37 * NB: __vfork14 is a tricky syscall. We can't save
38 * any values on the stack, because the stack will be
39 * trashed by the child, leaving garbage for when the
42 * So we must save values in registers, specifically,
43 * registers that the kernel is willing to preserve
44 * across the syscall. Normally, this would be callee-
45 * saved registers, with the kernel being the callee,
46 * but the problem is that we, too, are a callee, and
47 * would have to save that very same register somewhere,
48 * because *our* caller is counting on us to do so.
50 * What we need is a normally caller-saved register,
51 * that the kernel is willing to save for us. The
52 * syscall entry code in locore.S has been modified
53 * to do just this for the t4 register.
