Re: starting function for kernel process

["sahlot arvind" <asahlot@xxxxxxxxx>]

True. but I think before start_kernel what comes into picture lies in head.S. Of course it is arch specific.

Thus the actual start up code is in head.S - 

for i386 it is arch/i386/kernel/head.S
for ARM it is arch/arm/kernel/head.S

AFAIK from there onwards control jumps to start_kernel () in init/main.c

Hi,

I guess it is start_kernel(), this is where the initial kernel command
line arguments are processed and various other things are initialized.

Hope that helps.
