 or in registers.  The jprobe will work in either case, so long as the
 handler's prototype matches that of the probed function.
 
+Note that in some architectures (e.g.: arm64 and sparc64) the stack
+copy is not done, as the actual location of stacked parameters may be
+outside of a reasonable MAX_STACK_SIZE value and because that location
+cannot be determined by the jprobes code. In this case the jprobes
+user must be careful to make certain the calling signature of the

+bytes, or more than 64 bytes of argument data, depending on
+architecture).
