I think you may know the reason...

commit f61872bb58a1cd8f0422aab1940eeee8be579d38
Author: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Date:   Fri Feb 7 19:07:37 2020 -0500

    bootconfig: Use parse_args() to find bootconfig and '--'
...
-       p = strstr(cmdline, "bootconfig");
-       if (!p || (p != cmdline && !isspace(*(p-1))) ||
-           (p[10] && !isspace(p[10])))
+       strlcpy(tmp_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
+       parse_args("bootconfig", tmp_cmdline, NULL, 0, 0, 0, NULL,
+                  bootconfig_params);
+
+       if (!bootconfig_found)

I guess since the boot_command_line has fixed length, it is safer to
allocate fixed length memory for tmp_cmdline. Is that correct?

Thank you,
