- Subject: a question about directive .fill
Hi, All !
What the difference between .fill 1024,4,0 and .fill 4096,1,0 ?
Why are there the two directives in <arch/i386/kernel/head.S> file of
linux kernel 2.6.11?
414 .section ".bss.page_aligned","w"
415 ENTRY(swapper_pg_dir)
416 .fill 1024,4,0
417 ENTRY(empty_zero_page)
418 .fill 4096,1,0
Thanks!
Regards,
Cheng
