Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bootconfig: move xbc_snprint_cmdline() to lib/bootconfig.c
Date: Fri, 08 May 2026 06:55:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260508-bootconfig_using_tools-v1-1-1132219aa773@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260508-bootconfig_using_tools-v1-0-1132219aa773@debian.org>
Move xbc_snprint_cmdline() from init/main.c to lib/bootconfig.c so the
function (and its xbc_namebuf scratch buffer) becomes part of the shared
parser library. tools/bootconfig already compiles lib/bootconfig.c
directly, which lets a follow-up patch reuse the same renderer in the
userspace tool to convert a bootconfig file into a flat cmdline string
at build time.
No functional change.
