// _RtlCheckStack (
//    IN ULONG Allocation
//    )
//
// Routine Description:
//
//    This function provides runtime stack checking for local allocations
//    that are more than a page and for storage dynamically allocated with
//    the alloca function. Stack checking consists of probing downward in
//    the stack a page at a time. If the current stack commitment is exceeded,
//    then the system will automatically attempts to expand the stack. If the
//    attempt succeeds, then another page is committed. Otherwise, a stack
//    overflow exception is raised. It is the responsibility of the caller to
//    handle this exception.
//
//    N.B. This routine is called using a non-standard calling sequence since
//       it is typically called from within the prologue. The allocation size
//       argument is in register t12 and it must be preserved. Register t11
//       may contain the callers saved ra and it must be preserved. The choice
//       of these registers is hard-coded into the acc C compiler. Register v0
//       may contain a static link pointer (exception handlers) and so it must
//       be preserved. Since this function is called from within the prolog,
//       the a' registers must be preserved, as well as all the s' registers.
//       Registers t8, t9, and t10 are used by this function and are not
//       preserved.
//
//       The typical calling sequence from the prologue is:
//
//           mov   ra, t11              // save return address
//           ldil  t12, SIZE            // set requested stack frame size
//           bsr   ra, _RtlCheckStack   // check stack page allocation
//           subq  sp, t12, sp          // allocate stack frame
//           mov   t11, ra              // restore return address
//
// Arguments:
//
//    Allocation (t12) - Supplies the size of the allocation on the stack.
//
// Return Value:
//
//    None.
//

        subq    sp, t12, t8             // compute requested new stack address

#endif

//
// The requested bottom of the stack is in t8.
// The current low limit of the stack is in t9.
//
// If the new stack address is greater than the current stack limit, then the
// pages have already been allocated, and nothing further needs to be done.

        and     t8, t10, t8             //   to next page boundary

//
// Go down one page, touch one quadword in it, and repeat until we reach the
// new stack limit.

        beq     t10, 30b                // if eq [false], more pages to probe
