How linux calls happens while it starts ?

We start the Linux kernel first from C code executed from ''startup_32:'' asm label:

|startup_32:
|start_kernel
|lock_kernel
|trap_init
|init_IRQ
|sched_init
|softirq_init
|time_init
|console_init
|#ifdef CONFIG_MODULES
|init_modules
|#endif
|kmem_cache_init
|sti
|calibrate_delay
|mem_init
|kmem_cache_sizes_init
|pgtable_cache_init
|fork_init
|proc_caches_init
|vfs_caches_init
|buffer_init
|page_cache_init
|signals_init
|#ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS
|proc_root_init
|#endif
|#if defined(CONFIG_SYSVIPC)
|ipc_init
|#endif
|check_bugs
|smp_init
|rest_init
|kernel_thread
|unlock_kernel
|cpu_idle

The last function ''rest_init'' does the following:

1. launches the kernel thread ''init''
2. calls unlock_kernel
3. makes the kernel run cpu_idle routine, that will be the idle loop executing when nothing is scheduled

In fact the start_kernel procedure never ends. It will execute cpu_idle routine endlessly.

Follows ''init'' description, which is the first Kernel Thread:

|init
|lock_kernel
|do_basic_setup
|mtrr_init
|sysctl_init
|pci_init
|sock_init
|start_context_thread
|do_init_calls
|(*call())-> kswapd_init
|prepare_namespace
|free_initmem
|unlock_kernel
|execve
