| |
Hi Peter, Sam,
could you take a look on x86/boot/header.S:280 please?
# Zero the bss movw $__bss_start, %di movw $_end+3, %cx xorl %eax, %eax subw %di, %cx shrw $2, %cx rep; stosl
I wonder why is $_end there instead of $__bss_stop? Well, accroding to vmlinux_32.lsd both _end and __bss_stop are the same BUT __bss_stop is more convenient methink. Would it be usefull to change?
