Subject: [PATCH] objtool: initialize all of struct elf
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2023 12:05:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230629102051.42E8360467@lion.mk-sys.cz> (raw)

Function elf_open_read() only zero initializes the initial part of
allocated struct elf; num_relocs member was recently added outside the
zeroed part so that it was left uninitialized, resulting in build failures
on some systems.

The partial initialization is a relic of times when struct elf had large
hash tables embedded. This is no longer the case so remove the trap and
initialize the whole structure instead.

Fixes: eb0481bbc4ce ("objtool: Fix reloc_hash size")
