+// FreeBSD 8, FreeBSD 9, and older versions that I have checked
+// do not restore R10 on exit from a "restarted" system call
+// if you use the SYSCALL instruction. This means that, for example,
+// if a signal arrives while the wait4 system call is executing,
+// the wait4 internally returns ERESTART, which makes the kernel
+// back up the PC to execute the SYSCALL instruction a second time.
+// However, since the kernel does not restore R10, the fourth
+// argument to the system call has been lost. (FreeBSD 9 also fails
+// to restore the fifth and sixth arguments, R8 and R9, although
+// some earlier versions did restore those correctly.)
+// The broken code is in fast_syscall in FreeBSD's amd64/amd64/exception.S.
+// It restores only DI, SI, DX, AX, and RFLAGS on system call return.
+// http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/amd64/amd64/exception.S?v=FREEBSD91#L399
+//
+// The INT $0x80 system call path (int0x80_syscall in FreeBSD's
+// amd64/ia32/ia32_exception.S) does not have this problem,
+// but it expects the third argument in R10. Instead of rewriting
+// all the assembly in this file, #define SYSCALL to a safe simulation
+// using INT $0x80.
+/
+// INT $0x80 is a little slower than SYSCALL, but correctness wins.
+//
+// See golang.org/issue/6372.
