Subject: [PATCH 4/4] x86/setup: prepend embedded bootconfig cmdline before parse_early_param
Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 09:41:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260527-bootconfig_using_tools-v1-4-b6906a86e7d5@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260527-bootconfig_using_tools-v1-0-b6906a86e7d5@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.
Select ARCH_SUPPORTS_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTCONFIG so the user-visible
CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_CMDLINE option becomes selectable on x86.
With this select in place, setup_boot_config() in init/main.c would
otherwise render the embedded "kernel" subtree a second time via
xbc_make_cmdline("kernel") and prepend it to saved_command_line /
static_command_line through extra_command_line, duplicating every
embedded kernel.* key in /proc/cmdline and causing accumulating
handlers (console=, earlycon=, ...) to register the same value twice.
Track whether the bootconfig data came from the embedded source and
skip the duplicate render in that case.
