image/svg+xmlPUSH—Push Word, Doubleword or Quadword Onto the StackInstruction Operand EncodingDescriptionDecrements the stack pointer and then stores the source operand on the top of the stack. Address and operand sizes are determined and used as follows:Address size. The D flag in the current code-segment descriptor determines the default address size; it may be overridden by an instruction prefix (67H).The address size is used only when referencing a source operand in memory.Operand size. The D flag in the current code-segment descriptor determines the default operand size; it may be overridden by instruction prefixes (66H or REX.W).The operand size (16, 32, or 64 bits) determines the amount by which the stack pointer is decremented (2, 4or 8).If the source operand is an immediate of size less than the operand size, a sign-extended value is pushed onthe stack. If the source operand is a segment register (16 bits) and the operand size is 64-bits, a zero-extended value is pushed on the stack; if the operand size is 32-bits, either a zero-extended value is pushedon the stack or the segment selector is written on the stack using a 16-bit move. For the last case, all recentIntel Core and Intel Atom processors perform a 16-bit move, leaving the upper portion of the stack locationunmodified.Opcode*InstructionOp/ En64-Bit ModeCompat/Leg ModeDescriptionFF /6PUSH r/m16MValidValidPush r/m16.FF /6PUSH r/m32MN.E.ValidPush r/m32.FF /6PUSH r/m64MValidN.E.Push r/m64. 50+rwPUSH r16OValid ValidPush r16.50+rdPUSH r32ON.E.ValidPush r32.50+rdPUSH r64OValidN.E.Push r64.6A ibPUSH imm8IValidValidPush imm8.68 iwPUSH imm16IValidValidPush imm16.68 idPUSH imm32IValidValidPush imm32.0EPUSH CSZOInvalidValidPush CS.16PUSH SSZOInvalidValidPush SS.1EPUSH DSZOInvalidValidPush DS.06PUSH ESZOInvalidValidPush ES.0F A0PUSH FSZOValidValidPush FS.0F A8PUSH GSZOValidValidPush GS.NOTES:*See IA-32 Architecture Compatibility section below.Op/EnOperand 1Operand 2Operand 3Operand 4MModRM:r/m (r)NANANAOopcode + rd (r)NANANAIimm8/16/32NANANAZONANANANA

image/svg+xmlStack-address size. Outside of 64-bit mode, the B flag in the current stack-segment descriptor determines the size of the stack pointer (16 or 32 bits); in 64-bit mode, the size of the stack pointer is always 64 bits.The stack-address size determines the width of the stack pointer when writing to the stack in memory andwhen decrementing the stack pointer. (As stated above, the amount by which the stack pointer isdecremented is determined by the operand size.)If the operand size is less than the stack-address size, the PUSH instruction may result in a misaligned stackpointer (a stack pointer that is not aligned on a doubleword or quadword boundary).The PUSH ESP instruction pushes the value of the ESP register as it existed before the instruction was executed. If a PUSH instruction uses a memory operand in which the ESP register is used for computing the operand address, the address of the operand is computed before the ESP register is decremented. If the ESP or SP register is 1 when the PUSH instruction is executed in real-address mode, a stack-fault exception (#SS) is generated (because the limit of the stack segment is violated). Its delivery encounters a second stack-fault exception (for the same reason), causing generation of a double-fault exception (#DF). Delivery of the double-fault exception encounters a third stack-fault exception, and the logical processor enters shutdown mode. See the discussion of the double-fault exception in Chapter 6 of the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer’s Manual, Volume 3A.IA-32 Architecture CompatibilityFor IA-32 processors from the Intel 286 on, the PUSH ESP instruction pushes the value of the ESP register as it existed before the instruction was executed. (This is also true for Intel 64 architecture, real-address and virtual-8086 modes of IA-32 architecture.) For the Intel® 8086 processor, the PUSH SP instruction pushes the new value of the SP register (that is the value after it has been decremented by 2).Operation(* See Description section for possible sign-extension or zero-extension of source operand and for *)(* a case in which the size of the memory store may be smaller than the instruction’s operand size *)IF StackAddrSize = 64THENIF OperandSize = 64THENRSP := RSP – 8;Memory[SS:RSP] := SRC;(* push quadword *)ELSE IF OperandSize = 32THENRSP := RSP – 4;Memory[SS:RSP] := SRC;(* push dword *)ELSE (* OperandSize = 16 *)RSP := RSP – 2;Memory[SS:RSP] := SRC;(* push word *)FI;ELSE IF StackAddrSize = 32THENIF OperandSize = 64THENESP := ESP – 8;Memory[SS:ESP] := SRC;(* push quadword *)ELSE IF OperandSize = 32THENESP := ESP – 4;Memory[SS:ESP] := SRC;(* push dword *)ELSE (* OperandSize = 16 *)ESP := ESP – 2;Memory[SS:ESP] := SRC;(* push word *)
