Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] powerpc/fsl_booke/64: do not clear the BSS for the second pass
Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 10:55:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200205025527.28640-5-yanaijie@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200205025527.28640-1-yanaijie@huawei.com>

The BSS section has already cleared out in the first pass. No need to
clear it again. This can save some time when booting with KASLR
enabled.
