What if we want to load more instructions than the number of registers available at a time...?

Question

I am referring to NASM. There are some standard registers in which we load instructions before calling the kernel.

I wanted to know if at some point we want to load more instructions than the number of registers available then what should we do.....???

Newbie to assembly. Pls Help..

In practice, for 32-bit system calls, if there are more parameters than we have registers (sooner than that, IME) we put the parameters in a structure and point ebx or ecx to it (sys_socketcall, e.g.). I'm new to 64-bit, but I imagine rdi... I think that's what you're asking. Got a specific example?
