[PATCH v2] target/s390x/arch_dump: Simplify memory allocation in s390x_write_elf64_notes()
Posted by Thomas Huth 1 year, 2 months ago
We are not on a hot path here, so there is no real need for the logic
here with the split heap and stack space allocation. Simplify it by
always allocating memory from the heap.

 v2:
 - Added the missing "prev_size = note_size" (thanks, Janosch!)
 - Use g_free+g_malloc instead of g_realloc to avoid copying old contents
