36 /* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
37 segment. The ELF standard tells us that the stack is set up like this on
38 entry (the left side is the offset from "sp"), in units of
39 __SIZEOF_POINTER__ entries:
50 The ElfInfo is pairs of key/value long words following the envp
51 pointers and terminated by a zero-valued key.
53 Although not mandated by the standard, it happens to be the case
54 that we store the actual argv and envp strings immediately after
55 the ElfInfo data on the stack.
57 On entry r0 points to the shared library termination function, or 0
