The purpose was to indicate SYS.INIT takes RCX as input, but OK I agree it's
unnecessary.
I found the existing upstream TDX code uses this pattern (please see
tdx_parse_info(), hv_tdx_hypercall() and try_accept_one()):
struct tdx_module_args args = {};
args.xx = xx;
args.yy = yy;
...
So I followed in this series.
But I think explicit zeroing the structure isn't needed, so I think I'll just
remove the explicit initialization in the @args declaration in all SEAMCALLs
which use this pattern in this series:
struct tdx_module_args args;
/* RCX is module attributes and all bits are reserved */
args.rcx = 0;
Or just explicitly init RCX in the declaration:
struct tdx_module_args args = {
.rcx = 0; /* Module attributes. All bits reserved. */
};
// other variable declarations
But it seems many people don't like tail comment.
Hi Kirill/Dave,
Do you have any preference?
