[PATCH v4 05/10] tools/nolibc: add missing my_syscall6() for mips

From: Zhangjin Wu
Date: Mon Jun 19 2023 - 11:47:37 EST


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().
