Subject: [Q] GRUB -> __start_xen?
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 14:25:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050624182542.GC339769@marburg.zko.dec.com> (raw)

I am trying to understand the internals of Xen.

On x86 (and may be other architectures), it appears to me 
that xen's entry point is 

         void __init __start_xen(multiboot_info_t *mbi)

that lives in xeno-unstable.bk/xen/arch/x86/setup.c.

1. Who builds the structure mbi and calls __start_xen?
2. How is __satrt_xen registered as the entry point?

Is there a place that I can read to understand the transfer
of control from multiboot GRUB to xen's entry point?

Thanks,

Bharadwaj
