Clean uncompressed kernel .bss section in the startup code before the uncompressed kernel is executed. At this point of time initrd and certificates have been already rescued. Uncompressed kernel .bss size is known from vmlinux_info. It is also taken into consideration during uncompressed kernel positioning by kaslr (so it is safe to clean it). With that uncompressed kernel is starting with .bss section zeroed and no .bss section usage restrictions apply. Which makes chkbss checks for uncompressed kernel objects obsolete and they can be removed. early_nobss.c is also not needed anymore. Parts of it which are still relevant are moved to early.c. Kasan initialization code is now called directly from head64 (early.c is instrumented and should not be executed before kasan shadow memory is set up).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
