This is it:

http://feryno.host.sk/linux/asm_amd64_linux64.tar.bz2

Sources for fasm, yasm and feature nasm release with 64 bit support.
Working ELF64 programs.
Method for debugging ELF64 by gdb.
Linux syscall number list (thanx for it guys...).

Please mail me if you interess about 64 bit asm linux. Mail address is at homepage.

Remember that in fasm you should generally use = where you used EQU with NASM. fasm's EQU has a different meaning and is more like NASM's %XDEFINE (and it cannot be forward-referenced because of that).

Hmmm... maybe I should make some comparision table of equivalent syntax structures for different assemblers.

Thanks...

The link is up, if yu recibe a forbided message, best press return enter in the direction bar, because the server have a switch somewhere for let or not let link directly to that space Wink.

I tried the simple examples that came with fasm 1.60 and they segfaulted until I made the executable section writeable.

fasm itself does not make it's executable section writeable, yet I can assemble it and use the resulting fasm, and it works just fine.

If I omit the sections (or add writeable to the executable ones) I can get the 64 and 32 examples to work.

I'm running Linux version 2.6.11-gentoo-r2 (gcc version 3.4.3 20041125) 64 bit only. (I don't have any 32 bit gcc toolchain and glibc installed)

That's right. I had too much segfaults before create first good executable without segfault.
The advantage of asm coding is: for executable, it's enough to make 1 section only. You need set flags: exec, read, write to it. This make possibility to use one section for exec code as well writeable data segment mixed together. Unitialized data don't need section, udata is created with size defined in ELF64:
p_memsz - p_filesz
p_memsize = size codeseg+dataseg+udataseg
p_filesize = size codeseg+dataseg
udata is filled with zero bytes when Linux load executable befor jump to it's executable code.
Because writeable flag for exec segment, this prevent seg fault.

When you make ELF64 executable with 2 or more sections, you mustn't omit to make executable section writeable. If no - this make seg fault. I don't know why... Executable segment don't need be writeable. Exec and read privileges enough for it. For security it's better when exec seg is readable only, no writeable. This disable overwriting instructions. But asm coder need sometimes self-modifying exec code (e.g. antidebug protections...) and this is possible by 2 ways - executable segment with exec, read and WRITE flags, or use syscall _mprotect to set writeable flag.

For all my projects, 1 section is enough, so i make only 1 segment to store executable code and writeable data with exec, read, write flags. Uninitialized data section follow with zero padding created with size (p_memsz - p_filesz). For detailed header structure, see yasm/1st/header64.asm in my source examples ELF64 executables (asm_amd64_linux64.tar.bz2) at http://feryno.host.sk.

Good luck in great ASM64 coding under Linux, guys!
