Subject: [PATCH v2 01/15] x86/efi: Drop EFI stub .bss from .data section
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2023 09:00:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230912090051.4014114-18-ardb@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230912090051.4014114-17-ardb@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Now that the EFI stub always zero inits its BSS section upon entry,
there is no longer a need to place the BSS symbols carried by the stub
into the .data section.
