Hi, I was looking at how execve syscalls work wrt to 32/64 syscalls. I have a basic question. I appreciate if some once can clarify. I apologize if I am overlooking some thing very obvious. The ia32_execve (in ia32_entry.S) sets up out0, out1, out2 and out3 before invoking sys32_execve. The out3 is setup for regs. But, in sys32_execve, the regs is set locally using 9th parameters. I can see how the regs is set using 9th parameter. I don't understand why is set again in sys32_execve when it is already set in out3 in ia32_execve and could have used as 4th parameter? Does args mis-match between ia32_execve and sys32_execve matter? OTH, sys_execve does use the regs set in ia64_execve. Sorry, if i am overlooking something.
