+@cindex s390 support
+
+The s390 version of @code{@value{AS}} supports two architectures modes
+and seven chip levels. The architecture modes are the Enterprise System
+Architecture (ESA) and the newer z/Architecture mode. The chip levels
+are g5, g6, z900, z990, z9-109, z9-ec, z10, z196, and zEC12.

+
+@table @code
+@cindex @samp{-m31} option, s390
+@cindex @samp{-m64} option, s390
+@item -m31 | -m64
+Select 31- or 64-bit ABI implying a word size of 32- or 64-bit.
+
+These options are only available with the ELF object file format, and
+require that the necessary BFD support has been included (on a 31-bit
+platform you must add --enable-64-bit-bfd on the call to the configure
+script to enable 64-bit usage and use s390x as target platform).
+
+@cindex @samp{-mesa} option, s390
+@cindex @samp{-mzarch} option, s390
+@item -mesa | -mzarch
+Select the architecture mode, either the Enterprise System Architecture
+(esa) mode or the z/Architecture mode (zarch).
+
+The 64-bit instructions are only available with the z/Architecture mode.
+The combination of @samp{-m64} and @samp{-mesa} results in a warning
+message.
+
+@cindex @samp{-march=} option, s390
+@item -march=@var{CPU}
+This option specifies the target processor. The following processor names
+are recognized:
+@code{g5},
+@code{g6},
+@code{z900},
+@code{z990},
+@code{z9-109},
+@code{z9-ec},
+@code{z10} and
+@code{z196}.
+Assembling an instruction that is not supported on the target processor
+results in an error message. Do not specify @code{g5} or @code{g6}
+with @samp{-mzarch}.
+
+@cindex @samp{-mregnames} option, s390
+@item -mregnames
+Allow symbolic names for registers.
+
+@cindex @samp{-mno-regnames} option, s390
+@item -mno-regnames
+Do not allow symbolic names for registers.
+
+@cindex @samp{-mwarn-areg-zero} option, s390
+@item -mwarn-areg-zero
+Warn whenever the operand for a base or index register has been specified
+but evaluates to zero. This can indicate the misuse of general purpose
+register 0 as an address register.

+@cindex s390 register naming
+
+The @code{@value{AS}} recognizes a number of predefined symbols for the
+various processor registers. A register specification in one of the
+instruction formats is an unsigned integer between 0 and 15. The specific
+instruction and the position of the register in the instruction format
+denotes the type of the register. The register symbols are prefixed with
+@samp{%}:
+
+@display
+@multitable {%rN} {the 16 general purpose registers, 0 <= N <= 15}
+@item %rN @tab the 16 general purpose registers, 0 <= N <= 15
+@item %fN @tab the 16 floating point registers, 0 <= N <= 15
+@item %aN @tab the 16 access registers, 0 <= N <= 15
+@item %cN @tab the 16 control registers, 0 <= N <= 15

