hello,
I am reading arm linux kernel and find some codes as follows in head-armv.s:

.section ".text.init",#alloc,#execinstr
.type	stext, #function
ENTRY(stext)

I have read the gas manual,but didn't find the explanation of "ENTRY",
is it a directive of gas? Is "stext" a label and what is its value?

Thanks first!
