#!/usr/bin/env perl # Ascetic x86_64 AT&T to MASM/NASM assembler translator by <appro>. # # Why AT&T to MASM and not vice versa? Several reasons. Because AT&T # format is way easier to parse. Because it's simpler to "gear" from # Unix ABI to Windows one [see cross-reference "card" at the end of # file]. Because Linux targets were available first... # # In addition the script also "distills" code suitable for GNU # assembler, so that it can be compiled with more rigid assemblers, # such as Solaris /usr/ccs/bin/as. # # This translator is not designed to convert *arbitrary* assembler # code from AT&T format to MASM one. It's designed to convert just # enough to provide for dual-ABI OpenSSL modules development... # There *are* limitations and you might have to modify your assembler # code or this script to achieve the desired result... # # Currently recognized limitations: # # - can't use multiple ops per line; # # Dual-ABI styling rules. # # 1. Adhere to Unix register and stack layout [see cross-reference # ABI "card" at the end for explanation]. # 2. Forget about "red zone," stick to more traditional blended # stack frame allocation. If volatile storage is actually required # that is. If not, just leave the stack as is. # 3. Functions tagged with ".type name,@function" get crafted with # unified Win64 prologue and epilogue automatically. If you want # to take care of ABI differences yourself, tag functions as # ".type name,@abi-omnipotent" instead. # 4. To optimize the Win64 prologue you can specify number of input # arguments as ".type name,@function,N." Keep in mind that if N is # larger than 6, then you *have to* write "abi-omnipotent" code, # because >6 cases can't be addressed with unified prologue. # 5. Name local labels as .L*, do *not* use dynamic labels such as 1: # (sorry about latter). # 6. Don't use [or hand-code with .byte] "rep ret." "ret" mnemonic is # required to identify the spots, where to inject Win64 epilogue! # But on the pros, it's then prefixed with rep automatically:-) # 7. Stick to explicit ip-relative addressing. If you have to use # GOTPCREL addressing, stick to mov symbol@GOTPCREL(%rip),%r??. # Both are recognized and translated to proper Win64 addressing # modes. To support legacy code a synthetic directive, .picmeup, # is implemented. It puts address of the *next* instruction into # target register, e.g.: # # .picmeup %rax # lea .Label-.(%rax),%rax # # 8. In order to provide for structured exception handling unified # Win64 prologue copies %rsp value to %rax. For further details # see SEH paragraph at the end. # 9. .init segment is allowed to contain calls to functions only. # a. If function accepts more than 4 arguments *and* >4th argument # is declared as non 64-bit value, do clear its upper part. my $flavour = shift; my $output = shift; if ($flavour =~ /\./) { $output = $flavour; undef $flavour; } { my ($stddev,$stdino,@junk)=stat(STDOUT); my ($outdev,$outino,@junk)=stat($output); open STDOUT,">$output" || die "can't open $output: $!" if ($stddev!=$outdev || $stdino!=$outino); } my $gas=1; $gas=0 if ($output =~ /\.asm$/); my $elf=1; $elf=0 if (!$gas); my $win64=0; my $prefix=""; my $decor=".L"; my $masmref=8 + 50727*2**-32; # 8.00.50727 shipped with VS2005 my $masm=0; my $PTR=" PTR"; my $nasmref=2.03; my $nasm=0; if ($flavour eq "mingw64") { $gas=1; $elf=0; $win64=1; $prefix=`echo __USER_LABEL_PREFIX__ | $ENV{CC} -E -P -`; chomp($prefix); } elsif ($flavour eq "macosx") { $gas=1; $elf=0; $prefix="_"; $decor="L\$"; } elsif ($flavour eq "masm") { $gas=0; $elf=0; $masm=$masmref; $win64=1; $decor="\$L\$"; } elsif ($flavour eq "nasm") { $gas=0; $elf=0; $nasm=$nasmref; $win64=1; $decor="\$L\$"; $PTR=""; } elsif (!$gas) { if ($ENV{ASM} =~ m/nasm/ && `nasm -v` =~ m/version ([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)/i) { $nasm = $1 + $2*0.01; $PTR=""; } elsif (`ml64 2>&1` =~ m/Version ([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)(\.([0-9]+))?/) { $masm = $1 + $2*2**-16 + $4*2**-32; } die "no assembler found on %PATH" if (!($nasm || $masm)); $win64=1; $elf=0; $decor="\$L\$"; } my $current_segment; my $current_function; my %globals; { package opcode; # pick up opcodes sub re { my $self = shift; # single instance in enough... local *line = shift; undef $ret; if ($line =~ /^([a-z][a-z0-9]*)/i) { $self->{op} = $1; $ret = $self; $line = substr($line,@+[0]); $line =~ s/^\s+//; undef $self->{sz}; if ($self->{op} =~ /^(movz)b.*/) { # movz is pain... $self->{op} = $1; $self->{sz} = "b"; } elsif ($self->{op} =~ /call|jmp/) { $self->{sz} = ""; } elsif ($self->{op} =~ /^p/ && $' !~ /^(ush|op)/) { # SSEn $self->{sz} = ""; } elsif ($self->{op} =~ /([a-z]{3,})([qlwb])$/) { $self->{op} = $1; $self->{sz} = $2; } } $ret; } sub size { my $self = shift; my $sz = shift; $self->{sz} = $sz if (defined($sz) && !defined($self->{sz})); $self->{sz}; } sub out { my $self = shift; if ($gas) { if ($self->{op} eq "movz") { # movz is pain... sprintf "%s%s%s",$self->{op},$self->{sz},shift; } elsif ($self->{op} =~ /^set/) { "$self->{op}"; } elsif ($self->{op} eq "ret") { my $epilogue = ""; if ($win64 && $current_function->{abi} eq "svr4") { $epilogue = "movq 8(%rsp),%rdi\n\t" .

