Hi Linus,
Sorry for sending this pull request last minutes. This branch missed the last
merge window and had been sitting in the for-next branch; I nearly forgot about it.
Bootconfig updates for v7.3:
- bootconfig: Support build-time command line rendering for embedded bootconfig
. bootconfig: render descendant keys when xbc_snprint_cmdline() root has a
value. Fix xbc_snprint_cmdline() to render descendant keys when the root
has both a value and subkeys, and treats empty subtrees correctly.
. bootconfig: render embedded bootconfig as a kernel cmdline at build time.
Add build-time pipeline using tools/bootconfig -C to render the embedded
bootconfig "kernel" subtree into .init.rodata as a cmdline string.
. bootconfig: clean build-time tools/bootconfig from make clean.
. bootconfig: add xbc_prepend_embedded_cmdline() helper.
Add helper to prepend embedded bootconfig cmdline into boot_command_line
early before parse_early_param().
. x86/setup: prepend embedded bootconfig cmdline before parse_early_param.
Wire early prepend helper in x86 setup_arch() so early_param handlers see
values from the embedded bootconfig. (So this feature is currently x86 only)
. bootconfig: skip runtime kernel.* render once prepended early.
Avoid duplicating "kernel" keys in setup_boot_config().
. init/main.c: use bootconfig_cmdline_requested() for the runtime opt-in.
Refactor setup_boot_config() to share bootconfig_cmdline_requested().
. Documentation: bootconfig: document build-time cmdline rendering.
Document CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTCONFIG usage, requirements, and precedence.
