Those are the registers Linux uses for system calls on MIPS. They are documented as such here: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscall.2.html > The second table shows the registers used > to pass the system call arguments. > > ... > > mips/o32 a0 a1 a2 a3 > mips/n32,64 a0 a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 > > ... So they match the normal function calling convention? That's neat. I don't have much experience with MIPS so I didn't recognize it. I'm not sure how NetBSD does system calls but I know the ABI is not considered stable.
