Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/xen: use clear_bss() for Xen PV guests
Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2022 18:10:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220622161048.4483-2-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220622161048.4483-1-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.
