WARNING: i0nic just tweeted:
The CPU system call description on theiphonewiki is wrong
Yes, the CPU syscall part is completely bogus.
as in: CPU syscalls are not called as described there
I think R12 must be 0x80000000, R3 is code and R0-R2 are parameters?!?
-- This doesn't make sense. Please see talk page.
Note on these
Args go in their normal registers, like arg1 in R0, as usual. Syscall # goes in IP (that's intra-procedural, not instruction pointer!), a.k.a R12.
As in all ARM (i.e. also on Android) the kernel entry is accomplished by the SVC command (SWI in some debuggers and ARM dialects). On the kernel end, a low level CPU exception handler (fleh_swi) is installed as part of the ExceptionVectorsBase, and - upon issuing a SWI/SVC - control is transferred to that address. This handler can check the syscall number to distinguish between POSIX calls (non negative) and Mach traps (negative).
CPU
Usage
MOV R12, #x // number from list swi 0x80 bx lr
List
- Clear Instruction Cache: 0
- Flush Data Cache: 1
- _pthread_set_self: 2
- Unknown: 3
Unix
Usage
MOV IP, #x // number from following list into Intraprocedural, a.k.a. r12 SVC 0x80 // Formerly, SWI (software interrupt)
For example:
(gdb) disass chown 0x30d2ad54 <chown>: mov r12, #16 ; 0x10, being # of chown 0x30d2ad58 <chown+4>: svc 0x00000080
Most of these are the same as you would find in the XNU open source kernel, with ARM idiosyncrasies aside (and #372, ledger)