Consider following # snippet: # # .type function,@function # function: # movq %rsp,%rax # copy rsp to volatile register # pushq %r15 # save non-volatile registers # pushq %rbx # pushq %rbp # movq %rsp,%r11 # subq %rdi,%r11 # prepare [variable] stack frame # andq $-64,%r11 # movq %rax,0(%r11) # check for exceptions # movq %r11,%rsp # allocate [variable] stack frame # movq %rax,0(%rsp) # save original rsp value # magic_point: # ... # movq 0(%rsp),%rcx # pull original rsp value # movq -24(%rcx),%rbp # restore non-volatile registers # movq -16(%rcx),%rbx # movq -8(%rcx),%r15 # movq %rcx,%rsp # restore original rsp # ret # .size function,.-function # # The key is that up to magic_point copy of original rsp value remains # in chosen volatile register and no non-volatile register, except for # rsp, is modified. While past magic_point rsp remains constant till # the very end of the function. In this case custom language-specific # exception handler would look like this: # # EXCEPTION_DISPOSITION handler (EXCEPTION_RECORD *rec,ULONG64 frame, # CONTEXT *context,DISPATCHER_CONTEXT *disp) # { ULONG64 *rsp = (ULONG64 *)context->Rax; # if (context->Rip >= magic_point) # { rsp = ((ULONG64 **)context->Rsp)[0]; # context->Rbp = rsp[-3]; # context->Rbx = rsp[-2]; # context->R15 = rsp[-1]; # } # context->Rsp = (ULONG64)rsp; # context->Rdi = rsp[1]; # context->Rsi = rsp[2]; # # memcpy (disp->ContextRecord,context,sizeof(CONTEXT)); # RtlVirtualUnwind(UNW_FLAG_NHANDLER,disp->ImageBase, # dips->ControlPc,disp->FunctionEntry,disp->ContextRecord, # &disp->HandlerData,&disp->EstablisherFrame,NULL); # return ExceptionContinueSearch; # } # # It's appropriate to implement this handler in assembler, directly in # function's module. In order to do that one has to know members' # offsets in CONTEXT and DISPATCHER_CONTEXT structures and some constant # values. Here they are: # # CONTEXT.Rax 120 # CONTEXT.Rcx 128 # CONTEXT.Rdx 136 # CONTEXT.Rbx 144 # CONTEXT.Rsp 152 # CONTEXT.Rbp 160 # CONTEXT.Rsi 168 # CONTEXT.Rdi 176 # CONTEXT.R8 184 # CONTEXT.R9 192 # CONTEXT.R10 200 # CONTEXT.R11 208 # CONTEXT.R12 216 # CONTEXT.R13 224 # CONTEXT.R14 232 # CONTEXT.R15 240 # CONTEXT.Rip 248 # CONTEXT.Xmm6 512 # sizeof(CONTEXT) 1232 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.ControlPc 0 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.ImageBase 8 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.FunctionEntry 16 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.EstablisherFrame 24 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.TargetIp 32 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.ContextRecord 40 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.LanguageHandler 48 # DISPATCHER_CONTEXT.HandlerData 56 # UNW_FLAG_NHANDLER 0 # ExceptionContinueSearch 1 # # In order to tie the handler to the function one has to compose # couple of structures: one for .xdata segment and one for .pdata. # # UNWIND_INFO structure for .xdata segment would be # # function_unwind_info: # .byte 9,0,0,0 # .rva handler # # This structure designates exception handler for a function with # zero-length prologue, no stack frame or frame register. # # To facilitate composing of .pdata structures, auto-generated "gear" # prologue copies rsp value to rax and denotes next instruction with # .LSEH_begin_{function_name} label. This essentially defines the SEH # styling rule mentioned in the beginning. Position of this label is # chosen in such manner that possible exceptions raised in the "gear" # prologue would be accounted to caller and unwound from latter's frame. # End of function is marked with respective .LSEH_end_{function_name} # label. To summarize, .pdata segment would contain # # .rva .LSEH_begin_function # .rva .LSEH_end_function # .rva function_unwind_info # # Reference to functon_unwind_info from .xdata segment is the anchor. # In case you wonder why references are 32-bit .rvas and not 64-bit # .quads. References put into these two segments are required to be # *relative* to the base address of the current binary module, a.k.a. # image base. No Win64 module, be it .exe or .dll, can be larger than # 2GB and thus such relative references can be and are accommodated in # 32 bits. # # Having reviewed the example function code, one can argue that "movq # %rsp,%rax" above is redundant. It is not! Keep in mind that on Unix # rax would contain an undefined value. If this "offends" you, use # another register and refrain from modifying rax till magic_point is # reached, i.e. as if it was a non-volatile register. If more registers # are required prior [variable] frame setup is completed, note that # nobody says that you can have only one "magic point." You can # "liberate" non-volatile registers by denoting last stack off-load # instruction and reflecting it in finer grade unwind logic in handler. # After all, isn't it why it's called *language-specific* handler... # # Attentive reader can notice that exceptions would be mishandled in # auto-generated "gear" epilogue. Well, exception effectively can't # occur there, because if memory area used by it was subject to # segmentation violation, then it would be raised upon call to the # function (and as already mentioned be accounted to caller, which is # not a problem). If you're still not comfortable, then define tail # "magic point" just prior ret instruction and have handler treat it... # # (*) Note that we're talking about run-time, not debug-time. Lack of # unwind information makes debugging hard on both Windows and # Unix. "Unlike" referes to the fact that on Unix signal handler # will always be invoked, core dumped and appropriate exit code # returned to parent (for user notification).
