As the environ and _auxv support added for nolibc, the assembly _start function becomes more and more complex and therefore makes the porting of nolibc to new architectures harder and harder. To simplify portability, this C version of _start_c() is added to do most of the assembly start operations in C, which reduces the complexity a lot and will eventually simplify the porting of nolibc to the new architectures. The new _start_c() only requires a stack pointer argument, it will find argc, argv, envp/environ and _auxv for us, and then call main(), finally, it exit() with main's return status. With this new _start_c(), the future new architectures only require to add very few assembly instructions. As suggested by Thomas, users may use a different signature of main (e.g. void main(void)), a _nolibc_main alias is added for main to silence the warning about potential conflicting types. As suggested by Willy, the code is carefully polished for both smaller size and better readability with local variables and the right types.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
