| Cause | Description | |-------|-------------| | | Compiler or linker adds bytes to align bdscr to 4/8/16-byte boundaries, but over-aligns. | | Debug sections | .bdscr included in final binary despite being used only during development. | | Static allocation | Fixed array of descriptors (e.g., bdscr_t blocks[1024] ) where only 10 are used. | | Linker script inheritance | Copy-pasted linker scripts from generic BSPs that reserve huge .bdscr sections. | | Obfuscation / anti-reversing | Inserted dummy descriptors to confuse static analysis tools. |
