From 7c53976404e2f906c60b69cc5793add87ee49c6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander van Heukelum Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2008 12:54:30 +0200 Subject: x86: cleanup boot-heap usage The kernel decompressor wrapper uses memory located beyond the end of the image. This might lead to hard to debug problems, but even if it can be proven to be safe, it is at the very least unclean. I don't see any advantages either, unless you count it not being zeroed out as an advantage. This patch moves the boot-heap area to the bss segment.
