void L4_NORETURN name(void)

Defines a wrapper function that sets up the registers according to the calling conventions for the architecture.

Use this as a function header when starting a low-level thread where only stack and instruction pointer are in a well-defined state.

Example:

L4UTIL_THREAD_FUNC(helper_thread) { l4_infinite_loop(); }

thread_cap->ex_regs((l4_umword_t)helper_thread, stack_addr);
