  * libc_init_static.c
  *
- * This function is called for static executables, i.e. those that
- * dont depend on shared libraries and are directly started by the
- * Linux kernel.
- *
- * It takes the raw data block set up by the ELF loader
- * in the kernel and parses it.
+ * This function takes the raw data block set up by the ELF loader
+ * in the kernel and parses it.  It is invoked by crt0.S which makes
+ * any necessary adjustments and passes calls this function using
+ * the standard C calling convention.
  *
  * The arguments are:
- *      elfdata   -- The ELF loader data block; usually from the stack.
- *                   Basically a pointer to argc.
- *
- *      onexit    -- Function to call on exit, can be NULL.
- *
- *      slingshot -- Address of the program's main function
- *
- *      structors -- Table of constructor functions arrays that must
- *                   be called before the slingshot.
- *
- * It is called from the assembly fragment found in
- * arch-$ARCH/bionic/crtbegin_static.S
+ *  uintptr_t *elfdata	 -- The ELF loader data block; usually from the stack.
+ *                          Basically a pointer to argc.
+ *  void (*onexit)(void) -- Function to install into onexit
