From 6970c8eff85dd450e7eff69dad710dcf594b1bb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:01:18 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] BINFMT: fill_elf_header cleanup - use straight memset first This patch does simplify fill_elf_header function by setting to zero the whole elf header first. So we fillup the fields we really need only. before: text data bss dec hex filename 11735 80 0 11815 2e27 fs/binfmt_elf.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 11710 80 0 11790 2e0e fs/binfmt_elf.o viola, 25 bytes of text is freed Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/binfmt_elf.c | 9 +++------ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/binfmt_elf.c b/fs/binfmt_elf.c index 9924581df6f..6cb4efbae88 100644 --- a/fs/binfmt_elf.c +++ b/fs/binfmt_elf.c @@ -1255,26 +1255,23 @@ static int writenote(struct memelfnote *men, struct file *file, static void fill_elf_header(struct elfhdr *elf, int segs, u16 machine, u32 flags, u8 osabi) { + memset(elf, 0, sizeof(*elf)); + memcpy(elf->e_ident, ELFMAG, SELFMAG); elf->e_ident[EI_CLASS] = ELF_CLASS; elf->e_ident[EI_DATA] = ELF_DATA; elf->e_ident[EI_VERSION] = EV_CURRENT; elf->e_ident[EI_OSABI] = ELF_OSABI; - memset(elf->e_ident+EI_PAD, 0, EI_NIDENT-EI_PAD); elf->e_type = ET_CORE; elf->e_machine = machine; elf->e_version = EV_CURRENT; - elf->e_entry = 0; elf->e_phoff = sizeof(struct elfhdr); - elf->e_shoff = 0; elf->e_flags = flags; elf->e_ehsize = sizeof(struct elfhdr); elf->e_phentsize = sizeof(struct elf_phdr); elf->e_phnum = segs; - elf->e_shentsize = 0; - elf->e_shnum = 0; - elf->e_shstrndx = 0; + return; } -- 2.20.1
