|
|
<p>The Sparc integer register file is broken down into global,
|
outgoing, local, and incoming.
|
</p>
|
<ul>
|
<li> The 8 global registers are referred to as ‘<samp>%g<var>n</var></samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The 8 outgoing registers are referred to as ‘<samp>%o<var>n</var></samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The 8 local registers are referred to as ‘<samp>%l<var>n</var></samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The 8 incoming registers are referred to as ‘<samp>%i<var>n</var></samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The frame pointer register ‘<samp>%i6</samp>’ can be referenced using
|
the alias ‘<samp>%fp</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The stack pointer register ‘<samp>%o6</samp>’ can be referenced using
|
the alias ‘<samp>%sp</samp>’.
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>Floating point registers are simply referred to as ‘<samp>%f<var>n</var></samp>’.
|
When assembling for pre-V9, only 32 floating point registers
|
are available. For V9 and later there are 64, but there are
|
restrictions when referencing the upper 32 registers. They
|
can only be accessed as double or quad, and thus only even
|
or quad numbered accesses are allowed. For example, ‘<samp>%f34</samp>’
|
is a legal floating point register, but ‘<samp>%f35</samp>’ is not.
|
</p>
|
<p>Floating point registers accessed as double can also be referred using
|
the ‘<samp>%d<var>n</var></samp>’ notation, where <var>n</var> is even. Similarly,
|
floating point registers accessed as quad can be referred using the
|
‘<samp>%q<var>n</var></samp>’ notation, where <var>n</var> is a multiple of 4. For
|
example, ‘<samp>%f4</samp>’ can be denoted as both ‘<samp>%d4</samp>’ and ‘<samp>%q4</samp>’.
|
On the other hand, ‘<samp>%f2</samp>’ can be denoted as ‘<samp>%d2</samp>’ but not as
|
‘<samp>%q2</samp>’.
|
</p>
|
<p>Certain V9 instructions allow access to ancillary state registers.
|
Most simply they can be referred to as ‘<samp>%asr<var>n</var></samp>’ where
|
<var>n</var> can be from 16 to 31. However, there are some aliases
|
defined to reference ASR registers defined for various UltraSPARC
|
processors:
|
</p>
|
<ul>
|
<li> The tick compare register is referred to as ‘<samp>%tick_cmpr</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The system tick register is referred to as ‘<samp>%stick</samp>’. An alias,
|
‘<samp>%sys_tick</samp>’, exists but is deprecated and should not be used
|
by new software.
|
|
</li><li> The system tick compare register is referred to as ‘<samp>%stick_cmpr</samp>’.
|
An alias, ‘<samp>%sys_tick_cmpr</samp>’, exists but is deprecated and should
|
not be used by new software.
|
|
</li><li> The software interrupt register is referred to as ‘<samp>%softint</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The set software interrupt register is referred to as ‘<samp>%set_softint</samp>’.
|
The mnemonic ‘<samp>%softint_set</samp>’ is provided as an alias.
|
|
</li><li> The clear software interrupt register is referred to as
|
‘<samp>%clear_softint</samp>’. The mnemonic ‘<samp>%softint_clear</samp>’ is provided
|
as an alias.
|
|
</li><li> The performance instrumentation counters register is referred to as
|
‘<samp>%pic</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The performance control register is referred to as ‘<samp>%pcr</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The graphics status register is referred to as ‘<samp>%gsr</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V9 dispatch control register is referred to as ‘<samp>%dcr</samp>’.
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>Various V9 branch and conditional move instructions allow
|
specification of which set of integer condition codes to
|
test. These are referred to as ‘<samp>%xcc</samp>’ and ‘<samp>%icc</samp>’.
|
</p>
|
<p>Additionally, GAS supports the so-called “natural” condition codes;
|
these are referred to as ‘<samp>%ncc</samp>’ and reference to ‘<samp>%icc</samp>’ if
|
the word size is 32, ‘<samp>%xcc</samp>’ if the word size is 64.
|
</p>
|
<p>In V9, there are 4 sets of floating point condition codes
|
which are referred to as ‘<samp>%fcc<var>n</var></samp>’.
|
</p>
|
<p>Several special privileged and non-privileged registers
|
exist:
|
</p>
|
<ul>
|
<li> The V9 address space identifier register is referred to as ‘<samp>%asi</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V9 restorable windows register is referred to as ‘<samp>%canrestore</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V9 savable windows register is referred to as ‘<samp>%cansave</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V9 clean windows register is referred to as ‘<samp>%cleanwin</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V9 current window pointer register is referred to as ‘<samp>%cwp</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The floating-point queue register is referred to as ‘<samp>%fq</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V8 co-processor queue register is referred to as ‘<samp>%cq</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The floating point status register is referred to as ‘<samp>%fsr</samp>’.

|
|
</li><li> The V9 trap next program counter is referred to as ‘<samp>%tnpc</samp>’.

</li><li> The Y register is referred to as ‘<samp>%y</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V8 window invalid mask register is referred to as ‘<samp>%wim</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V8 processor state register is referred to as ‘<samp>%psr</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The V9 global register level register is referred to as ‘<samp>%gl</samp>’.
|
</li></ul>
|
|
<p>Several special register names exist for hypervisor mode code:
|
</p>
|
<ul>
|
<li> The hyperprivileged processor state register is referred to as
|
‘<samp>%hpstate</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The hyperprivileged trap state register is referred to as ‘<samp>%htstate</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The hyperprivileged interrupt pending register is referred to as

|

|
|
</li><li> The hyperprivileged system tick offset register is referred to as
|

|
the normal ‘<samp>%stick</samp>’ is used.
|
|
</li><li> The hyperprivileged system tick enable register is referred to as
|
‘<samp>%hstick_enable</samp>’.
|
|
</li><li> The hyperprivileged system tick compare register is referred
