CHAPTER 1 HIGHLIGHTS The 80386 is a high performance 32-bit micropro- cessor designed to drive the most advanced computer-based applications of today and tomor- row. CAE( CAD workstations, high resolution graphics, publishing, and office and factory automation are representative of today's appli- cations that are well-served by the 80386.
HIGHLIGHTS porating all of these, the 80386 delivers the highest perfonnance of any currently available microprocessor. The 80386 is implemented in Intel's CHMOS III, a semiconductor process that combines the high frequency of HMOS with the modest power requirements of CMOS.
HIGHLIGHTS computes the address and definition of the next bus cycle during the current bus cycle. Address pipelining exposes this advance information to the memory subsystem, allowing one memory bank to decode the next bus cycle while another bank is responding to the current cycle.
HIGHTLIGTHS protection system and can therefore be used by all applications, including those that will run in production without protection. More impor- tantly, they provide the ability to set data breakpoints in addition to the more familiar instruction breakpoints.
Chapter 2 2 Application Architecture.

CHAPTER 2 APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE The 80386 provides the assembly language appli- cation programmer or compiler writer with an extensive set of 32-bit resources. The chapter describes these resources in three sections: I) registers, 2) memory and logical addressing, and 3) data types and instructions.
APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE prevent application programs from inadvertently altering the system flags. The 80386 Instruction Pointer, called EIP, is 32 bits wide. The Instruction Pointer controls instruc- tion fetching (including prefetching) and the processor automatically increments it after exe- cuting an instruction.

Numeric Coprocessor Registers 2.2 Memory and logical Addressing 80386 application programs use logical addresses to specify the locations of operands in a 4- gigabyte physical address space.
APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE logical address names a segment's descriptor. Conceptually, the processor determines a seg- ment's address by using the selector as an index into a descriptor table maintained by the operating system.
APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE current stack segment (defined by the SS register). To improve instruction encoding efficiency, most instructions do not name segment registers. Instead, the 80386 automatically selects a segment register based on the instruction being executed.
APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE Any or all of the base, index, and displacement variables can be used to compute an offset. The base and index variables are the values of general registers, while the displacement value is con- tained in the instruction. Any general register can serve as a base or index register.

APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE implements a "top of loop" test that allows the loop to be executed zero times. 2.3.3.3 Miscellaneous Instructions The 80386 Bound instruction can be used to verify that an array subscript is within the bounds of the array.

CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE The purpose of a system architecture is to support operating systems, but operating systems are quite diverse in their needs. In response, the 80386 provides an array of resources that operat- ing system designers and implementors can selectively employ.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE program is a text that describes an algorithm, and a task is one execution (performance) ofthat algorithm. The programs that tasks execute are designed as though they were to run o.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE the new task's Instruction Pointer. To later resume execution of the old task, the operating system issues a Jump TSS to the old task's TSS; execution of the old task then continues with the instruction following the Jump TSS that sus- pended the task.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE A selector is an index into a segment descriptor table; that is, it is a segment number. Each entry in a segment descriptor table contains the base address of a segment. The processor adds the offset to the segment's base address to produce a 32-bit linear address.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE address space to be a single entity shared by all tasks and the operating system itself; in other words, a single segment is shared system-wide.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE operating system must insert a descriptor for the segment into the G DT or into the task's LDT. In protected systems, the G DT and LDT can be made privileged structures so that only the operating system can modify them.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE and segment registers) from the new task's TSS on task switches. Tasks may share a segment in three ways (see Figure 3-5): 1. A segment whose descriptor is in the GDT is shared by all tasks. 2. Tasks that share an LOT share the segments described in the LOT; this approach is appropriate for closely cooperating tasks.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE of reference principle suggests that the new entry is likely to be used again in the near future. While enabling paging does not increase address translation time, it does make instruction execu- tion time vary slightly, due to the occasional TLB misses.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE infrequently, a virtual memory system will per- form nearly as well as one with far more memory at a fraction of the cost. The key architectural features needed to efficiently supp.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE When, in the course of translating a logical address, the processor produces a linear address that refers to a page table entry whose Present bit is reset, the processor raises an exception called a page fault.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE may take one of four values. Privilege level 0 is the most-privileged level and privilege level 3 is the least-privileged level. Figure 3-8 shows how the 80386 privilege levels can be used to establish different protection policies.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE 3.4.2 Privileged Instructions In addition to defining which segments and pages it can use, a task's privilege level defines the instructions it can execute. The 80386 has a number of instructions whose execution must be tightly controlled to prevent serious system disruption.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE 3.4.4 Page Protection Systems that do not make extensive use of segments can instead protect pages. (Page protec- tion can also be applied to sections of large segments.) Like a descriptor, a page table entry has a set of protection attributes; the 80386 checks every reference to the page for confor- mance to these attributes.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE allowed to call the service procedures but not the kernel; service procedures can, however, call the kernel. Accordingly, the operating system has provided a gate for the service procedures; the privilege level of this gate is 3 so user code can call through it.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE Thble 3-1., Exceptions ID Description 0 Divide Error Debug Exception 3 Software Breakpoint 4 Overflow 5 Array Bound Check 6 Invalid Opcode 7 Coprocessor Not Present 8 Double Fault 10 Invalid TSS 11 Segment Fault 12 Stack Under/ Overflow 13 General Protection Violation 14 Page Fault 16 Coprocessor Error 3.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE Ideally, interrupts should be handled by tasks, not procedures, because an interrupt is generally unrelated to the task it interrupts.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE Memory-mapped devices can be protected by the standard 80386 segment and page protection mechanisms. In addition to its memory address space, the 80386 has a 64 kilobyte I/O address space. Devices mapped into this space are manipulated with the Input, Output, Input String, and Output String instructions.

