/* Do a syscall on this platform, with 6 args, and return the result
   in canonical format in a SysRes value. */

// We use a full prototype for VG_(do_syscall) rather than "..." to ensure
// that all arguments get converted to a UWord appropriately.  Not doing so
// can cause problems when passing 32-bit integers on 64-bit platforms,
// because the top 32-bits might not be zeroed appropriately, eg. as would
// happen with the 6th arg on AMD64 which is passed on the stack.
