Linux/Alpha system * calls return an error indication in a3. This allows to return * arbitrary 64bit values in v0 (because negative values are not * mistaken as error numbers). However, C allows to return only one * value 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) * * syscall_number = the index of the system call we're invoking * arg1-arg5 = up to 5 integer arguments to the system call * * We need to do some arg shifting: the kernel expects the * syscall number in v0 and the first five args in a0-a4. * */ 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 call_pal PAL_callsys /* Invoke system call */ bne a3, error ret error: #ifndef PROF br gp, 2f 2: ldgp gp, 0(gp) #endif jmp zero, __syscall_error END(__syscall) weak_alias(__syscall, syscall)
