<h3 id="1-5-marks-recursion-in-x86-64-assembly-code">1) [5 marks] Recursion in x86-64 assembly code</h3>
<p>In this problem, you are asked to rewrite the mul function you wrote in Assisgnment 4. This
time, instead of using a loop, you are to use recursion. In doing so, you must use the stack (so
we can get some practice), either by pushing/popping or by getting a section of it (e.g., subq
$24, %rsp) and releasing it (e.g., addq $24, %rsp) at the end of your program.
Yes, it is certainly possible to recursively implement mul without saving the values of the
argument registers (edi and esi) onto the stack. However, for practice’s sake, let’s save them
onto the stack as stated in the question.
Use your files from Assignment 4: main.c, makefile and calculator.s. Then, copy
the following and paste it over (replace) your entire mul function in calculator.s:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>mul: # performs integer multiplication - when both operands
are non-negative!
# x in edi, y in esi
# You can assume that both parameters are non-negative.
# Requirements:
# - cannot use imul* instruction
#
(or any kind of instruction that multiplies such as mul)
# - you must use recursion (no loop) and the stack
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>Implement this mul function satisfying its new requirements (above in green). You must
also satisfy the requirements below.</p>
<h2 id="requirements">Requirements:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Your code must be commented such that others (i.e., TA’s) can read your code and
understand what each instruction does.
<ul>
<li>About comments:
<ul>
<li>Comment of Type 1: Here is an example of a useful comment: cmpl %edx, %r8d # loop while j &lt; N</li>
<li>Comment of Type 2: Here is an example of a not so useful comment: cmpl %edx, %r8d # compare %edx with %r8d</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Do you see the difference? Make sure you write comments of Type 1.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Make sure you update the header comment block in calculator.s.</li>
<li>You must use the makefile provided in Assignment 4 when compiling your code. This makefile cannot be modified.</li>
<li>You cannot modify the prototype of the function mul. The reason is that your code may be tested using a test driver built based on this function prototype.</li>
<li>Your code <strong>must</strong> compile (using gcc) on our target machine and execute on our target machine.</li>
<li>You must follow the x86-64 function call and register saving conventions described in class and in the textbook.</li>
<li>Do not push/pop registers unless you make use of them in your function mul and
their content needs to be preseved. Memory accesses are expensive! We’ll soon see why!</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="submission-1">Submission:</h2>
<p>Once your new calculator.s compiles, executes and has been tested (i.e., it
multiplies) on our target machine, copy and paste the entire content of your new
calculator.s in this assignment (yes, it will still have the other functions you
implemented in Assignment 4 in it – that is OK!).</p>
<h2 id="2-13-marks-manipulating-2d-arrays-matrices-in-x86-64-assembly-code">2) [13 marks] Manipulating 2D arrays (matrices) in x86-64 assembly code</h2>
<p>In linear algebra, a matrix is a rectangular grid of numbers. Its dimensions are specified by its
number of rows and of columns. This question focuses on the representation and
manipulation of square matrices, i.e., where the number of rows and the number of columns
both equal n.
Here is an example of a square matrix where n = 4:</p>

Each row
of the matrix A resembles a one dimensional array in the programming language C, with the
value of j increasing for each element. The matrix A has i such rows.
Because of this resemblance, matrices can be represented (modeled) in our C programs using
two dimensional arrays. One dimensional arrays are stored in contiguous memory space,
where their element 0 is followed by their element 1 which is followed by their element 2,
etc… Two-dimensional arrays follow a similar pattern when stored in memory: the one row
following the other. In other words, the elements from row 0 are followed by the elements
from row 1, which are followed by elements of row 2, and so on. Thus, a two dimensional
array, representing a n x n matrix, has <span class="katex"><span class="katex-mathml"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>n</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">n^{2}</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.8141079999999999em;vertical-align:0em;"></span><span class="mord"><span class="mord mathnormal">n</span><span class="msupsub"><span class="vlist-t"><span class="vlist-r"><span class="vlist" style="height:0.8141079999999999em;"><span style="top:-3.063em;margin-right:0.05em;"><span class="pstrut" style="height:2.7em;"></span><span class="sizing reset-size6 size3 mtight"><span class="mord mtight"><span class="mord mtight">2</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> elements, and the base pointer A, contains the

In this question, you are asked to rotate a matrix 90 degrees clockwise. One way to do this is
to first transpose the matrix then to reverse its columns.
Wikipedia says that, in linear algebra, the transpose of a matrix is an operator which flips a
matrix over its diagonal, i.e., it switches the row and column indices of the matrix by

<p>We reverse the columns of the transpose matrix AT, by swapping the last column with the

