/* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
segment.
Note that the code in the .init section has already been run.
This includes _init and _libc_init
At this entry point, most registers' values are unspecified, except:
a1 Contains a function pointer to be registered with `atexit'.
This is how the dynamic linker arranges to have DT_FINI
functions called for shared libraries that have been loaded
before this code runs.
sp The stack contains the arguments and environment:
0(sp) argc
4(sp) argv[0]
...
(4*argc)(sp) NULL
(4*(argc+1))(sp) envp[0]
...
NULL
*/
/*
For uClinux it looks like this:
argc argument counter (integer)
argv char *argv[]
envp char *envp[]
argv[0] program name (pointer)
argv[1...N] program args (pointers)
argv[argc-1] end of args (integer)
NULL
env[0...N] environment variables (pointers)
NULL
ARM register quick reference:
Name Number ARM Procedure Calling Standard Role
a1 r0 argument 1 / integer result / scratch register / argc
a2 r1 argument 2 / scratch register / argv
a3 r2 argument 3 / scratch register / envp
a4 r3 argument 4 / scratch register
v1 r4 register variable
v2 r5 register variable
v3 r6 register variable
v4 r7 register variable
v5 r8 register variable
sb/v6 r9 static base / register variable
sl/v7 r10 stack limit / stack chunk handle / reg. variable
fp r11 frame pointer
ip r12 scratch register / new-sb in inter-link-unit calls
sp r13 lower end of current stack frame
