; Contributions from pestis, TomCat and exoticorn ; ; This is the 16-bit DOS x86 decompression stub for upkr, which is designed for ; maximum compatibility: it relocates the compressed data so it can be ; decompressed starting at the normal .COM starting address. In other words, ; many of the already existing .COM files should be compressable using this ; stub. ; ; How to use: ; 1) Pack your intro using upkr into data.bin with the --x86 command line ; argument: ; ; $ upkr --x86 intro.com data.bin ; ; 2) Compile this .asm file using nasm (or any compatible assembler): ; ; $ nasm unpack_x86_16_DOS.asm -fbin -o intropck.com ; ; The packed size of the intro+stub is limited by max_len (see below) bytes. ; ; In specific cases, the unpacker stub can be further optimized to save a byte ; or two: ; 1) You can remove CLC before RET, if you don't mind carry being set upon ; program entry ; 2) You can also move PUSHA before PUSH SI and put POPA as the first ; operation of the compressed code. max_len equ 16384 prog_start equ (0x100+max_len+510+relocation-upkr_unpack) probs equ (((prog_start+max_len+510)+255)/256)*256 org 0x100 ; This is will be loaded at 0x100, but relocates the code and data to prog_start relocation: push si ; si = 0x100 at DOS start, so save it for later ret pusha ; pusha to recall all registers before starting intro push si ; for pop di to start writing the output mov di, prog_start ; the depacker & data are relocated from 0x100 to prog_start mov ch, max_len/512 rep movsw jmp si ; jump to relocated upkr_unpack ; upkr_unpack unpacks the code to 0x100 and runs it when done. upkr_unpack: xchg ax, bp ; position in input bitstream (bp) = 0 cwd ; upkr_state (dx) = 0; xchg ax, cx ; cx = 0x9XX mov al, 128 ; for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(upkr_probs); ++i) upkr_probs[i] = 128; rep stosb pop di ; u8* write_ptr = (u8*)destination; .mainloop: mov bx, probs call upkr_decode_bit jc .else ; if(upkr_decode_bit(0)) { mov bh, (probs+256)/256 jcxz .skip_call call upkr_decode_bit jc .skipoffset .skip_call: stc call upkr_decode_number ; offset = upkr_decode_length(258) - 1; loop .notdone ; if(offset == 0) popa clc ret .notdone: mov si, di .sub: dec si loop .sub .skipoffset: mov bl, 128 ; int length = upkr_decode_length(384); call upkr_decode_number rep movsb ; *write_ptr = write_ptr[-offset]; jmp .mainloop .byteloop: call upkr_decode_bit ; int bit = upkr_decode_bit(byte); .else: adc bl, bl ; byte = (byte << 1) + bit; jnc .byteloop xchg ax, bx stosb inc si mov cl, 1 jmp .mainloop ; prev_was_match = 0; ; upkr_decode_bit decodes one bit from the rANS entropy encoded bit stream. ; parameters: ; bx = memory address of the context probability ; dx = decoder state ; bp = bit position in input stream ; returns: ; dx = new decoder state ; bp = new bit position in input stream ; carry = bit ; trashes ax upkr_load_bit: bt [compressed_data-relocation+prog_start], bp inc bp adc dx, dx upkr_decode_bit: inc dx ; inc dx, dec dx is used to test the top (sign) bit of dx dec dx jns upkr_load_bit movzx ax, byte [bx] ; u16 prob = upkr_probs[context_index] push ax ; save prob, tmp = prob cmp dl, al ; int bit = (upkr_state & 255) < prob ? 1 : 0; (carry = bit) pushf ; save bit flags jc .bit ; (skip if bit) neg al ; tmp = 256 - tmp; .bit: mov [bx], al ; upkr_probs[context_index] = tmp + (256 - tmp + 8) >> 4; neg byte [bx] shr byte [bx], 4 adc [bx], al mul dh ; upkr_state = tmp * (upkr_state >> 8) + (upkr_state & 255); mov dh, 0 add dx, ax popf pop ax jc .bit2 ; (skip if bit) neg byte [bx] ; tmp = 256 - tmp; sub dx, ax ; upkr_state -= prob; note that this will also leave carry always unset, which is what we want .bit2: ret ; return the bit in carry ; upkr_decode_number loads a variable length encoded number (up to 16 bits) from ; the compressed stream.
