You could also look at "src/lib/libc/amd64/SYS.h" for how
system calls are implemented. In particular,
#define KERNCALL movq %rcx, %r10; syscall
A system call transfers control to:
"src/sys/amd46/amd64/exception.S":
... snip ...
IDTVEC(fast_syscall)
swapgs
movq %rsp,PCPU(SCRATCH_RSP)
movq PCPU(RSP0),%rsp
... etc ...
The x86-64 ABI is defined in:
