37 /* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
38 segment. The SVR4/i386 ABI (pages 3-31, 3-32) says that when the entry
39 point runs, most registers' values are unspecified, except for:
41 %rdx Contains a function pointer to be registered with `atexit'.
42 This is how the dynamic linker arranges to have DT_FINI
43 functions called for shared libraries that have been loaded
44 before this code runs.
46 %rsp The stack contains the arguments and environment:
50 (LP_SIZE*argc)(%rsp) NULL
51 (LP_SIZE*(argc+1))(%rsp) envp[0]
59 /* Clearing frame pointer is insufficient, use CFI. */
61 /* Clear the frame pointer. The ABI suggests this be done, to mark
62 the outermost frame obviously. */
65 /* Extract the arguments as encoded on the stack and set up
66 the arguments for __libc_start_main (int (*main) (int, char **, char **),
68 void (*init) (void), void (*fini) (void),
69 void (*rtld_fini) (void), void *stack_end).
70 The arguments are passed via registers and on the stack:
79 mov %RDX_LP, %R9_LP /* Address of the shared library termination
82 mov (%rsp), %esi /* Simulate popping 4-byte argument count. */
85 popq %rsi /* Pop the argument count. */
87 /* argv starts just at the current stack top. */
89 /* Align the stack to a 16 byte boundary to follow the ABI. */
92 /* Push garbage because we push 8 more bytes. */
95 /* Provide the highest stack address to the user code (for stacks
96 which grow downwards). */
100 /* Pass address of our own entry points to .fini and .init. */
101 mov __libc_csu_fini@GOTPCREL(%rip), %R8_LP
102 mov __libc_csu_init@GOTPCREL(%rip), %RCX_LP
104 mov main@GOTPCREL(%rip), %RDI_LP
106 /* Pass address of our own entry points to .fini and .init. */
107 mov $__libc_csu_fini, %R8_LP
108 mov $__libc_csu_init, %RCX_LP
113 /* Call the user's main function, and exit with its value.
114 But let the libc call main. Since __libc_start_main in
115 libc.so is called very early, lazy binding isn't relevant
116 here. Use indirect branch via GOT to avoid extra branch
117 to PLT slot. In case of static executable, ld in binutils
118 2.26 or above can convert indirect branch into direct
120 call *__libc_start_main@GOTPCREL(%rip)
122 hlt /* Crash if somehow `exit' does return. */
125 /* Define a symbol for the first piece of initialized data. */
