Subject: [PATCH] igvm: add command line parameter support
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:35:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930-igvm_command_line-v1-1-62857007d89d@redhat.com> (raw)
Add a "cmdline" property to the igvm-cfg object and a handler for the
IGVM_VHT_COMMAND_LINE directive, which copies the string into the
parameter area the directive points at.
This command line is intended for the component running at VMPL0, such
as SVSM, rather than for the guest OS, whose own command line still
comes from -append. SVSM can use it to select the serial port it logs
to, for example.
