SECTION
        mmo backend

        The mmo object format is used exclusively together with Professor
        Donald E.@: Knuth's educational 64-bit processor MMIX.  The simulator
        @command{mmix} which is available at
        @url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz}
        understands this format.  That package also includes a combined
        assembler and linker called @command{mmixal}.  The mmo format has
        no advantages feature-wise compared to e.g. ELF.  It is a simple
        non-relocatable object format with no support for archives or
        debugging information, except for symbol value information and
        line numbers (which is not yet implemented in BFD).  See
        @url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmix.html} for more
        information about MMIX.  The ELF format is used for intermediate
        object files in the BFD implementation.

@c We want to xref the symbol table node.  A feature in "chew"
@c requires that "commands" do not contain spaces in the
@c arguments.  Hence the hyphen in "Symbol-table".

SUBSECTION
        File layout

        The mmo file contents is not partitioned into named sections as
        with e.g.@: ELF.  Memory areas is formed by specifying the
        location of the data that follows.  Only the memory area
        @samp{0x0000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x01ff@dots{}ff} is executable, so
        it is used for code (and constants) and the area
        @samp{0x2000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x20ff@dots{}ff} is used for
        writable data.  @xref{mmo section mapping}.

        There is provision for specifying ``special data'' of 65536
        different types.  We use type 80 (decimal), arbitrarily chosen the
        same as the ELF <<e_machine>> number for MMIX, filling it with
        section information normally found in ELF objects. @xref{mmo
        section mapping}.

        Contents is entered as 32-bit words, xor:ed over previous
        contents, always zero-initialized.  A word that starts with the
        byte @samp{0x98} forms a command called a @samp{lopcode}, where
        the next byte distinguished between the thirteen lopcodes.  The
        two remaining bytes, called the @samp{Y} and @samp{Z} fields, or
        the @samp{YZ} field (a 16-bit big-endian number), are used for
        various purposes different for each lopcode.  As documented in
        @url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/mmixal-intro.ps.gz},
        the lopcodes are:

        @table @code
        @item lop_quote
        0x98000001.  The next word is contents, regardless of whether it
        starts with 0x98 or not.

        @item lop_loc
        0x9801YYZZ, where @samp{Z} is 1 or 2.  This is a location
        directive, setting the location for the next data to the next
        32-bit word (for @math{Z = 1}) or 64-bit word (for @math{Z = 2}),
        plus @math{Y * 2^56}.  Normally @samp{Y} is 0 for the text segment
        and 2 for the data segment.

        @item lop_skip
        0x9802YYZZ.  Increase the current location by @samp{YZ} bytes.

        @item lop_fixo
        0x9803YYZZ, where @samp{Z} is 1 or 2.  Store the current location
        as 64 bits into the location pointed to by the next 32-bit
        (@math{Z = 1}) or 64-bit (@math{Z = 2}) word, plus @math{Y *
        2^56}.

        @item lop_fixr
        0x9804YYZZ.  @samp{YZ} is stored into the current location plus
        @math{2 - 4 * YZ}.

        @item lop_fixrx
        0x980500ZZ.  @samp{Z} is 16 or 24.  A value @samp{L} derived from
        the following 32-bit word are used in a manner similar to
        @samp{YZ} in lop_fixr: it is xor:ed into the current location
        minus @math{4 * L}.  The first byte of the word is 0 or 1.  If it
        is 1, then @math{L = (@var{lowest 24 bits of word}) - 2^Z}, if 0,
        then @math{L = (@var{lowest 24 bits of word})}.

        @item lop_file
        0x9806YYZZ.  @samp{Y} is the file number, @samp{Z} is count of
        32-bit words.  Set the file number to @samp{Y} and the line
        counter to 0.  The next @math{Z * 4} bytes contain the file name,
        padded with zeros if the count is not a multiple of four.  The
        same @samp{Y} may occur multiple times, but @samp{Z} must be 0 for
        all but the first occurrence.

        @item lop_line
        0x9807YYZZ.  @samp{YZ} is the line number.  Together with
        lop_file, it forms the source location for the next 32-bit word.
        Note that for each non-lopcode 32-bit word, line numbers are
        assumed incremented by one.

        @item lop_spec
        0x9808YYZZ.  @samp{YZ} is the type number.  Data until the next
        lopcode other than lop_quote forms special data of type @samp{YZ}.
        @xref{mmo section mapping}.

        Other types than 80, (or type 80 with a content that does not
        parse) is stored in sections named <<.MMIX.spec_data.@var{n}>>
        where @var{n} is the @samp{YZ}-type.  The flags for such a
        sections say not to allocate or load the data.  The vma is 0.
        Contents of multiple occurrences of special data @var{n} is
        concatenated to the data of the previous lop_spec @var{n}s.  The
        location in data or code at which the lop_spec occurred is lost.

