(Direct + * calls are essentially free, because the call and return addresses + * are completely predictable.) + * + * These macros rely on the standard gcc "regparm(3)" calling + * convention, in which the first three arguments are placed in %eax, + * %edx, %ecx (in that order), and the remaining arguments are placed + * on the stack. All caller-save registers (eax,edx,ecx) are expected + * to be modified (either clobbered or used for return values). + * + * The call instruction itself is marked by placing its start address + * and size into the .parainstructions section, so that + * apply_paravirt() in arch/i386/kernel/alternative.c can do the + * appropriate patching under the control of the backend paravirt_ops + * implementation. + * + * Unfortunately there's no way to get gcc to generate the args setup + * for the call, and then allow the call itself to be generated by an + * inline asm. Because of this, we must do the complete arg setup and + * return value handling from within these macros.

For each number of arguments, there are + * the two VCALL and CALL variants for void and non-void functions. + * + * When there is a return value, the invoker of the macro must specify + * the return type. The macro then uses sizeof() on that type to + * determine whether its a 32 or 64 bit value, and places the return + * in the right register(s) (just %eax for 32-bit, and %edx:%eax for + * 64-bit). + * + * 64-bit arguments are passed as a pair of adjacent 32-bit arguments + * in low,high order. + * + * Small structures are passed and returned in registers.
