2 * Code for the vsyscall page. This version uses the sysenter instruction.
5 * 1) __kernel_vsyscall _must_ be first in this page.
6 * 2) there are alignment constraints on this stub, see vsyscall-sigreturn.S
11 * The caller puts arg2 in %ecx, which gets pushed. The kernel will use
12 * %ecx itself for arg2. The pushing is because the sysexit instruction
13 * (found in entry.S) requires that we clobber %ecx with the desired %esp.
14 * User code might expect that %ecx is unclobbered though, as it would be
15 * for returning via the iret instruction, so we must push and pop.
17 * The caller puts arg3 in %edx, which the sysexit instruction requires
18 * for %eip. Thus, exactly as for arg2, we must push and pop.
20 * Arg6 is different. The caller puts arg6 in %ebp. Since the sysenter
21 * instruction clobbers %esp, the user's %esp won't even survive entry
22 * into the kernel. We store %esp in %ebp. Code in entry.S must fetch
23 * arg6 from the stack.
25 * You can not use this vsyscall for the clone() syscall because the
26 * three dwords on the parent stack do not get copied to the child.
