Linux kernel source tree
header_buf, symlink_buf and name_buf all share the same lifecycle so needn't be allocated / freed separately. This change leads to a minor reduction in .text size: before: text data bss dec hex filename 7914 1110 8 9032 2348 init/initramfs.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 7854 1110 8 8972 230c init/initramfs.o A previous iteration of this patch reused a single buffer instead of three, given that buffer use is state-sequential (GotHeader, GotName, GotSymlink). However, the slight decrease in heap use during early boot isn't really worth the extra review complexity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
