[PATCH] xen/x86: drop redundant zeroing from cpu_initialize_context()

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Thu Sep 16 2021 - 11:05:48 EST


Just after having obtained the pointer from kzalloc() there's no reason
at all to set part of the area to all zero yet another time. Similarly
there's no point explicitly clearing "ldt_ents".
