perlasm/x86_64-xlate.pl: refine sign extension in ea package.

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.

1006 # has undesired side-effect at run-time: if an exception is raised in

1008 # referring to segmentation violations caused by malformed input
1009 # parameters), the application is briskly terminated without invoking
1010 # any exception handlers, most notably without generating memory dump
1011 # or any user notification whatsoever. This poses a problem. It's
1012 # possible to address it by registering custom language-specific
1013 # handler that would restore processor context to the state at
1014 # subroutine entry point and return "exception is not handled, keep
1015 # unwinding" code. Writing such handler can be a challenge... But it's

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