39 Note that the code in the .init section has already been run.
40 This includes _init and _libc_init
42 The stack pointer, sp, will point to the argument count on the stack.
43 The initial state of the stack when a userspace process is started is:
45 Purpose Start Address Length
46 Unspecified High Addresses
47 Referenced strings, etc. Varies
49 Null auxilliary vector entry 4bytes
50 Auxilliary vector entries 8bytes each
51 NULL terminator for envp 4bytes
52 Environment pointers sp+8+4*argc 4bytes each
53 NULL terminator for argv sp+4+4*argc 4bytes
54 Argument pointers sp+4 4bytes each
55 Argument count sp 4bytes
56 Unspecified Low Addresses
58 If the application should register a destructor function with atexit,
59 the pointer will be placed in r4. Otherwise r4 will be zero.
61 The contents of all other registers are unspecified. User code should
62 set fp to zero to mark the end of the frame chain.
64 The auxilliary vector is a series of pairs of 32-bit tag and 32-bit
65 value, terminated by an AT_NULL tag.
