+// FIXED_FRAME defines the size of the fixed part of a stack frame. A stack
+// frame looks like this:
+//
+// +---------------------+
+// | local variable area |
+// +---------------------+
+// | argument area |
+// +---------------------+ <- R1+FIXED_FRAME
+// | fixed area |
+// +---------------------+ <- R1
+//
+// So a function that sets up a stack frame at all uses as least FIXED_FRAME
+// bytes of stack. This mostly affects assembly that calls other functions
+// with arguments (the arguments should be stored at FIXED_FRAME+0(R1),
+// FIXED_FRAME+8(R1) etc) and some other low-level places.
+//
+// The reason for using a constant is to make supporting PIC easier (although
+// we only support PIC on ppc64le which has a minimum 32 bytes of stack frame,
+// and currently always use that much, PIC on ppc64 would need to use 48).
