How do I use RIP Relative Addressing in a Linux assembly program for the AMD64 archtitecture? I am looking for a simple example (a Hello world program) that uses the AMD64 RIP relative adressing mode.
For example the following 64-bit assembly program would work with normal (absolute addressing):
.text
.global _start
_start:
mov $0xd, %rdx
mov $msg, %rsi
pushq $0x1
pop %rax
mov %rax, %rdi
syscall
xor %rdi, %rdi
pushq $0x3c
pop %rax
syscall
.data
msg:
.ascii "Hello world!\n"
I am guessing that the same program using RIP Relative Addressing would be something like:
.text
.global _start
_start:
mov $0xd, %rdx
mov msg(%rip), %rsi
pushq $0x1
pop %rax
mov %rax, %rdi
syscall
xor %rdi, %rdi
pushq $0x3c
pop %rax
syscall
msg:
.ascii "Hello world!\n"
The normal version runs fine when compiled with:
as -o hello.o hello.s && ld -s -o hello hello.o && ./hello
But I can't get the RIP version working.
Any ideas?

Stephen Canon's answer makes the RIP version work.
Now when I disassemble the executable of the RIP version I get:
objdump -d hello
0000000000400078 <.text>:
400078: 48 c7 c2 0d 00 00 00 mov $0xd,%rdx
40007f: 48 8d 35 10 00 00 00 lea 0x10(%rip),%rsi # 0x400096
400086: 6a 01 pushq $0x1
400088: 58 pop %rax
400089: 48 89 c7 mov %rax,%rdi
40008c: 0f 05 syscall
40008e: 48 31 ff xor %rdi,%rdi
400091: 6a 3c pushq $0x3c
400093: 58 pop %rax
400094: 0f 05 syscall
400096: 48 rex.W
400097: 65 gs
400098: 6c insb (%dx),%es:(%rdi)
400099: 6c insb (%dx),%es:(%rdi)
40009a: 6f outsl %ds:(%rsi),(%dx)
40009b: 20 77 6f and %dh,0x6f(%rdi)
40009e: 72 6c jb 0x40010c
4000a0: 64 21 0a and %ecx,%fs:(%rdx)
Which shows what I was trying to accomplish: lea 0x10(%rip),%rsi loads the address 17 bytes after the lea instruction which is address 0x400096 where the Hello world string can be found and thus resulting in position independent code.