        @item lop_pre
        0x980901ZZ.  The first lopcode in a file.  The @samp{Z} field forms the
        length of header information in 32-bit words, where the first word
        tells the time in seconds since @samp{00:00:00 GMT Jan 1 1970}.

        @item lop_post
        0x980a00ZZ.  @math{Z > 32}.  This lopcode follows after all
        content-generating lopcodes in a program.  The @samp{Z} field
        denotes the value of @samp{rG} at the beginning of the program.
        The following @math{256 - Z} big-endian 64-bit words are loaded
        into global registers @samp{$G} @dots{} @samp{$255}.

        @item lop_stab
        0x980b0000.  The next-to-last lopcode in a program.  Must follow
        immediately after the lop_post lopcode and its data.  After this
        lopcode follows all symbols in a compressed format
        (@pxref{Symbol-table}).

        @item lop_end
        0x980cYYZZ.  The last lopcode in a program.  It must follow the
        lop_stab lopcode and its data.  The @samp{YZ} field contains the
        number of 32-bit words of symbol table information after the
        preceding lop_stab lopcode.
        @end table

        Note that the lopcode "fixups"; <<lop_fixr>>, <<lop_fixrx>> and
        <<lop_fixo>> are not generated by BFD, but are handled.  They are
        generated by <<mmixal>>.

EXAMPLE
        This trivial one-label, one-instruction file:

| :Main TRAP 1,2,3

        can be represented this way in mmo:

| 0x98090101 - lop_pre, one 32-bit word with timestamp.
| <timestamp>
| 0x98010002 - lop_loc, text segment, using a 64-bit address.
|              Note that mmixal does not emit this for the file above.
| 0x00000000 - Address, high 32 bits.
| 0x00000000 - Address, low 32 bits.
| 0x98060002 - lop_file, 2 32-bit words for file-name.
| 0x74657374 - "test"
| 0x2e730000 - ".s\0\0"
| 0x98070001 - lop_line, line 1.
| 0x00010203 - TRAP 1,2,3
| 0x980a00ff - lop_post, setting $255 to 0.
| 0x00000000
| 0x00000000
| 0x980b0000 - lop_stab for ":Main" = 0, serial 1.
| 0x203a4040   @xref{Symbol-table}.
| 0x10404020
| 0x4d206120
| 0x69016e00
| 0x81000000
| 0x980c0005 - lop_end; symbol table contained five 32-bit words.  */

        From mmixal.w (or really, the generated mmixal.tex) in
        @url{http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/mmix.tar.gz}):
        ``Symbols are stored and retrieved by means of a @samp{ternary
        search trie}, following ideas of Bentley and Sedgewick. (See
        ACM--SIAM Symp.@: on Discrete Algorithms @samp{8} (1997), 360--369;
        R.@:Sedgewick, @samp{Algorithms in C} (Reading, Mass.@:
        Addison--Wesley, 1998), @samp{15.4}.)  Each trie node stores a
        character, and there are branches to subtries for the cases where
        a given character is less than, equal to, or greater than the
        character in the trie.  There also is a pointer to a symbol table
        entry if a symbol ends at the current node.''

        So it's a tree encoded as a stream of bytes.  The stream of bytes
        acts on a single virtual global symbol, adding and removing
        characters and signalling complete symbol points.  Here, we read
        the stream and create symbols at the completion points.

        First, there's a control byte <<m>>.  If any of the listed bits
        in <<m>> is nonzero, we execute what stands at the right, in
        the listed order:

| (MMO3_LEFT)
| 0x40 - Traverse left trie.
|        (Read a new command byte and recurse.)
|
| (MMO3_SYMBITS)
| 0x2f - Read the next byte as a character and store it in the
|        current character position; increment character position.
|        Test the bits of <<m>>:
|
|        (MMO3_WCHAR)
|        0x80 - The character is 16-bit (so read another byte,
|               merge into current character.
|
|        (MMO3_TYPEBITS)
|        0xf  - We have a complete symbol; parse the type, value
|               and serial number and do what should be done
|               with a symbol.  The type and length information
|               is in j = (m & 0xf).
|
|               (MMO3_REGQUAL_BITS)
|               j == 0xf: A register variable.  The following
|                         byte tells which register.
|               j <= 8:   An absolute symbol.  Read j bytes as the
|                         big-endian number the symbol equals.
|                         A j = 2 with two zero bytes denotes an
|                         unknown symbol.
|               j > 8:    As with j <= 8, but add (0x20 << 56)
|                         to the value in the following j - 8
|                         bytes.
|
|               Then comes the serial number, as a variant of
|               uleb128, but better named ubeb128:
|               Read bytes and shift the previous value left 7
|               (multiply by 128).  Add in the new byte, repeat
|               until a byte has bit 7 set.  The serial number
|               is the computed value minus 128.
|
|        (MMO3_MIDDLE)
|        0x20 - Traverse middle trie.  (Read a new command byte
|               and recurse.)  Decrement character position.
|
| (MMO3_RIGHT)
| 0x10 - Traverse right trie.  (Read a new command byte and
|        recurse.)

