Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] x86/xen: use clear_bss() for Xen PV guests
Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2022 11:46:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220623094608.7294-2-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220623094608.7294-1-jgross@suse.com>

Instead of clearing the bss area in assembly code, use the clear_bss()
function.

This requires to pass the start_info address as parameter to
xen_start_kernel() in order to avoid the xen_start_info being zeroed
again.
