A comprehensive explanation is added for * everybody's sanity, including the author's. * * The first and foremost variation in the context is synchronous contexts * (= synctx) versus asynchronous contexts (= asynctx). A synctx is created * synchronously WRT program execution and has the advantage that none of the * scratch registers have to be saved. They are assumed to be clobbered by the * call to the function that creates the context. An asynctx needs to have the * scratch registers preserved because it can describe any point in a thread's * (or process') execution. * The second variation is for synchronous contexts. When the kernel creates * a synchronous context if needs to preserve the scratch registers, because * the syscall argument and return values are stored there in the trapframe * and they need to be preserved in order to restart a syscall or return the * proper return values. Also, the IIP and CFM fields need to be preserved * as they point to the syscall stub, which the kernel saves as a favor to * userland (it keeps the stubs small and simple). * * Below a description of the flags and their meaning: * * _MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT * If set, indicates that mc_scratch and mc_scratch_fp are both * valid. IFF not set, _MC_FLAGS_SYSCALL_CONTEXT indicates if the * synchronous context is one corresponding to a syscall or not. * Only the kernel is expected to create such a context and it's * probably wise to let the kernel restore it. * _MC_FLAGS_HIGHFP_VALID * If set, indicates that the high FP registers (f32-f127) are * valid. This flag is very likely not going to be set for any * sensible synctx, but is not explicitly disallowed. Any synctx * that has this flag may or may not have the high FP registers * restored. In short: don't do it. * _MC_FLAGS_SYSCALL_CONTEXT * If set (hence _MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT is not set) indicates * that the scratch registers contain syscall arguments and * return values and that additionally IIP and CFM are valid. * Only the kernel is expected to create such a context. It's * probably wise to let the kernel restore it. */ typedef struct __mcontext { unsigned long mc_flags; #define _MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT 0x0001 #define _MC_FLAGS_HIGHFP_VALID 0x0002 #define _MC_FLAGS_SYSCALL_CONTEXT 0x0008 unsigned long _reserved_; struct _special mc_special; struct _callee_saved mc_preserved; struct _callee_saved_fp mc_preserved_fp; struct _caller_saved mc_scratch; struct _caller_saved_fp mc_scratch_fp; struct _high_fp mc_high_fp; } mcontext_t; #endif /* !_MACHINE_UCONTEXT_H_ */
