Does anyone know why the libc system call functions for
spim add four to the stack pointer (R29) before issuing
the SYSCALL instruction?
/sys/src/libc/9syscall/mkfile:/spim
It was introduced in the third edition but there were
never any spim kernels released so I wasn't able to
compare the libc additions to the trap code.
I was watching one of adventuresin9's videos about his
ongoing port to the MediaTek MT7688 and he mentioned
having to modify the stack offsets in the syscall trap
handler just as cherry9 had done for the loongson port.
Is there any reason not to simply get rid of that ADD $4?
Cheers,
Anthony
