Intel x86 and 64 manual vol 3

x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64, and Intel 64) is a 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set, first released in 1999. It introduced two new modes of operation, 64-bit mode and compatibility mode, along with a new 4-level paging mode. The x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual documents the syntax of the SolarisTM x86 assembly language. Note - In this document the term "x86" refers to 64-bit and 32-bit systems manufactured using processors compatible with the AMD64 or Intel Xeon/Pentium product families. This article describes how x86 and x86-64 instructions are encoded. An x86-64 instruction may be at most 15 bytes in length. It consists of the following components in the given order, where the prefixes are at the least-significant (lowest) address in memory: Legacy prefixes (1-4 bytes, optional). Intel processor with support for Intel VT-x, Intel EM64T (Intel 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality. Intel HAXM requires an Android x86 system image provided by Intel. These images can be downloaded through the Android SDK manager or manually from the Intel Developer Zone website. Add R_X86_64_SIZE32 and R_X86_64_SIZE64 relo-cations; extend meaning of e_phnum to handle more than Rather than replicate the entire contents of the Intel386 ABI, the AMD64 As the AMD64 manuals describe, the processor changes mode to handle excep-tions, which may be synchronous
