MIPS 基础内容

这里以 MIPS32 为基础作为介绍内容。

0x01 寄存器

(1)通用寄存器

MIPS 有 32 个通用寄存器 (General purpose registers),以美元符号 ($) 表示。可以表示为 $0~$31,也可以用寄存器名称表示如,$sp$t9$fp 等等。

Register Number Conventional Name Usage Usage
$0 $zero Hard-wired to 0
$1 $at Reserved for pseudo-instructions
$2 - $3 $v0, $v1 Return values from functions 保存表达式或者函数返回值
$4 - $7 $a0 - $a3 Arguments to functions - not preserved by subprograms 函数的参数
$8 - $15 $t0 - $t7 Temporary data, not preserved by subprograms
$16 - $23 $s0 - $s7 Saved registers, preserved by subprograms
$24 - $25 $t8 - $t9 More temporary registers, not preserved by subprograms 临时寄存器,作为 $t0 - t7 的补充,t9 通常与调用函数有关
$26 - $27 $k0 - $k1 Reserved for kernel. Do not use.
$28 $gp Global Area Pointer (base of global data segment)

MIPS 作为一种 load-store 架构,意味着当我们要访问内存必须要通过加载和存储指令才能访问。所有其他指令(add,sub,mul,div等等)必须从寄存器获取其操作数并将其结果存储在寄存器中。例如下面的例子:

    sum = x + y

我们假设 sum 和 x , y 是程序中的变量,其 MIPS 汇编表示为:

    # sum = x + y
    lw      $t0, x          # Load x from memory into a CPU register
    lw      $t1, y          # Load y from memory into a CPU register
    add     $t0, $t0, $t1   # Add x and y
    sw      $t0, sum        # Store the result from the CPU register to memory

(2)特殊寄存器

MIPS32 架构还定义了3个特殊寄存器,分别是 PC(程序计数器)、HI (乘除结果高位寄存器)和 LO (乘除结果低位寄存器)。在进行乘运算的时候,HI 和 LO 保存乘法的结果,其中 HI 保存高32位,LO 保存低32位。而在除法运算中,HI 保存余数,LO 保存商。
