Ugh. At the very least this needs a comment in the code. I had a patch to fix the kernel ELF loader to clear BSS, which would fix this problem once and for all, but it didn't work due to the messy way that the decompressor handles memory. I never got around to fixing this, sadly. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
