451.1Scherry * The mc_flags field provides the necessary clues when dealing with the gory
461.1Scherry * details of ia64 specific contexts. A comprehensive explanation is added for
471.1Scherry * everybody's sanity, including the author's.
481.1Scherry *
491.1Scherry * The first and foremost variation in the context is synchronous contexts
501.1Scherry * (= synctx) versus asynchronous contexts (= asynctx). A synctx is created
511.1Scherry * synchronously WRT program execution and has the advantage that none of the
521.1Scherry * scratch registers have to be saved. They are assumed to be clobbered by the
531.1Scherry * call to the function that creates the context. An asynctx needs to have the
541.1Scherry * scratch registers preserved because it can describe any point in a thread's
551.1Scherry * (or process') execution.
561.1Scherry * The second variation is for synchronous contexts. When the kernel creates
571.1Scherry * a synchronous context if needs to preserve the scratch registers, because
581.1Scherry * the syscall argument and return values are stored there in the trapframe
591.1Scherry * and they need to be preserved in order to restart a syscall or return the
601.1Scherry * proper return values. Also, the IIP and CFM fields need to be preserved
611.1Scherry * as they point to the syscall stub, which the kernel saves as a favor to
621.1Scherry * userland (it keeps the stubs small and simple).
631.1Scherry *
641.1Scherry * Below a description of the flags and their meaning:
651.1Scherry *
661.1Scherry *	_MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT
671.1Scherry *		If set, indicates that mc_scratch and mc_scratch_fp are both
681.1Scherry *		valid. IFF not set, _MC_FLAGS_SYSCALL_CONTEXT indicates if the
691.1Scherry *		synchronous context is one corresponding to a syscall or not.
701.1Scherry *		Only the kernel is expected to create such a context and it's
711.1Scherry *		probably wise to let the kernel restore it.
721.1Scherry *	_MC_FLAGS_HIGHFP_VALID
731.1Scherry *		If set, indicates that the high FP registers (f32-f127) are
741.1Scherry *		valid. This flag is very likely not going to be set for any
751.1Scherry *		sensible synctx, but is not explicitly disallowed. Any synctx
761.1Scherry *		that has this flag may or may not have the high FP registers
771.1Scherry *		restored. In short: don't do it.
781.1Scherry *	_MC_FLAGS_SYSCALL_CONTEXT
791.1Scherry *		If set (hence _MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT is not set) indicates
801.1Scherry *		that the scratch registers contain syscall arguments and
811.1Scherry *		return values and that additionally IIP and CFM are valid.
821.1Scherry *		Only the kernel is expected to create such a context. It's
831.1Scherry *		probably wise to let the kernel restore it.
