Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86/boot: clear some fields explicitly
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2019 16:15:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190724231528.32381-2-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190724231528.32381-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com>

From: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>

Recent gcc compilers (gcc 9.1) generate warnings about an
out of bounds memset, if you trying memset across several fields
of a struct. This generated a couple of warnings on x86_64 builds.

Because struct boot_params is __packed__, normal variable
variable assignment will work just as well as a memset here.
Change three u32 fields to be cleared to zero that way, and
just memset the _pad4 field.

This clears up the build warnings for me.
