Registers

General-Purpose Registers

qword dword word high byte low byte  
rax eax ax ah al  
rbx ebx bx bh bl  
rcx ecx cx ch cl  
rdx edx dx dh dl  
rbp ebp bp bph bpl base pointer
rsp esp sp sph spl stack pointer
rsi esi si sih sil  
rdi edi di dih dil  
r8 r8d r8w      
… … …      
r15 r15d r15w      

Calling Convention

In 64-bit System V:

Argument 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 … return
Location rdi rsi rdx rcx r8 r9 r10 r11 [rsp] [rsp+8] … rax

Preserved registers: values of r12-r15, rbx, rsp, rbp are preserved across function calls.

System Call Convention

Linux syscall follows a slightly different convention to function calls (see man syscall):

In x86-64, the syscall number is passed using rax, and return value is stored in rax, and the registers used to pass the arguments are listed in the table below:

Argument 1 2 3 4 5 6 return
Location rdi rsi rdx r10 r8 r9 rax
