[PATCH v6 05/15] tools/nolibc: add missing my_syscall6() for mips

Fri Jul 7 07:55:35 PDT 2023


It is able to pass the 6th argument like the 5th argument via the stack
for mips, let's add a new my_syscall6() now, see [1] for details:

  The mips/o32 system call convention passes arguments 5 through 8 on
  the user stack.

Both mmap() and pselect6() require my_syscall6().
