22 * This is for COMPATIBILITY with Linux/x86 only. Linux/Alpha system
5556231d 23 * calls return an error indication in a3. This allows arbitrary 64bit
2e6c2875
AJ
24 * values to be returned in v0 (because negative values are not
25 * mistaken as error numbers). However, C allows only one value to
26 * be returned, so the interface below folds the error indication passed in
6932e444
RM
27 * a3 back into v0: it sets v0 to -errno if an error occurs. Thus,
28 * no negative 64bit numbers can be returned. To avoid this problem,
29 * use assembly stubs wherever possible/convenient.
30 *
31 * Usage:
32 *
f3ce45f3 33 * long syscall(syscall_number, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6)
6932e444
RM
34 *
35 * syscall_number = the index of the system call we're invoking
f3ce45f3 36 * arg1-arg6 = up to 6 integer arguments to the system call
6932e444
RM
37 *
38 * We need to do some arg shifting: the kernel expects the
f3ce45f3 39 * syscall number in v0 and the first six args in a0-a5.
