Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 3/4] tools/bootconfig: Cleanup bootconfig footer size calculations
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 14:36:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916183652.1772436-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916183652.1772436-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit 26dda57695090e05c1a99c3e8f802f862d1ac474 ]
There are many same pattern of 8 + BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN for calculating
the size of bootconfig footer. Use BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE macro to
clean up those magic numbers.
