1. Microprocessor system architectures – IA32 introduction Jakub Yaghob

2. Architectures IA-32 Today commonly used AMD64/Intel 64 AMD has attempted to widen IA-32 to 64 bits, very unseemly extended in the system part IA-64 Very complicated application and system architecture, coming from HP PA-RISC, used in servers Maybe some others E.g. SPARC v8+v9, ARM, PowerPC

3. IA-32 part content Modes of operation Memory management: segmentation Memory management: paging Multitasking Exception and interrupt handling Debugging and performance monitoring Compatibility modes Advanced parts (multiprocessing, caches, virtualization)

4. What is system architecture? System architecture Application architecture System control registers System data structures System instructions

5. System architecture overview 32b - I

6. System architecture overview 32b - II

7. System architecture overview 64b - I

8. System architecture overview 64b - II

9. System architecture overview 64b - III Model specific registers

10. Operating modes - I Protected mode Native for i386+ processors Full 32-bit mode with system resources protection Real mode Backward compatibility with 8086-80286 No protection Starting mode for CPU Virtual 8086 mode Running inside the protected mode “Simulation” of the real mode System management mode Transparent mechanism for implementing power management Activation of an external system interrupt pin Separate address space Long/IA-32e mode Compatibility and full 64-bit mode

11. Operating modes - II

12. Operating modes - III

13. System flags in EFLAGS/RFLAGS

14. Memory management system registers

15. Control registers – CR0 PE – Protection Enable MP – Monitor coProcessor EM – EMulation TS – Task Switched ET – Extension Type NE – Numeric Error WP – Write Protect AM – Alignment Mask NW – Not Write-through CD – Cache Disabled PG - PaGing

16. Effects of EM, MP and TS Coprocessor emulation Context-switch support

17. Control registers – CR2 and CR3 Paging PWT – Page-level Writes Transparent PCD – Page-level Cache Disable

18. Control registers – CR4 Extension VME – Virtual-8086 Mode Extensions PVI – Protected-mode Virtual Interrupts TSD – Time Stamp Disable DE – Debugging Extensions PSE – Page Size Extensions PAE – Physical Address Extension MCE – Machine-Check Enable PGE – Page Global Enable PCE – Performance-monitoring Counter Enable OSFXSR – Operating System support for FXSAVE, FXRSTOR OSXMMEXCPT – OS support for unmasked SIMD floating-point EXCePTion VMXE – VMX Enable SMXE – SMX Enable FSGSBASE – Enable instructions RDxSBASE, WRxSBASE (x=F/G) PCIDE – Enable PCID OSXSAVE – XSAVE and Processor Extended States-Enable Bit SMEP – Enable supervisor-mode execution prevention

19. Extended Control Registers – XCR0 Paging x87 – x87 state supported by CPU, must be 1, otherwise #GP SSE – MXCSR and XMM registers supported by XSAVE/XRESTOR AVX – AVX instructions, XSAVE/XRESTOR handle AVX state
