21 | * This is for COMPATIBILITY with Linux/x86 only. Linux/Alpha system |
22 | * calls return an error indication in a3. This allows arbitrary 64bit |
23 | * values to be returned in v0 (because negative values are not |
24 | * mistaken as error numbers). However, C allows only one value to |
25 | * be returned, so the interface below folds the error indication passed in |
26 | * a3 back into v0: it sets v0 to -errno if an error occurs. Thus, |
27 | * no negative 64bit numbers can be returned. To avoid this problem, |
28 | * use assembly stubs wherever possible/convenient. |
29 | * |
30 | * Usage: |
31 | * |
32 | * long syscall(syscall_number, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6) |
33 | * |
34 | * syscall_number = the index of the system call we're invoking |
35 | * arg1-arg6 = up to 6 integer arguments to the system call |
36 | * |
37 | * We need to do some arg shifting: the kernel expects the |
38 | * syscall number in v0 and the first six args in a0-a5. |
