This allows arbitrary 64bit * values to be returned in v0 (because negative values are not * mistaken as error numbers). However, C allows only one value to * be returned, so the interface below folds the error indication passed in * a3 back into v0: it sets v0 to -errno if an error occurs. Thus, * no negative 64bit numbers can be returned. To avoid this problem, * use assembly stubs wherever possible/convenient. * * Usage: * * long syscall(syscall_number, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6) * * syscall_number = the index of the system call we're invoking * arg1-arg6 = up to 6 integer arguments to the system call * * We need to do some arg shifting: the kernel expects the * syscall number in v0 and the first six args in a0-a5. * */ LEAF(__syscall, 0) #ifdef PROF ldgp gp, 0(pv) .set noat lda AT, _mcount jsr AT, (AT), _mcount .set at .prologue 1 #else .prologue 0 #endif mov a0, v0 /* Syscall number -> v0 */ mov a1, a0 /* arg1-arg5 -> a0-a4 */ mov a2, a1 mov a3, a2 mov a4, a3 mov a5, a4 ldq a5,0(sp) /* arg6 -> a5 */ call_pal PAL_callsys /* Invoke system call */ bne a3, SYSCALL_ERROR_LABEL ret PSEUDO_END(__syscall) weak_alias (__syscall, syscall)
