多寄存器的加载与存储
ARMv7-a架构的芯片提供了高效的寄存器数据加载与存储
指令
，一条指令可以从内存中加载多个寄存器，也可以将多个寄存器的数据存储至内存中。读写的内存必须是连续的；虽然数据量不大，但基于这些指令可以实现高效的数据拷贝、（软）中断的上下文保存、恢复，以及内核的任务切换、应用层的协程实现。
Arm Architecture Reference Manual
对这些指令做了详尽的说明：
编写多寄存器的加载和存储示例
ARMv7芯片提供了以上多种指令，原因是这些指令在加载、存储数据时，具体功能实现有细微的差别。如加载或存储是递增的(
increment
)，还是递减的(
decrement
)？在加载或存储的内存操作在增减之前(
before
)还是之后(
after
)？这些为了探究以上指令的具体功能实现及差别，笔者编写了简单的应用，其中汇编代码为：
.macro load_store_entry, ls_func
.global \ls_func
.type \ls_func, %function
\ls_func:
push {r4, r5, r6, lr}
.endm
.macro load_store_exit, ls_func
pop {r4, r5, r6, pc}
.size \ls_func, . - \ls_func
.align 2
.endm
.arch armv7-a
.text
.arm
load_store_entry ls_stmda
stmda r0, {r1, r2, r3}
load_store_exit ls_stmda
load_store_entry ls_stmda1
stmda r0!, {r1, r2, r3}
load_store_exit ls_stmda1
load_store_entry ls_stmia
stmia r0, {r1, r2, r3}
load_store_exit ls_stmia
load_store_entry ls_stmia1
stmia r0!, {r1, r2, r3}
load_store_exit ls_stmia1
load_store_entry ls_stmdb

load_store_exit ls_stmdb1
load_store_entry ls_stmib
stmib r0, {r1, r2, r3}
load_store_exit ls_stmib
load_store_entry ls_stmib1
stmib r0!, {r1, r2, r3}
load_store_exit ls_stmib1
load_store_entry ls_ldmda
ldmda r0, {r1, r2, r3}
bl ls_dump_result
load_store_exit ls_ldmda
load_store_entry ls_ldmda1
ldmda r0!, {r1, r2, r3}

load_store_exit ls_ldmda1
load_store_entry ls_ldmia
ldmia r0, {r1, r2, r3}
bl ls_dump_result
load_store_exit ls_ldmia
load_store_entry ls_ldmia1
ldmia r0!, {r1, r2, r3}
bl ls_dump_result
load_store_exit ls_ldmia1
load_store_entry ls_ldmdb
ldmdb r0, {r1, r2, r3}
bl ls_dump_result
load_store_exit ls_ldmdb
load_store_entry ls_ldmdb1
ldmdb r0!, {r1, r2, r3}
bl ls_dump_result
load_store_exit ls_ldmdb1
load_store_entry ls_ldmib

bl ls_dump_result
load_store_exit ls_ldmib
load_store_entry ls_ldmib1
ldmib r0!, {r1, r2, r3}
bl ls_dump_result
load_store_exit ls_ldmib1
其中
ls_dump_result
函数定义于C代码文件中，用于将
r0, r1, r2, r3
四个寄存器的数据输出；为节省篇幅，相关的C代码省略。在设备上测试，最后的结果为：

函数入口和返回时的寄存器操作
笔者编写的汇编代码中，函数在入口和返回时有
push
和
pop
两条指令，分别用于寄存器的保存和恢复；相关的内存为栈空间：
push {r4, r5, r6, lr}
pop {r4, r5, r5, pc}
经调试，这两条指令实际上是：
stmdb sp!, {r4, r5, r6, lr}
ldmia sp!, {r4, r5, r6, pc}
