RET

Return from Procedure

Instruction Operand Encoding

Description

Transfers program control to a return address located on the top of the stack. The address is usually placed on the stack by a CALL instruction, and the return is made to the instruction that follows the CALL instruction.

The optional source operand specifies the number of stack bytes to be released after the return address is popped; the default is none. This operand can be used to release parameters from the stack that were passed to the called procedure and are no longer needed. It must be used when the CALL instruction used to switch to a new procedure uses a call gate with a non-zero word count to access the new procedure. Here, the source operand for the RET instruction must specify the same number of bytes as is specified in the word count field of the call gate.

The RET instruction can be used to execute three different types of returns:

• Near return -- A return to a calling procedure within the current code segment (the segment currently pointed to by the CS register), sometimes referred to as an intrasegment return.

• Far return -- A return to a calling procedure located in a different segment than the current code segment, sometimes referred to as an intersegment return.

• Inter-privilege-level far return -- A far return to a different privilege level than that of the currently executing program or procedure.

The inter-privilege-level return type can only be executed in protected mode. See the section titled "Calling Proce-dures Using Call and RET" in Chapter 6 of the Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual, Volume 1, for detailed information on near, far, and inter-privilege-level returns.

When executing a near return, the processor pops the return instruction pointer (offset) from the top of the stack into the EIP register and begins program execution at the new instruction pointer. The CS register is unchanged.

When executing a far return, the processor pops the return instruction pointer from the top of the stack into the EIP register, then pops the segment selector from the top of the stack into the CS register. The processor then begins program execution in the new code segment at the new instruction pointer.

The mechanics of an inter-privilege-level far return are similar to an intersegment return, except that the processor examines the privilege levels and access rights of the code and stack segments being returned to deter-mine if the control transfer is allowed to be made. The DS, ES, FS, and GS segment registers are cleared by the RET instruction during an inter-privilege-level return if they refer to segments that are not allowed to be accessed at the new privilege level. Since a stack switch also occurs on an inter-privilege level return, the ESP and SS registers are loaded from the stack.

If parameters are passed to the called procedure during an inter-privilege level call, the optional source operand must be used with the RET instruction to release the parameters on the return. Here, the parameters are released both from the called procedure's stack and the calling procedure's stack (that is, the stack being returned to).

In 64-bit mode, the default operation size of this instruction is the stack-address size, i.e. 64 bits. This applies to near returns, not far returns; the default operation size of far returns is 32 bits.

• If the stack segment selector is NULL going back to CPL3 64-bit mode.

• If a NULL stack segment selector RPL is not equal to CPL going back to non-CPL3 64-bit mode.

• If the return code segment selector is NULL.

#GP(selector)

• If the proposed segment descriptor for a code segment does not indicate it is a code segment.

• If the proposed new code segment descriptor has both the D-bit and L-bit set.

• If the DPL for a nonconforming-code segment is not equal to the RPL of the code segment selector.

• If CPL is greater than the RPL of the code segment selector.

• If the DPL of a conforming-code segment is greater than the return code segment selector RPL.

• If a segment selector index is outside its descriptor table limits.

• If a segment descriptor memory address is non-canonical.

• If the stack segment is not a writable data segment.

• If the stack segment descriptor DPL is not equal to the RPL of the return code segment selector.

#NP(selector)

• If the return code or stack segment is not present.

#PF(fault-code)

• If a page fault occurs.

#AC(0)

• If alignment checking is enabled and an unaligned memory reference is made while the current privilege level is 3.
