- * This is a heavily modified version of gcc's output for the syscall5 macro.
- * The idea (originally from dietlibc) is that all syscall functions simply
- * set the syscall number in %al (since <= 255) and then jump here.  All the
- * common work is done by __uClibc_syscall, saving a fair amount of generated
- * code where a number of syscalls are used.  The (potential) cost is some 
- * unnecessary pushes, pops, and movs but the execution time penalty should
- * be relatively small compared to the cost of the syscall itself.
- *
- * WARNING: If the startup code for uClibc changes, I suppose it is possible
- *          that this code might try to access memory under the bottom of
- *          the stack.
- * WARNING: This will need to be modified if the number of syscalls ever
- *          exceeds 255.  So will the associated syscall macros.

+ * Modified by Erik Andersen to take all function parameters from off the stack
+ * like a proper function and eliminates the old 255 syscall number limit.  So
+ * now we can just call this as a function as syscall() per the function
+ * prototype in unistd.h, so to call _exit(42) you can just call.
