Message-Id: <1380902566-30867-1-git-send-email-roy.franz@linaro.org> Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2013 09:02:46 -0700 From: Roy Franz <roy.franz@...aro.org> To: mingo@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-efi@...r.kernel.org, matt.fleming@...el.com, hpa@...or.com Cc: msalter@...hat.com, patches@...aro.org, Roy Franz <roy.franz@...aro.org> Subject: [PATCH] Remove redundant and incorrect memset() Remove a redundant memset() call from efi_relocate_kernel() that was clearing memory that would be used by BSS in non-compressed images loaded with this function. This clear was redundant with the clearing done in the image itself, and also implemented incorrectly with a 0 length.
