   On s390x the svc instruction is used for system calls. The system call
   number is encoded in the instruction (8 bit immediate field). Since Linux
   2.6 it is also allowed to use svc 0 with the system call number in r1.
   This was introduced for system calls >255, but works for all. It is
   also possible to see the svc 0 together with an EXecute instruction, that
   fills in the immediate field.

   For x86-darwin, "+N" denotes "in memory at N(%esp)"; ditto
   amd64-darwin.  Apparently 0(%esp) is some kind of return address
   (perhaps for syscalls done with "sysenter"?)  I don't think it is
   relevant for syscalls done with "int $0x80/1/2".

/* This is the top level of the system-call handler module.  All
   system calls are channelled through here, doing two things:

   * notify the tool of the events (mem/reg reads, writes) happening

   * perform the syscall, usually by passing it along to the kernel
     unmodified.

   A magical piece of assembly code, do_syscall_for_client_WRK, in
   syscall-$PLATFORM.S does the tricky bit of passing a syscall to the
   kernel, whilst having the simulator retain control.
*/

/* The main function is VG_(client_syscall).  The simulation calls it
   whenever a client thread wants to do a syscall.  The following is a
   sketch of what it does.

   * Ensures the root thread's stack is suitably mapped.  Tedious and
     arcane.  See big big comment in VG_(client_syscall).

   * First, it rounds up the syscall number and args (which is a
     platform dependent activity) and puts them in a struct ("args")
     and also a copy in "orig_args".

     The pre/post wrappers refer to these structs and so no longer
     need magic macros to access any specific registers.  This struct
     is stored in thread-specific storage.


   * The pre-wrapper is called, passing it a pointer to struct
     "args".


   * The pre-wrapper examines the args and pokes the tool
     appropriately.  It may modify the args; this is why "orig_args"
     is also stored.

     The pre-wrapper may choose to 'do' the syscall itself, and
     concludes one of three outcomes:

       Success(N)    -- syscall is already complete, with success;
                        result is N

       Fail(N)       -- syscall is already complete, with failure;
                        error code is N

       HandToKernel  -- (the usual case): this needs to be given to
                        the kernel to be done, using the values in
                        the possibly-modified "args" struct.

     In addition, the pre-wrapper may set some flags:

       MayBlock   -- only applicable when outcome==HandToKernel

       PostOnFail -- only applicable when outcome==HandToKernel or Fail


   * If the pre-outcome is HandToKernel, the syscall is duly handed
     off to the kernel (perhaps involving some thread switchery, but
     that's not important).  This reduces the possible set of outcomes
     to either Success(N) or Fail(N).


   * The outcome (Success(N) or Fail(N)) is written back to the guest
     register(s).  This is platform specific:

     x86:    Success(N) ==>  eax = N
             Fail(N)    ==>  eax = -N

     ditto amd64

     ppc32:  Success(N) ==>  r3 = N, CR0.SO = 0
             Fail(N) ==>     r3 = N, CR0.SO = 1

     Darwin:
     x86:    Success(N) ==>  edx:eax = N, cc = 0
             Fail(N)    ==>  edx:eax = N, cc = 1

     s390x:  Success(N) ==>  r2 = N
             Fail(N)    ==>  r2 = -N

   * The post wrapper is called if:

     - it exists, and
     - outcome==Success or (outcome==Fail and PostOnFail is set)

     The post wrapper is passed the adulterated syscall args (struct
     "args"), and the syscall outcome (viz, Success(N) or Fail(N)).

   There are several other complications, primarily to do with
   syscalls getting interrupted, explained in comments in the code.
*/

/* CAVEATS for writing wrappers.  It is important to follow these!

   The macros defined in priv_types_n_macros.h are designed to help
   decouple the wrapper logic from the actual representation of
   syscall args/results, since these wrappers are designed to work on
   multiple platforms.

   Sometimes a PRE wrapper will complete the syscall itself, without
   handing it to the kernel.  It will use one of SET_STATUS_Success,
   SET_STATUS_Failure or SET_STATUS_from_SysRes to set the return
   value.  It is critical to appreciate that use of the macro does not
   immediately cause the underlying guest state to be updated -- that
   is done by the driver logic in this file, when the wrapper returns.

   As a result, PRE wrappers of the following form will malfunction:

   PRE(fooble) 
   {
      ... do stuff ...
      SET_STATUS_Somehow(...)

      // do something that assumes guest state is up to date
   }

   In particular, direct or indirect calls to VG_(poll_signals) after
   setting STATUS can cause the guest state to be read (in order to
   build signal frames).  Do not do this.  If you want a signal poll
   after the syscall goes through, do "*flags |= SfPollAfter" and the
   driver logic will do it for you.

   -----------

   Another critical requirement following introduction of new address
   space manager (JRS, 20050923):

   In a situation where the mappedness of memory has changed, aspacem
   should be notified BEFORE the tool.  Hence the following is
   correct:

      Bool d = VG_(am_notify_munmap)(s->start, s->end+1 - s->start);
      VG_TRACK( die_mem_munmap, s->start, s->end+1 - s->start );
      if (d)
         VG_(discard_translations)(s->start, s->end+1 - s->start);

   whilst this is wrong:

      VG_TRACK( die_mem_munmap, s->start, s->end+1 - s->start );
      Bool d = VG_(am_notify_munmap)(s->start, s->end+1 - s->start);
      if (d)
         VG_(discard_translations)(s->start, s->end+1 - s->start);

   The reason is that the tool may itself ask aspacem for more shadow
   memory as a result of the VG_TRACK call.  In such a situation it is
   critical that aspacem's segment array is up to date -- hence the
   need to notify aspacem first.

