Subject: [PATCH kvm-unit-tests] arm/arm64: Zero BSS and stack at startup
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 13:10:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210322121058.62072-1-drjones@redhat.com> (raw)
So far we've counted on QEMU or kvmtool implicitly zeroing all memory.
With our goal of eventually supporting bare-metal targets with
target-efi we should explicitly zero any memory we expect to be zeroed
ourselves. This obviously includes the BSS, but also the bootcpu's
stack, as the bootcpu's thread-info lives in the stack and may get
used in early setup to get the cpu index. Note, this means we still
assume the bootcpu's cpu index to be zero. That assumption can be
removed later.
