Yes, that is "push * 3" part. And "- ret"  is that the stack entry is consumed
by the "ret", which is stored by call.

1: |--------| <- sp at function entry == ri->stack
0: |ret-addr| <- call pushed it

0: |ret-addr| <- sp at return trampoline

3: |r11     | <- regs->sp at syscall
2: |rcx     |
1: |rax     | <- ri->stack
0: |ret-addr|

(Note: The lower the line, the larger the address.)

Thus, we can check the stack address by (regs->sp + 16 == ri->stack).

Thank you,
