[PATCH 1/2] Add .init.bss section

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch creates a new init section called .init.bss.

This section is similar to .init.data but doesn't consume
any space in the vmlinux image.

All data marked as part of this section must not be initialized,
of course.
