36 /* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
37 segment. The SVR4/i386 ABI (pages 3-31, 3-32) says that when the entry
38 point runs, most registers' values are unspecified, except for:
39
40 %edx Contains a function pointer to be registered with `atexit'.
41 This is how the dynamic linker arranges to have DT_FINI
42 functions called for shared libraries that have been loaded
43 before this code runs.
44
45 %esp The stack contains the arguments and environment:
46 0(%esp) argc
47 4(%esp) argv[0]
48 ...
49 (4*argc)(%esp) NULL
50 (4*(argc+1))(%esp) envp[0]
