/* This implementation can handle any ARGC value but only
   normal integer parameters.
   makecontext sets up a stack and the registers for the
   user context. The stack looks like this:
               +-----------------------+
               | next context          |
               +-----------------------+
               | parameter 7-n         |
	       +-----------------------+
	       | trampoline address    |
    %rsp ->    +-----------------------+

   The registers are set up like this:
     %rdi,%rsi,%rdx,%rcx,%r8,%r9: parameter 1 to 6
     %rbx   : address of next context
     %rsp   : stack pointer.
*/

/* XXX: This implementation currently only handles integer arguments.
   To handle long int and pointer arguments the va_arg arguments needs
   to be changed to long and also the stdlib/tst-setcontext.c file needs
   to be changed to pass long arguments to makecontext.  */

     The standard says the parameters must all be int values.  This is
     an historic accident and would be done differently today.  For
     x86-64 all integer values are passed as 64-bit values and
     therefore extending the API to copy 64-bit values instead of
     32-bit ints makes sense.  It does not break existing
     functionality and it does not violate the standard which says
     that passing non-int values means undefined behavior.  */
