clearing bss segment while booting linux kernel

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

 



Hi all,

I read in one article related to booting of linux
kernel that "uClinux startup code will have to do all
hardware setup and it will have to load the kernel
data segment in RAM and clear the bss segment". In the
above statement i am not getting the use of "clearing
the bss segment". Can anybody plz help me in that.

Thanks in advance,
Deepak Joshi.
