/* Linux takes system call arguments in registers:
syscall number %eax call-clobbered
arg 1 %ebx call-saved
arg 2 %ecx call-clobbered
arg 3 %edx call-clobbered
arg 4 %esi call-saved
arg 5 %edi call-saved
The stack layout upon entering the function is:
20(%esp) Arg# 5
16(%esp) Arg# 4
12(%esp) Arg# 3
8(%esp) Arg# 2
4(%esp) Arg# 1
(%esp) Return address
(Of course a function with say 3 arguments does not have entries for
arguments 4 and 5.)
The following code tries hard to be optimal. A general assuption
(which is true accoriding to the data books I have) is that
2 * xchg is more expensive than pushl + movl + popl
Beside this a neat trick is used. The calling conventions for Linux
tell that among the registers used for parameters %ecx and %edx need
not be saved. Beside this we may clobber this registers even when
they are not used for parameter passing.
As a result one can see below that we save the content of the %ebx
register in the %edx register when we have less than 3 arguments
(2 * movl is less expensive than pushl + popl).
Second unlike for the other registers we don't save the content of
%ecx and %edx when we have than 1 and 2 registers resp. */
