+ *
+ * One challenge with showing nested data is we want to skip 0-valued
+ * data, but in order to figure out whether a nested object is all zeros
+ * we need to walk through it.  As a result, we need to make two passes
+ * when handling structs, unions and arrays; the first path simply looks
+ * for nonzero data, while the second actually does the display.  The first
+ * pass is signalled by show->state.depth_check being set, and if we
+ * encounter a non-zero value we set show->state.depth_to_show to
+ * the depth at which we encountered it.  When we have completed the
+ * first pass, we will know if anything needs to be displayed if
+ * depth_to_show > depth.  See btf_[struct,array]_show() for the
+ * implementation of this.
+ *
+ * Another problem is we want to ensure the data for display is safe to
+ * access.  To support this, the anonymous "struct {} obj" tracks the data
+ * object and our safe copy of it.  We copy portions of the data needed
+ * to the object "copy" buffer, but because its size is limited to
+ * BTF_SHOW_OBJ_COPY_LEN bytes, multiple copies may be required as we
+ * traverse larger objects for display.
+ *
+ * The various data type show functions all start with a call to
+ * btf_show_start_type() which returns a pointer to the safe copy
+ * of the data needed (or if BTF_SHOW_UNSAFE is specified, to the
+ * raw data itself).  btf_show_obj_safe() is responsible for
+ * using copy_from_kernel_nofault() to update the safe data if necessary
+ * as we traverse the object's data.  skbuff-like semantics are
+ * used:
+ *
+ * - obj.head points to the start of the toplevel object for display
+ * - obj.size is the size of the toplevel object
+ * - obj.data points to the current point in the original data at
+ *   which our safe data starts.  obj.data will advance as we copy
+ *   portions of the data.
+ *
+ * In most cases a single copy will suffice, but larger data structures
+ * such as "struct task_struct" will require many copies.  The logic in
+ * btf_show_obj_safe() handles the logic that determines if a new
+ * copy_from_kernel_nofault() is needed.
