-on application entry:
- there is a 1MiB - 8KiB area mapped writable and not
- executable with guard pages on either side, and rsp is
- set to the top of that. all other registers are set to 0.
-
-the ARGC environment variable holds the number of arguments to main.
-the ARGV0, ARGV1, ARGV2, etc environment variables hold those arguments.
-
-for all system calls:
- rax, rdi, rsi, rdx are in/out paramters.
- rbx, rbp, rsp, r12-r15 are preserved.
- rcx, rflags, r8-r11 are clobbered.
-
-interrupts (including the timer!) are disabled during system calls.