Chapter 4 4 Architectural Compatibility.
.
CHAPTER 4 ARCHITECTURAL COMPATIBILITY The 80386 is compatible at the object code level with both the 80286 and the 8086. While it is possible to use the 80386 simply as a fast 80286 or a very fast 8086, its compatibility facilities are substantially more versatile.
ARCHITECTURAL COMPATIBILITY Because the address space of an 8086 is one megabyte, the logical addresses generated by a Virtual 86 Mode task fall into the first megabyte of the 80386 linear address space. Multiple Virtual 86 Mode tasks could interfere with each other, since they would all share the low megabyte of the linear address space.

Chapter 5 5 Hardware Implementation.
.
CHAPTER 5 HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION The 80386 architecture described in the previous chapters is implemented in over 275,000 transis- tors using Intel's CHMOS III process. This chapter looks briefly inside the 80386 chip, and in more detail at the signals by which the 80386 and other components communicate.
HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION Pipelining instruction fetch, decode, and execu- tion units on a single chip is not unusual in modern microprocessors. On the other hand, placing the memory management unit (MMU) in the on-chip pipeline is quite unusual.
HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION pass through the page unit unaltered. When paging is enabled, the page unit translates linear addresses to physical addresses, and verifies that accesses are consistent with page attributes.
HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION and device drivers, the effective width of the data bus can be dynamically switched between 16 and 32 bits. This topic is discussed in a subsequent section. The 80386 instruction set supports 8-, 16-, and 32-bit transfers. The address bus is organized to directly specify the data bytes that are active in a given bus cycle.
HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION to provide two-clock access to high-speed cache and local memories of any size. (The effectiveness of a memory cache depends on its size relative to the reference patterns of the application.
HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION cannot respond in two clocks can stretch the bus cycle by holding READY inactive, that is, by inserting wait states into the cycle. When running back-to-back 32-bit bus cycles, the 80386's maxi- mum bus bandwidth is 32 megabytes per second at 16 MHz or 25 megabytes per second at 12.
HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION 5.2.5 Dynamic Bus Sizing In addition to controlling the timing of bus cycle definitions, the memory (and 1/0) subsystem can also dynamically control the effective size of the data bus.
HARDWARE IMPLEMENTATION WAIT instruction, which suspends the 80386 until BUSY goes inactive. The coprocessor asserts ERROR when it encounters an exception that should be handled by operating system so.

The addressing modes are optimized to allow the efficient execution of high level languages such as C and FORTRAN, and they cover the vast majority of data references needed by high-level languages.

80386 2.7 MEMORY ORGANIZATION 2.7.1 Introduction ~emory on the 80386 is divided up into 8-bit quanti- ties (bytes), 16-bit quantities (words), and 32-bit quantities (dwords). Words are stored in two consec- utive bytes in memory with the low-order byte at the lowest address, the high order byte at the high ad- dress.
80386 2.7.3 Segment Register Usage The main data structure used to organize memory is the segment. On the 386, segments are variable sized blocks of linear addresses which have certain attributes associated with them.
80386 The 1/0 ports are accessed via the IN and OUT 1/0 instructions, with the port address supplied as an immediate 8-bit constant in the instruction or in the OX register. All 8- and 16-bit port addresses are zero extended on the upper address lines.

80386 the processor to execute the interrupt service rou- tine pointed to by the nth vector in the interrupt ta- ble. A special case of the two byte software interrupt INT n is the one byte INT 3, or breakpoint interrupt. By inserting this one byte instruction in a program, the user can set breakpoints in his program as a debug- ging tool.
80386 2.9.7 Instruction Restart The 80386 fully supports restarting all instructions after faults. If an exception is detected in the instruc- tion to be executed (exception categories 4 through 10 in Table 2-6c), the 80386 invokes the appropriate exception service routine.
80386 2.11 TESTABILITY 2.11.1 Self-Test The 80386 has the capability to perform a self-test. The self-test checks the function of all of the Control ROM and most of the non-random logic of the part. Approximately one-half of the 80386 can be tested during self-test.

