Subject: [PATCH 03/19] arc: define DPS root partition type UUID
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:08:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615-discoverable-root_partitions-v1-3-39c78fac42e2@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615-discoverable-root_partitions-v1-0-39c78fac42e2@kernel.org>
DPS [1] assigns GPT partition type UUIDs to operating system partitions.
Root partitions use architecture-specific type UUIDs so the OS can
discover the intended root filesystem without relying on a root= cmdline
option.
Define DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID in asm/dps_root.h for ARC and select
ARCH_HAS_DPS_ROOT_PARTITION_TYPE_UUID.
[1] The Discoverable Partitions Specification (DPS)
