If we need to sanitize more words later, then we can open it up to more. But why do this work when it's not needed. We are going from calling this function a 100 times to calling it a 1000 times. That's an order of magnitude, and I'm not sure we want to do that if it's not needed. > > Or, maybe we can sanitize it while building the kernel as a part > of post build process. Ideally, that would be best, but parsing the elf file isn't trivial. I would say let's just add this conditional for now, and then we can start working on a way to parse all of this at build time. -- Steve
