Subject: [S390] Poison init section before freeing it.
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 16:22:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061208152201.GC15860@skybase> (raw)

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

[S390] Poison init section before freeing it.

The data patterns should allow us to easily tell if somebody accesses
initdata/code after it was freed. Same code as on various other
architectures.
