of function is marked with respective .LSEH_end_{function_name}
1127# label. To summarize, .pdata segment would contain
1128#
1129#	.rva	.LSEH_begin_function
1130#	.rva	.LSEH_end_function
1131#	.rva	function_unwind_info
1132#
1133# Reference to functon_unwind_info from .xdata segment is the anchor.
1134# In case you wonder why references are 32-bit .rvas and not 64-bit
1135# .quads. References put into these two segments are required to be
1136# *relative* to the base address of the current binary module, a.k.a.
1137# image base. No Win64 module, be it .exe or .dll, can be larger than
1138# 2GB and thus such relative references can be and are accommodated in
1139# 32 bits.
1140#
1141# Having reviewed the example function code, one can argue that "movq
1142# %rsp,%rax" above is redundant. It is not! Keep in mind that on Unix
1143# rax would contain an undefined value. If this "offends" you, use
1144# another register and refrain from modifying rax till magic_point is
1145# reached, i.e. as if it was a non-volatile register. If more registers
1146# are required prior [variable] frame setup is completed, note that
1147# nobody says that you can have only one "magic point." You can
1148# "liberate" non-volatile registers by denoting last stack off-load
1149# instruction and reflecting it in finer grade unwind logic in handler.
1150# After all, isn't it why it's called *language-specific* handler...
1151#
1152# Attentive reader can notice that exceptions would be mishandled in
1153# auto-generated "gear" epilogue. Well, exception effectively can't
1154# occur there, because if memory area used by it was subject to
1155# segmentation violation, then it would be raised upon call to the
1156# function (and as already mentioned be accounted to caller, which is
1157# not a problem). If you're still not comfortable, then define tail
1158# "magic point" just prior ret instruction and have handler treat it...
1159#
1160# (*)	Note that we're talking about run-time, not debug-time. Lack of
1161#	unwind information makes debugging hard on both Windows and
1162#	Unix. "Unlike" referes to the fact that on Unix signal handler
1163#	will always be invoked, core dumped and appropriate exit code
1164#	returned to parent (for user notification).
