Subject: [PATCH v7 7/9] x86/setup: prepend embedded bootconfig cmdline before parse_early_param
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 05:50:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626-bootconfig_using_tools-v7-7-24ab72139c29@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626-bootconfig_using_tools-v7-0-24ab72139c29@debian.org>
Call xbc_prepend_embedded_cmdline() in setup_arch() right after the
CONFIG_CMDLINE merge and before strscpy(command_line, ...) so the
build-time-rendered embedded bootconfig "kernel" subtree is part of
boot_command_line by the time parse_early_param() runs. early_param()
handlers (mem=, earlycon=, loglevel=, ...) now see values supplied via
CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE without parsing bootconfig at runtime.
Gate the prepend on the same opt-in the runtime parser uses: prepend
when "bootconfig" is present on the command line, or when
CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE is set. Detect it with parse_args(), exactly
as setup_boot_config() does, so both agree on what counts as opt-in:
any "bootconfig" key regardless of value (bare, =0, =1, ...), and only
before the "--" that separates init arguments. Sharing the parser keeps
the early and late paths from diverging -- e.g. "bootconfig=0" or a
"-- bootconfig" meant for init must not apply the embedded keys early
while the runtime parser skips them.
The prepend necessarily runs before setup_boot_config() detects an
initrd bootconfig, so an initrd cannot override the embedded "kernel"
keys for early_param(). This is intentional: the embedded cmdline acts
like a build-time CONFIG_CMDLINE. An initrd bootconfig's "kernel" keys
never reached early_param() anyway (they apply late via
extra_command_line), so nothing is lost -- the initrd keys still apply
late, with last-wins keeping the embedded values in effect.