+@node s390 Mnemonics
+@subsection Instruction Mnemonics
+@cindex instruction mnemonics, s390
+@cindex s390 instruction mnemonics
+
+All instructions documented in the Principles of Operation are supported
+with the mnemonic and order of operands as described.
+The instruction mnemonic identifies the instruction format
+(@ref{s390 Formats}) and the specific operation code for the instruction.
+For example, the @samp{lr} mnemonic denotes the instruction format @samp{RR}
+with the operation code @samp{0x18}.
+
+The definition of the various mnemonics follows a scheme, where the first
+character usually hint at the type of the instruction:
+
+@display
+@multitable {sla, sll} {if r is the last character the instruction operates on registers}
+@item a @tab add instruction, for example @samp{al} for add logical 32-bit
+@item b @tab branch instruction, for example @samp{bc} for branch on condition
+@item c @tab compare or convert instruction, for example @samp{cr} for compare
+register 32-bit
+@item d @tab divide instruction, for example @samp{dlr} devide logical register
+64-bit to 32-bit
+@item i @tab insert instruction, for example @samp{ic} insert character
+@item l @tab load instruction, for example @samp{ltr} load and test register
+@item mv @tab move instruction, for example @samp{mvc} move character
+@item m @tab multiply instruction, for example @samp{mh} multiply halfword
+@item n @tab and instruction, for example @samp{ni} and immediate
+@item o @tab or instruction, for example @samp{oc} or character
+@item sla, sll @tab shift left single instruction
+@item sra, srl @tab shift right single instruction
+@item st @tab store instruction, for example @samp{stm} store multiple
+@item s @tab subtract instruction, for example @samp{slr} subtract
+logical 32-bit
+@item t @tab test or translate instruction, of example @samp{tm} test under mask
+@item x @tab exclusive or instruction, for example @samp{xc} exclusive or
+character
+@end multitable
+@end display
+
+Certain characters at the end of the mnemonic may describe a property
+of the instruction:
+
+@display
+@multitable {c} {if r is the last character the instruction operates on registers}
+@item c @tab the instruction uses a 8-bit character operand
+@item f @tab the instruction extends a 32-bit operand to 64 bit
+@item g @tab the operands are treated as 64-bit values
+@item h @tab the operand uses a 16-bit halfword operand
+@item i @tab the instruction uses an immediate operand
+@item l @tab the instruction uses unsigned, logical operands
+@item m @tab the instruction uses a mask or operates on multiple values
+@item r @tab if r is the last character, the instruction operates on registers
+@item y @tab the instruction uses 20-bit displacements
+@end multitable
+@end display
+
+There are many exceptions to the scheme outlined in the above lists, in
+particular for the priviledged instructions. For non-priviledged
+instruction it works quite well, for example the instruction @samp{clgfr}
+c: compare instruction, l: unsigned operands, g: 64-bit operands,
+f: 32- to 64-bit extension, r: register operands. The instruction compares
+an 64-bit value in a register with the zero extended 32-bit value from
+a second register.
+For a complete list of all mnemonics see appendix B in the Principles
+of Operation.
+
+@node s390 Operands
+@subsection Instruction Operands
+@cindex instruction operands, s390
+@cindex s390 instruction operands
+
+Instruction operands can be grouped into three classes, operands located
+in registers, immediate operands, and operands in storage.
+
+A register operand can be located in general, floating-point, access,
+or control register. The register is identified by a four-bit field.
+The field containing the register operand is called the R field.
+
+Immediate operands are contained within the instruction and can have
+8, 16 or 32 bits. The field containing the immediate operand is called
+the I field. Dependent on the instruction the I field is either signed
+or unsigned.
+
+A storage operand consists of an address and a length. The address of a
+storage operands can be specified in any of these ways:
+
+@itemize
+@item The content of a single general R
+@item The sum of the content of a general register called the base
+register B plus the content of a displacement field D
+@item The sum of the contents of two general registers called the
+index register X and the base register B plus the content of a
+displacement field
+@item The sum of the current instruction address and a 32-bit signed
+immediate field multiplied by two.
+@end itemize
+
+The length of a storage operand can be:
+
+@itemize
+@item Implied by the instruction
+@item Specified by a bitmask
+@item Specified by a four-bit or eight-bit length field L
+@item Specified by the content of a general register
+@end itemize
+
+The notation for storage operand addresses formed from multiple fields is
+as follows:
+
+@table @code
+@item Dn(Bn)
+the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
+register Bn called the base register and the displacement field Dn.
+@item Dn(Xn,Bn)
+the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
+register Xn called the index register, general register Bn called the
+base register and the displacement field Dn.
+@item Dn(Ln,Bn)
+the address for operand number n is formed from the content of general
+regiser Bn called the base register and the displacement field Dn.
+The length of the operand n is specified by the field Ln.
+@end table
+
+The base registers Bn and the index registers Xn of a storage operand can
+be skipped. If Bn and Xn are skipped, a zero will be stored to the operand
+field. The notation changes as follows:
+
+@display
+@multitable @columnfractions 0.30 0.30
+@headitem full notation @tab short notation
+@item Dn(0,Bn) @tab Dn(Bn)
+@item Dn(0,0) @tab Dn
+@item Dn(0) @tab Dn
+@item Dn(Ln,0) @tab Dn(Ln)
+@end multitable
+@end display
+
+
+@node s390 Formats
+@subsection Instruction Formats
+@cindex instruction formats, s390
+@cindex s390 instruction formats
+
+The Principles of Operation manuals lists 26 instruction formats where
+some of the formats have multiple variants. For the @samp{.insn}
+pseudo directive the assembler recognizes some of the formats.
+Typically, the most general variant of the instruction format is used
+by the @samp{.insn} directive.
+
+The following table lists the abbreviations used in the table of
+instruction formats:
+
+@display
+@multitable {OpCode / OpCd} {Displacement lower 12 bits for operand x.}
+@item OpCode / OpCd @tab Part of the op code.
+@item Bx @tab Base register number for operand x.
+@item Dx @tab Displacement for operand x.
+@item DLx @tab Displacement lower 12 bits for operand x.
+@item DHx @tab Displacement higher 8-bits for operand x.
+@item Rx @tab Register number for operand x.
+@item Xx @tab Index register number for operand x.
+@item Ix @tab Signed immediate for operand x.
+@item Ux @tab Unsigned immediate for operand x.
+@end multitable
+@end display
+
+An instruction is two, four, or six bytes in length and must be aligned
+on a 2 byte boundary. The first two bits of the instruction specify the
+length of the instruction, 00 indicates a two byte instruction, 01 and 10
+indicates a four byte instruction, and 11 indicates a six byte instruction.
+
+The following table lists the s390 instruction formats that are available

