38 * The ucontext_t that the user passes in must have been primed with a
39 * call to getcontext(2), have the uc_stack member set to reflect the
40 * stack which this context will use, and have the uc_link member set
41 * to the context which should be resumed when this context returns.
42 * When makecontext() returns, the ucontext_t will be set to run the
43 * given function with the given parameters on the stack specified by
44 * uc_stack, and which will return to the ucontext_t specified by uc_link.
48 * The original i386 ABI said that the stack pointer need be only 4-byte
49 * aligned before a function call (STACK_ALIGN == 4). The ABI supplement
50 * version 1.0 changed the required alignment to 16-byte for the benefit of
51 * floating point code compiled using sse2. The compiler assumes this
52 * alignment and maintains it for calls it generates. If the stack is
53 * initially properly aligned, it will continue to be so aligned. If it is
54 * not initially so aligned, it will never become so aligned.
56 * One slightly confusing detail to keep in mind is that the 16-byte
57 * alignment (%esp & 0xf == 0) is true just *before* the call instruction.
58 * The call instruction will then push a return value, decrementing %esp by
59 * 4. Therefore, if one dumps %esp at the at the very first instruction in
60 * a function, it will end with a 0xc. The compiler expects this and
61 * compensates for it properly.
63 * Note: If you change this value, you need to change it in the following
64 * files as well:
66 * - lib/libc/i386/threads/machdep.c
67 * - lib/crt/i86/crti.s
68 * - lib/crt/i86/crt1.s