        Let's look again at the <<lop_stab>> for the trivial file
        (@pxref{File layout}).

| 0x980b0000 - lop_stab for ":Main" = 0, serial 1.
| 0x203a4040
| 0x10404020
| 0x4d206120
| 0x69016e00
| 0x81000000

        This forms the trivial trie (note that the path between ``:'' and
        ``M'' is redundant):

| 203a     ":"
| 40       /
| 40      /
| 10      \
| 40      /
| 40     /
| 204d  "M"
| 2061  "a"
| 2069  "i"
| 016e  "n" is the last character in a full symbol, and
|       with a value represented in one byte.
| 00    The value is 0.
| 81    The serial number is 1.  */

SUBSECTION
        mmo section mapping

        The implementation in BFD uses special data type 80 (decimal) to
        encapsulate and describe named sections, containing e.g.@: debug
        information.  If needed, any datum in the encapsulation will be
        quoted using lop_quote.  First comes a 32-bit word holding the
        number of 32-bit words containing the zero-terminated zero-padded
        segment name.  After the name there's a 32-bit word holding flags
        describing the section type.  Then comes a 64-bit big-endian word
        with the section length (in bytes), then another with the section
        start address.  Depending on the type of section, the contents
        might follow, zero-padded to 32-bit boundary.  For a loadable
        section (such as data or code), the contents might follow at some
        later point, not necessarily immediately, as a lop_loc with the
        same start address as in the section description, followed by the
        contents.  This in effect forms a descriptor that must be emitted
        before the actual contents.  Sections described this way must not
        overlap.

        For areas that don't have such descriptors, synthetic sections are
        formed by BFD.  Consecutive contents in the two memory areas
        @samp{0x0000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x01ff@dots{}ff} and
        @samp{0x2000@dots{}00} to @samp{0x20ff@dots{}ff} are entered in
        sections named <<.text>> and <<.data>> respectively.  If an area
        is not otherwise described, but would together with a neighboring
        lower area be less than @samp{0x40000000} bytes long, it is joined
        with the lower area and the gap is zero-filled.  For other cases,
        a new section is formed, named <<.MMIX.sec.@var{n}>>.  Here,
        @var{n} is a number, a running count through the mmo file,
        starting at 0.

EXAMPLE
        A loadable section specified as:

| .section secname,"ax"
| TETRA 1,2,3,4,-1,-2009
| BYTE 80

        and linked to address @samp{0x4}, is represented by the sequence:

| 0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
| 0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
| 0x7365636e - "secn"
| 0x616d6500 - "ame\0"
| 0x00000033 - flags CODE, READONLY, LOAD, ALLOC
| 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
| 0x0000001c - section length is 28 bytes; 6 * 4 + 1 + alignment to 32 bits
| 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section address
| 0x00000004 - section address is 4
| 0x98010002 - 64 bits with address of following data
| 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of address
| 0x00000004 - low 32 bits: data starts at address 4
| 0x00000001 - 1
| 0x00000002 - 2
| 0x00000003 - 3
| 0x00000004 - 4
| 0xffffffff - -1
| 0xfffff827 - -2009
| 0x50000000 - 80 as a byte, padded with zeros.

        Note that the lop_spec wrapping does not include the section
        contents.  Compare this to a non-loaded section specified as:

| .section thirdsec
| TETRA 200001,100002
| BYTE 38,40

        This, when linked to address @samp{0x200000000000001c}, is
        represented by:

| 0x98080050 - lop_spec 80
| 0x00000002 - two 32-bit words for the section name
| 0x7365636e - "thir"
| 0x616d6500 - "dsec"
| 0x00000010 - flag READONLY
| 0x00000000 - high 32 bits of section length
| 0x0000000c - section length is 12 bytes; 2 * 4 + 2 + alignment to 32 bits
| 0x20000000 - high 32 bits of address
| 0x0000001c - low 32 bits of address 0x200000000000001c
| 0x00030d41 - 200001
| 0x000186a2 - 100002
| 0x26280000 - 38, 40 as bytes, padded with zeros

        For the latter example, the section contents must not be
        loaded in memory, and is therefore specified as part of the
        special data.  The address is usually unimportant but might
        provide information for e.g.@: the DWARF 2 debugging format.  */
