// NOTE: SyscallN does not properly call functions that have both integer and float parameters.

// The pragma go:nosplit is not needed at this function declaration because it uses go:uintptrescapes
// which forces all the objects that the uintptrs point to onto the heap where a stack split won't affect
// their memory location.
