(In such a case, the instructions of the global entry setup sequence may optionally be initialized with TRAP instructions.) - A function with an st_other value of 1 is - identified by a .localentry directive with a value of 1. + The value of st_other is determined + from the .localentry directive as follows: If the .localentry + value is 0, the value of st_other is 0.

In this case, the large program model must be used, and the above sequence is
