Subject: [PATCH] Terminate i386 local APIC DMI exception table
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 2004 13:48:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m36560exum.fsf@averell.firstfloor.org> (raw)
[sending directly to Linus because Andrew said he is away]
The i386 local APIC DMI exception table was not 0 terminated. The dmi
parser would walk into random .data space. Found during code review,
not known to cause problems, but should be still fixed. I checked all
other DMI tables and they seemed to be ok.