   -----------

   Also .. take care to call VG_(discard_translations) whenever
   memory with execute permissions is unmapped.

/* ---------------------------------------------------------------------
   Do potentially blocking syscall for the client, and mess with 
   signal masks at the same time. 
   ------------------------------------------------------------------ */

/* Perform a syscall on behalf of a client thread, using a specific
   signal mask.  On completion, the signal mask is set to restore_mask
   (which presumably blocks almost everything).  If a signal happens
   during the syscall, the handler should call
   VG_(fixup_guest_state_after_syscall_interrupted) to adjust the
   thread's context to do the right thing.

   The _WRK function is handwritten assembly, implemented per-platform
   in coregrind/m_syswrap/syscall-$PLAT.S.  It has some very magic
   properties.  See comments at the top of
   VG_(fixup_guest_state_after_syscall_interrupted) below for details.

   This function (these functions) are required to return zero in case
   of success (even if the syscall itself failed), and nonzero if the
   sigprocmask-swizzling calls failed.  We don't actually care about
   the failure values from sigprocmask, although most of the assembly
   implementations do attempt to return that, using the convention
   0 for success, or 0x8000 | error-code for failure.

      the problem of entering a syscall with the SP unmapped.  Because
      the kernel doesn't know that the segment immediately above SP is
      supposed to be a grow-down segment, it causes the syscall to
      fail, and thereby causes a divergence between native behaviour
      (syscall succeeds) and simulated behaviour (syscall fails).

      This is quite a rare failure mode.  It has only been seen
      affecting calls to sys_readlink on amd64-linux, and even then it
      requires a certain code sequence around the syscall to trigger
      it.  Here is one:

      extern int my_readlink ( const char* path );
      asm(
      ".text\n"
      ".globl my_readlink\n"
      "my_readlink:\n"
      "\tsubq    $0x1008,%rsp\n"
      "\tmovq    %rdi,%rdi\n"              // path is in rdi
      "\tmovq    %rsp,%rsi\n"              // &buf[0] -> rsi
      "\tmovl    $0x1000,%edx\n"           // sizeof(buf) in rdx
      "\tmovl    $"__NR_READLINK",%eax\n"  // syscall number
      "\tsyscall\n"
      "\taddq    $0x1008,%rsp\n"
      "\tret\n"
      ".previous\n"
      );

      For more details, see bug #156404
      (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156404).

      The fix is actually very simple.  We simply need to call
      VG_(extend_stack) for this thread, handing it the lowest
      possible valid address for stack (sp - redzone), to ensure the
      pages all the way down to that address, are mapped.  Because
      this is a potentially expensive and frequent operation, we
      filter in two ways:

      First, only the main thread (tid=1) has a growdown stack.  So
      ignore all others.  It is conceivable, although highly unlikely,
      that the main thread exits, and later another thread is
      allocated tid=1, but that's harmless, I believe;
      VG_(extend_stack) will do nothing when applied to a non-root
      thread.

      Secondly, first call VG_(am_find_nsegment) directly, to see if
      the page holding (sp - redzone) is mapped correctly.  If so, do
      nothing.  This is almost always the case.  VG_(extend_stack)
      calls VG_(am_find_nsegment) twice, so this optimisation -- and
      that's all it is -- more or less halves the number of calls to
      VG_(am_find_nsegment) required.

      TODO: the test "seg->kind == SkAnonC" is really inadequate,
      because although it tests whether the segment is mapped
      _somehow_, it doesn't check that it has the right permissions
      (r,w, maybe x) ?  We could test that here, but it will also be
      necessary to fix the corresponding test in VG_(extend_stack).

      All this guff is of course Linux-specific.  Hence the ifdef.

/* Syscalls done on behalf of the client are finally handed off to the
   kernel in VG_(client_syscall) above, either by calling
   do_syscall_for_client (the async case), or by calling
   VG_(do_syscall6) (the sync case).

   If the syscall is not interrupted by a signal (it may block and
   later unblock, but that's irrelevant here) then those functions
   eventually return and so control is passed to VG_(post_syscall).
   NB: not sure if the sync case can actually get interrupted, as it
   operates with all signals masked.

   However, the syscall may get interrupted by an async-signal.  In
   that case do_syscall_for_client/VG_(do_syscall6) do not
   return.  Instead we wind up in m_signals.async_sighandler.  We need
   to fix up the guest state to make it look like the syscall was
   interrupted for guest.  So async_sighandler calls here, and this
   does the fixup.  Note that from here we wind up calling
   VG_(post_syscall) too.

/* 
   Fix up the guest state when a syscall is interrupted by a signal
   and so has been forced to return 'sysret'.

   To do this, we determine the precise state of the syscall by
   looking at the (real) IP at the time the signal happened.  The
   syscall sequence looks like:

     1. unblock signals
     2. perform syscall
     3. save result to guest state (EAX, RAX, R3+CR0.SO, R0, V0)
     4. re-block signals

   If a signal
   happens at      Then     Why?
   [1-2)           restart  nothing has happened (restart syscall)
   [2]             restart  syscall hasn't started, or kernel wants to restart
   [2-3)           save     syscall complete, but results not saved
   [3-4)           syscall complete, results saved

   Sometimes we never want to restart an interrupted syscall (because
   sigaction says not to), so we only restart if "restart" is True.

   This will also call VG_(post_syscall) if the syscall has actually
   completed (either because it was interrupted, or because it
   actually finished).  It will not call VG_(post_syscall) if the
   syscall is set up for restart, which means that the pre-wrapper may
   get called multiple times.