80386 3.3 RESERVED LOCATIONS There are two fixed areas in memory which are re- served in Real address mode: system initialization area and the interrupt table area. Locations OOOOOH through 003FFH are reserved for interrupt vectors. Each one of the 256 possible interrupts has a 4-byte jump vector reserved for it.
80386 4.2 ADDRESSING MECHANISM Like Real Mode, Protected Mode uses two compo- nents to form the logical address, a 16-bit selector is used to determine the linear base address of a seg- ment, the base address is added to a 32-bit effective address to form a 32-bit linear address.
80386 4.3 SEGMENTATION 4.3.1 Segmentation Introduction Segmentation is one method of memory manage- ment. Segmentation provides the basis for protec- tion.
inter 80386 4.3.3.2 GLOBAL DESCRIPTOR TABLE The Global Descriptor Table (GDT) contains de- scriptors which are possibly available to all of the tasks in a system. The GDT can contain any type of segment descriptor except for descriptors which are used for servicing interrupts (Le.
80386 attributes include the 32-bit base linear address of the segment, the 20-bit length and granularity of the segment, the protection level, read, write or execute privileges, the default size of the operands (16-bit or 32-bit), and the type of segment.
80386 Code and data segments have several descriptor fields in common. The accessed A bit is set whenev- er the processor accesses a descriptor. The A bit is used by operating systems to keep usage statistics on a given segment. The G bit, or granularity bit, specifies if a segment length is byte-granular or page-granular.
80386 4.3.4.4 LDT DESCRIPTORS (S = 0, TYPE = 2) LDT descriptors (S = 0 TYPE = 2) contain informa- tion about Local Descriptor Tables. LDTs contain a table of segment descriptors, unique to a particular task. Since the instruction to load the LDTR is only available at privilege level 0, the DPL field is ignored.
intJ 80386 Task gates are used to switch tasks. Task gates may only refer to a task state segment (see section 4.4.6 Task Switching) therefore only the destination selector portion of a task gate descriptor is used, and the destination offset is ignored.

inter 80386 4.3.4.10 SEGMENT DESCRIPTOR REGISTER SETTINGS The contents of the segment descriptor cache vary depending on the mode the 80386 is operating in. When operating in Real Address Mode, the segment base, limit, and other attributes within the segment cache registers are defined as shown in Figure 4-11 .
80386 When operating in Protected Mode, the segment base, limit, and other attributes within the segment cache registers are defined as shown in Figure 4-12. In Protected Mode, each of these fields are defined according to the contents of the segment descriptor indexed by the selector value loaded into the seg- ment register.
inter 80386 When operating in a Virtual 8086 Mode within the Protected Mode, the segment base, limit, and other attributes within the segment cache registers are de- fined as shown in Figure 4-13.

The 110 privilege level (IOPL) also affects whether several other instructions can be executed or cause an exception 13 fault instead. These instructions are called "IOPL·sensitive" instructions and they are CLI and STI.

80386 Address bits AO and A1 of the physical operand's base address can be created when necessary (for instance, for Multibus I or Multibus II interface), as a function of the lowest-order asserted Byte Enable. This is shown by Table 5-6. Logic to generate AO and A 1 is given by Figure 5-3.

intef 80386 Effect of asserting B516# during "upper half only" read cycles: Asserting B516# during "upper half only" reads causes the 80386 to read data on the lower 16 bits of the data bus and ignore data on the upper 16 bits of the data bus.

inter 80386 The definition of each bus cycle is given by three definition signals: M/IO#, W/R# and D/C#. At the same time, a valid address is present on the byte enable signals BEO # -BE3 # and other address sig- nals A2-A31. A status signal, ADS#, indicates when the 80386 issues a new bus cycle definition and address.
80386 The fastest 80386 bus cycle requires only two bus states. For example, three consecutive bus read cy- cles, each consisting of two bus states, are shown by Figure 5-8. The bus states in each cycle are named T1 and T2. Any memory or 1/0 address may be accessed by such a two-state bus cycle, if the external hardware is fast enough.
inter 80386 Pipelined address timing is useful in typical systems having address latches. In those systems, once an address has been latched, pipelined availability of the next address allows decoding.
inter 80386 5.4.3 Read and Write Cycles 5.4.3.1 INTRODUCTION Data transfers occur as a result of bus cycles, classi- fied as read or write cycles. During read cycles, data is transferred from an external device to the proces- sor. During write cycles data is transferred in the oth- er direction, from the processor to an external de- vice.
,/ / / 80386 At the end of the second bus state within the bus cycle, READY # is sampled. At that time, if external hardware acknowledges the bus cycle by asserting READY #, the bus cycle terminates as shown in Fig- ure 5-11.

inter 80386 5.4.3.3 NON·PIPELINED ADDRESS WITH DYNAMIC DATA BUS SIZING The physical data bus width for any non-pipelined bus cycle can be either 32-bits or 16-bits. At the beginning of the bus cycle, the processor behaves as if the data bus is 32-bits wide.

inter 80386 Certain types of 16-bit or 8-bit operands require no adjustment for correct transfer on a 16-bit bus. Those are read or write operands using only the low- er half of the data bus, and write operands using only the upper half of the bus since the 80386 simul- taneously duplicates the write data on the lower half of the data bus.
