[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4]

[Cory Fields]

This patchset creates new -boot options quiet and prompt.
Syntax: qemu -boot cad,quiet=foo,prompt=bar

See discussion on the kvm mailing list:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kvm/2009/2/7/4921514/thread

quiet silences normal text output from the bios and vgabios. I 
rarely care to see this output and it looks much cleaner when the 
first thing shown in a KVM window is init or splash (or the dreaded 
Windows logo)

prompt=0 lets you explicitly skip the "Press f12 for boot menu" option 
saving ~3 seconds on each boot. It is also implied by quietboot.
This is the default action. prompt=1 must be specified in order to
see this menu.

I'm very new to patches and mailing lists so any 
etiquette/procedural comments or critiques are appreciated.
Feel free to bash me or the code...

Also, my asm-fu is weak so I'm sure those few lines need some help.

Are these config parameters relevant to platforms other then x86?

Sparc and PPC use -prom-env 'auto-boot?=false' for !BIOSPROMPT
equivalent: OpenBIOS boots without delay from the device specified
with -boot, with auto-boot? variable set to false you get the Forth
prompt.

It would be possible to add FW_CFG_BIOSPROMPT support to OpenBIOS, but
it's duplicate functionality.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add args for quiet and prompt

[Cory Fields]

Syntax is -boot [cad],prompt=x,quiet=x where x is [0,1,true,false]
Boot drive is mandatory
If prompt is set user will see "Press f12 for boot menu"
This behavior has changed, it is now off by default

If quiet is set user will see no normal text output from bios.
Errors will stil be displayed.

What is the reason for this change? You could still split optarg in the
code below and keep boot_devices as a pointer...

snprintf(), optarg has no bounds and boot_opts does.

This all looks like 2-space tabs, QEMU uses 4-space tabs.  I'd suggest 
factoring this out into a separate function too.

Just sent out a patch to fix vl.c before i noticed your suggestions. 
Will fix whitespace and move into a new function.

Note: Default behavior is changed. Now it will default to skipping
the boot menu.

Maybe just make a change in printf() to suppress output if quietbios?

 > Maybe just make a change in printf() to suppress output if quietbios?

That's how it was first written, but that suppressed all output. This 
way only normal output is hidden but errors are still displayed. Do you 
think this behavior should be changed?

Same as v1 except vl.c changed as per Kevin Wolf's suggestion.
boot_devices is now left alone.

Note: Default behavior is changed. Now it will default to skipping
