Subject: [PATCH] xen/x86: Zero out .bss for PV guests
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 17:06:07 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456178767-8038-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> (raw)

Baremetal kernels clear .bss early in the boot. Since Xen PV guests don't
excecute that early code they should do it too.

(Since we introduce macros for specifying 32- and 64-bit registers we
can get rid of ifdefs in startup_xen())