+A specific bit pattern can have multiple mnemonics, for example

+@samp{tmlh}. In addition, there are a number of mnemonics recognized by
+@code{@value{AS}} that are not present in the Principles of Operation.
+These are the short forms of the branch instructions, where the condition
+code mask operand is encoded in the mnemonic. This is relevant for the
+branch instructions, the compare and branch instructions, and the
+compare and trap instructions.
+
+For the branch instructions there are 20 condition code strings that can

+@cindex s390 instruction operand modifier
+
+If a symbol modifier is attached to a symbol in an expression for an
+instruction operand field, the symbol term is replaced with a reference
+to an object in the global offset table (GOT) or the procedure linkage
+table (PLT). The following expressions are allowed:
+@samp{symbol@@modifier + constant},
+@samp{symbol@@modifier + label + constant}, and
+@samp{symbol@@modifier - label + constant}.
+The term @samp{symbol} is the symbol that will be entered into the GOT or
+PLT, @samp{label} is a local label, and @samp{constant} is an arbitrary
+expression that the assembler can evaluate to a constant value.
+
+The term @samp{(symbol + constant1)@@modifier +/- label + constant2}
+is also accepted but a warning message is printed and the term is
+converted to @samp{symbol@@modifier +/- label + constant1 + constant2}.
+
+@table @code
+@item @@got
+@itemx @@got12
+The @@got modifier can be used for displacement fields, 16-bit immediate
+fields and 32-bit pc-relative immediate fields. The @@got12 modifier is
+synonym to @@got. The symbol is added to the GOT. For displacement
+fields and 16-bit immediate fields the symbol term is replaced with
+the offset from the start of the GOT to the GOT slot for the symbol.
+For a 32-bit pc-relative field the pc-relative offset to the GOT
+slot from the current instruction address is used.
+@item @@gotent
+The @@gotent modifier can be used for 32-bit pc-relative immediate fields.

+@cindex s390 literal pool entries
+
+A literal pool is a collection of values. To access the values a pointer
+to the literal pool is loaded to a register, the literal pool register.
+Usually, register %r13 is used as the literal pool register
+(@ref{s390 Register}). Literal pool entries are created by adding the
+suffix :lit1, :lit2, :lit4, or :lit8 to the end of an expression for an
+instruction operand. The expression is added to the literal pool and the
+operand is replaced with the offset to the literal in the literal pool.
+
+@table @code
+@item :lit1
+The literal pool entry is created as an 8-bit value. An operand modifier
+must not be used for the original expression.
+@item :lit2
+The literal pool entry is created as a 16 bit value. The operand modifier
+@@got may be used in the original expression. The term @samp{x@@got:lit2}
+will put the got offset for the global symbol x to the literal pool as
+16 bit value.
+@item :lit4
+The literal pool entry is created as a 32-bit value. The operand modifier
+@@got and @@plt may be used in the original expression. The term
+@samp{x@@got:lit4} will put the got offset for the global symbol x to the
+literal pool as a 32-bit value. The term @samp{x@@plt:lit4} will put the
+plt offset for the global symbol x to the literal pool as a 32-bit value.
+@item :lit8
+The literal pool entry is created as a 64-bit value. The operand modifier
+@@got and @@plt may be used in the original expression. The term
+@samp{x@@got:lit8} will put the got offset for the global symbol x to the
+literal pool as a 64-bit value. The term @samp{x@@plt:lit8} will put the
+plt offset for the global symbol x to the literal pool as a 64-bit value.

