Hi everyone.

I am poring Linux 2.4 to MIPS(R3000).

I have a some problem. please tell me some direction or answer.

After the /sbin/init is started,  the elf handler is loaded.
          kernel message --> "Using ELF interpreter /lib/ld.so.1"
After elf handler is loaded,  the elf interperter is
loaded(load_elf_interp).
In the load_elf_interp funcion, padzero is not work.
       /*
         * Now fill out the bss section.  First pad the last page up
         * to the page boundary, and then perform a mmap to make sure
         * that there are zero-mapped pages up to and including the
         * last bss page.
         */
        padzero(elf_bss);

why the padzero function is not working?

Kang..