Using the same example as above, here is what AT looks like once it has been reversed. We
call this final matrix A’:</p>

<p>As you can see, A’ is the rotated version of A (A has been rotated by 90 degrees clockwise).</p>
<p>Your task is to implement these two functions in x86-64 assembly code:</p>
<ul>
<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">void transpose(void *, int );</code></li>
<li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">void reverseColumns(void *, int n);</code></li>
</ul>
<p>When they are called in this order, using a two dimensional array as their first argument, the
effect will be to rotate this array by 90 degrees clockwise.</p>
<p>Download Assn6-Files_Q3.zip, expand it and open the files (makefile, main.c
and an incomplete matrix.s. ). Have a look at main.c and notice its content. Have a look
at matrix.s. It contains functions manipulating matrices such as copy, transpose and reverseColumns. You need to complete the implementation of the functions
transpose and reverseColumns. The function copy has already been implemented
for you. You may find hand tracing its code useful. You may also want to have a look at the
video recording of Lecture 22 Part 1 posted on our course web site in which the code of the
copy function copy.s is explained. Finally, you may want to “make” the given code and see
what it does.</p>
<h2 id="requirements-1">Requirements:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Your code must be commented such that others (i.e., TA’s) can read your code and
understand what each instruction does.</li>
<li>About comments:
<ul>
<li>Comment of Type 1: Here is an example of a useful comment:
cmpl %edx, %r8d # loop while j &lt; N</li>
<li>Comment of Type 2: Here is an example of a not so useful comment:
cmpl %edx, %r8d # compare %edx with %r8d
Do you see the difference? Make sure you write comments of Type 1.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>You must add a header comment block to the file matrix.s. This header comment
block must include the filename, the purpose/description of its functions, your name, your student number and the date.</li>
<li>You must use the makefile provided when compiling your code. This makefile cannot
be modified.</li>
<li>You cannot modify the code that has been supplied to you in the zip file. This signifies
that, amongst other things, you must not change the prototype of the functions given. The reason is that these functions may be tested using a test driver built based on
these function prototypes.</li>
<li>Your code must compile (using gcc) on our target machine and execute on our target machine. Your code must also solve the problem, i.e., rotate the array by 90 degrees clockwise.</li>
<li>You must follow the x86-64 function call and register saving conventions described in class and in the textbook.</li>
<li>Do not push/pop registers unless you make use of them in your functions and their content needs to be preseved.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="submission-2">Submission:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Electronically submit your file matrix.s via CourSys.</li>
<li>Also copy and paste the entire content of your matrix.s in this assignment. Make
sure it is the same version of matrix.s that compiles and executes on our target
machine.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="3-2-marks-experimenting-with-stack-randomization">3) [2 marks] Experimenting with Stack Randomization</h2>
<p>We saw inn Lecture 22 that one of the ways to counter buffer overflow attacks was to use
compilers (like gcc for Linux) that implemented “safety” mechanisms such as Stack
Randomization. On way the compiler does this stack randomization is by assigning a different
start address to the stack every time a program execxutes. This changing start address to the
stack makes it difficult for hackers to predict the location of return addresses on the stack.</p>
<p>Before you proceed with this question, make sure you read Section 3.10.4 in our textbook
and review our course lecture notes on this topic.</p>
<p>In this assignment you are asked to confirm or disprove the fact that gcc does implement
Stack Randomization by running your own experiement as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Download from our course web site (see Lecture 22) the password program
(password.c) we saw as part of our Lecture 22 demo.</li>
<li>Add a statement that prints the memory address of the first byte of the array
password.</li>
<li>Execute your program 10 times and record the addresses at which this local variable
array is stored on the stack.</li>
<li>Then state your conclusion and support it with your experiential results.</li>
<li>Finally, calculate the range of variance in the memory addresses you obtained (if
any) over the 10 executions of your program.</li>
<li>Copy the content of your password.c into this assignment (into this
Assignment_6.pdf document).</li>
</ul>

<p>Have a look at Slide 5 of our Lecture 18. As you hand trace the code, comment each line
explaining what each instruction does and why?</p>
<p>Here is an example:</p>
<p>pushq %r13 # main function needs to use registers for temporary storage so it saves the
original value of the callee saved register %r13 so it can make use of it.</p>

<p>Have a look at Slide 6 of our Lecture 20.</p>
<ol>
<li>Hand trace the C code of the function countOnesR(…) and figure out what it does.
Feel free to use the second test case on Slide 13 (of our Lecture 20) as you are hand
tracing the code.</li>
<li>Hand trace its assembly code and as you do so, draw its stack diagram on Slide 14. Feel
free to use the Register Table, if you find it useful.</li>
<li>Create a third test case following the same format as the format used on Slide 13.</li>
