Subsystem:
linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers:
Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds
rtas_log_read() hands out a whole slot of the error log but
pSeries_log_error() only fills in the sequence number and the event,
which is usually a lot shorter. The rest of the slot is whatever
vmalloc() left there. Use vzalloc().
