Where is kernel entry code

[Marcus Hähnel]

Hello,

Please look at the l4sys package in L4Re. You can find the details on 
the invocation of the kernel there. The actual call is made by jumping 
to the syscall page / KIP. The call is made from here:

pkg/l4sys/include/ARCH-x86/ipc-invoke.h
pkg/l4sys/include/ARCH-x86/L4API-l4f/ipc-l42-gcc3-nopic.h
pkg/l4sys/lib/src/ARCH-x86/syscalls_direct.S

see also the code in the kernel here: 
src/kern/ia32/32/sys_call_page-abs-ia32.cpp
and here: src/kern/ia32/32/sys_call_page-asm.S
