+ bool "Init with zeros the memory reserved for malloc (slow)"
+ default y
+ help
+ This setting is enabled by default. The reserved malloc
+ memory is initialized with zeros, so first malloc calls
+ will return the pointer to the zeroed memory. But this
+ slows the boot time.
+
+ It is recommended to disable it, when CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
+ value, has more than few MiB, e.g. when uses bzip2 or bmp logo.
+ Then the boot time can be significantly reduced.
+ Warning:
+ When disabling this, please check if malloc calls, maybe
+ should be replaced by calloc - if expects zeroed memory.
