Sungju's Slow Life

Brief notes for me which registers are used when passing function arguments on x86_64:

%rdi - 1st argument (%rdi:64, %edi:32, %di:16, %dl:8)

%rsi - 2nd argument (%rsi:64, %esi:32, %si:16, %sl:8)

%rdx - 3rd argument (%rdx:64, %edx:32, %dx:16, %dl:8)

%rcx - 4th argument (%rcx:64, %ecx:32, %cx:16, %cl:8)

%r8 - 5th argument (%r8:64, %r8d:32, %r8w:16, %r8b:8)

%r9 - 6th argument (%r9:64, %r9d:32, %r9w:16, %r9b:8)

%rsp - Stack pointer

%rax - Return value