+@node s390 Directives
+@section Assembler Directives
+
+@code{@value{AS}} for s390 supports all of the standard ELF
+assembler directives as outlined in the main part of this document.
+Some directives have been extended and there are some additional
+directives, which are only available for the s390 @code{@value{AS}}.
+
+@table @code
+@cindex @code{.insn} directive, s390
+@item .insn
+This directive permits the numeric representation of an instructions
+and makes the assembler insert the operands according to one of the
+instructions formats for @samp{.insn} (@ref{s390 Formats}).
+For example, the instruction @samp{l %r1,24(%r15)} could be written as
+@samp{.insn rx,0x58000000,%r1,24(%r15)}.
+@cindex @code{.short} directive, s390
+@cindex @code{.long} directive, s390
+@cindex @code{.quad} directive, s390
+@item .short
+@itemx .long
+@itemx .quad
+This directive places one or more 16-bit (.short), 32-bit (.long), or
+64-bit (.quad) values into the current section. If an ELF or TLS modifier
+is used only the following expressions are allowed:
+@samp{symbol@@modifier + constant},
+@samp{symbol@@modifier + label + constant}, and
+@samp{symbol@@modifier - label + constant}.
+The following modifiers are available:
+@table @code
+@item @@got
+@itemx @@got12
+The @@got modifier can be used for .short, .long and .quad. The @@got12
+modifier is synonym to @@got. The symbol is added to the GOT. The symbol
+term is replaced with offset from the start of the GOT to the GOT slot for
+the symbol.
+@item @@gotoff
+The @@gotoff modifier can be used for .short, .long and .quad. The symbol
+term is replaced with the offset from the start of the GOT to the address
+of the symbol.
+@item @@gotplt
+The @@gotplt modifier can be used for .long and .quad. A procedure linkage
+table entry is generated for the symbol and a jump slot for the symbol
+is added to the GOT. The symbol term is replaced with the offset from the
+start of the GOT to the jump slot for the symbol.
+@item @@plt
+The @@plt modifier can be used for .long and .quad. A procedure linkage
+table entry us generated for the symbol. The symbol term is replaced with
+the address of the PLT entry for the symbol.
+@item @@pltoff
+The @@pltoff modifier can be used for .short, .long and .quad. The symbol
+term is replaced with the offset from the start of the PLT to the address
+of the symbol.
+@item @@tlsgd
+@itemx @@tlsldm
+The @@tlsgd and @@tlsldm modifier can be used for .long and .quad. A
+tls_index structure for the symbol is added to the GOT. The symbol term is
+replaced with the offset from the start of the GOT to the tls_index structure.
+@item @@gotntpoff
+@itemx @@indntpoff
+The @@gotntpoff and @@indntpoff modifier can be used for .long and .quad.
+The symbol is added to the static TLS block and the negated offset to the
+symbol in the static TLS block is added to the GOT. For @@gotntpoff the
+symbol term is replaced with the offset from the start of the GOT to the
+GOT slot, for @@indntpoff the symbol term is replaced with the address
+of the GOT slot.
+@item @@dtpoff
+The @@dtpoff modifier can be used for .long and .quad. The symbol term
+is replaced with the offset of the symbol relative to the start of the
+TLS block it is contained in.
+@item @@ntpoff
+The @@ntpoff modifier can be used for .long and .quad. The symbol term
+is replaced with the offset of the symbol relative to the TCB pointer.

+
+@cindex @code{.ltorg} directive, s390
+@item .ltorg
+This directive causes the current contents of the literal pool to be
+dumped to the current location (@ref{s390 Literal Pool Entries}).
+
+@cindex @code{.machine} directive, s390
+@item .machine string
+This directive allows you to change the machine for which code is
+generated. @code{string} may be any of the @code{-march=} selection
+options (without the -march=), @code{push}, or @code{pop}.
+@code{.machine push} saves the currently selected cpu, which may be
+restored with @code{.machine pop}. Be aware that the cpu string has
+to be put into double quotes in case it contains characters not
+appropriate for identifiers. So you have to write @code{"z9-109"}
+instead of just @code{z9-109}.
+
+@cindex @code{.machinemode} directive, s390
+@item .machinemode string
+This directive allows to change the architecture mode for which code
+is being generated. @code{string} may be @code{esa}, @code{zarch},
+@code{zarch_nohighgprs}, @code{push}, or @code{pop}.
+@code{.machinemode zarch_nohighgprs} can be used to prevent the
+@code{highgprs} flag from being set in the ELF header of the output
+file. This is useful in situations where the code is gated with a
+runtime check which makes sure that the code is only executed on
+kernels providing the @code{highgprs} feature.
+@code{.machinemode push} saves the currently selected mode, which may
+be restored with @code{.machinemode pop}.
