/*
|
|
* The caller puts arg2 in %ecx, which gets pushed. The kernel will use
|
|
* %ecx itself for arg2. The pushing is because the sysexit instruction
|
|
* (found in entry.S) requires that we clobber %ecx with the desired %esp.
|
|
* User code might expect that %ecx is unclobbered though, as it would be
|
|
* for returning via the iret instruction, so we must push and pop.
|
|
*
|
|
* The caller puts arg3 in %edx, which the sysexit instruction requires
|
|
* for %eip. Thus, exactly as for arg2, we must push and pop.
|
|
*
|
|
* Arg6 is different. The caller puts arg6 in %ebp. Since the sysenter
|
|
* instruction clobbers %esp, the user's %esp won't even survive entry
|
|
* into the kernel. We store %esp in %ebp. Code in entry.S must fetch
|
|
* arg6 from the stack.
|
|
*
|
|
* You can not use this vsyscall for the clone() syscall because the
|
|
* three dwords on the parent stack do not get copied to the child.
