[PATCH v4 07/44] x86/boot: move headroom to boot modules
Posted by Daniel P. Smith 3 months ago
The purpose of struct boot_module is to encapsulate the state of boot modules.
Doing locates boot module state with its respective boot module, reduces
globals and multiple state variables being passed around. It also lays the
ground work for hyperlaunch where more multiple instances of these state
variables like headroom will be needed.

I'm struggling with the start of this sentence.

Nit: This is badly indented. Either

    boot_info->mods[0].headroom = bzimage_headroom(
        bootstrap_map(boot_info->mods[0].early_mod),
        boot_info->mods[0].early_mod->mod_end);

or

    boot_info->mods[0].headroom =
        bzimage_headroom(
            bootstrap_map(boot_info->mods[0].early_mod),
            boot_info->mods[0].early_mod->mod_end);

or

    boot_info->mods[0].headroom =
        bzimage_headroom(bootstrap_map(boot_info->mods[0].early_mod),
                         boot_info->mods[0].early_mod->mod_end);

Even shortening "boot_info" will not avoid some line wrapping here, as it
looks.

Yep, grammar check failed to catch. Will fix.

I would lean towards the latter, as I find it the most clear. With the 
shortening of "boot_info" and dropping "early_" per Andy, It might bring 
it up one line. Will see when I do it.

This needs a comment explaining what it's for.  Perhaps crib from ...

... here, while also editing to to prevent it going stale.

It is this patch which stops modules_headroom being strictly the dom0
kernel.

Correct, because once multi-domain construction is introduced, there 
will be more than one kernel needing headroom for extraction.
