[PATCH v8 0/5] Parse CONFIG_CMDLINE in compressed kernel

[PATCH v8 0/5] Parse CONFIG_CMDLINE in compressed kernel

[Evgeniy Baskov]

CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL and CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE were ignored during
options lookup in compressed kernel, including earlyprintk option,
so it was impossible to get earlyprintk messages from that stage
of boot process via command line provided at compile time.
Being able to enable earlyprintk via compile-time option might
be desirable for booting on systems with broken UEFI command line
arguments via EFISTUB.

Changes in v2:

* Compute resulting cmdline string once if needed and then reuse it.
  Store concatenation result in a static buffer.
* Add strlcat() to compressed kernel to simplify the code.

Changes in v3:

v2 had a bug: cmd_line_ptr was set to a pointer to a buffer inside
a kernel before kernel relocation, that makes this pointer invalid.

* Replace the pointer by a boolean variable to avoid storing a pointer,
  since it becomes invalid during kernel relocation.

Changes in v4:

* Use better wording for commit messages.
* Add buffer overflow check to strlcat().
* Factor out common logic of cmdline resolving into helper function.

Changes in v5:

* Use strscpy() instead of strlcpy().

Changes in v6:

* Remove superfluous new line.
* Rename resolve_cmdline() to cmdline_prepare().
* Move shared/setup-cmdline.h to shared/cmdline.h

Changes in v7:

* Replace #ifdef with IS_ENABLED() in cmdline_prepare()
  for consistency.

Changes in v8:

* Remove the need to use special initial value for command line result
  variable and put all logic in one function to improve the clarity
  of the code.

One #ifdef is still required for the initial value of builtin cmdline
in case iti is not defined to enable the use of IS_ENABLED in
cmdline_prapare(), since it is more readable.

[PATCH v8 1/5] x86/boot: Add strlcat() and strscpy() to compressed kernel

[Evgeniy Baskov]

These functions simplify the code of command line concatenation
helper and reduce the probability of mistakes.

Use simpler implementation of strscpy than used in it kernel itself
to avoid code bloat in compressed kernel.

[PATCH v8 2/5] x86: Add cmdline_prepare() helper

[Evgeniy Baskov]

Command line needs to be combined in both compressed and uncompressed
kernel from built-in and boot command line strings, which requires
non-trivial logic depending on CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL and
CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE.

Add a helper function to avoid code duplication.

You keep changing what I'm suggesting and the next patch has a strscpy()
outside of the function.

When I say it should be all concentrated in one function, I really mean
it.

So now it is my turn: I'll do it how I think it should be done and you
can review it.

Ok, here are two patches as a reply to this message.

I was able to test them as much as I can in a VM here but I'd need more
details/testing in your configuration with earlyprintk as a builtin
cmdline.

cmdline_prepare() has grown a bit hairy in the end but I've tried hard
to comment what happens there so that it is clear for the future. The
main goal being to concentrate all command line strings processing in
that function and not have it spread around the tree. And yes, there are
more cleanups possible.

In the compressed stage I'm using the cmdline which is in boot_params as
source and destination to basically add only the builtin cmdline.

In kernel proper the boot_command_line comes from generic code and that
is a whole another way of crazy in itself when I look at init/main.c

And as previously stated - the goal is to have everything in one place
and documented as good as possible so that trying to figure out how
command line parsing is done doesn't send you on grepping spree around
the tree.

Suggestions how to simplify this even more are always welcome, ofc.

Thx.

[PATCH 1/2] x86/boot: Add a function for kernel command line preparation

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2022 15:31:59 +0100

Since both the compressed kernel and kernel proper need to deal with the
command line, add a common helper which abstracts away all the details.

[PATCH 2/2] x86/boot: Use cmdline_prepare() in the compressed stage

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2022 19:30:09 +0100

Use cmdline_prepare() in the compressed stage so that builtin
command line (CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL) and overridden command line
(CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE) strings are visible in the compressed kernel
too.

Use case being, supplying earlyprintk via a compile-time option for
booting on systems with broken UEFI command line arguments via EFISTUB.

Thanks for your time!

This patch has a few problems I was trying to avoid though:
* It has different behavior for dst == boot_command_line and dst !=
   boot_command_line, since the order of parameters is different.
* It appends space at the end of command line, not as a separator.
* It also modifies boot_command_line in compressed kernel and it causes
   builtin command line to be appended twice.

First two problems would be fixed if compressed kernel used separate
buffer for modified cmdline like setup.c does. This also would simplify
the helper a bit and is required to fix the third problem.

The third problem was the reason I did not include the last strscpy() in
the helper. I still don't think it should be a part of the command line
preparation logic... If the code needs a copy for parse_early_param(),
it is related more to the parse_early_param() call, than to
cmdline_prepare().

Should I maybe make another iteration by removing lazy cmdline
initialization in compressed kernel and adding more comments?
I don't see though how the last strscpy() could cleanly fit into
cmdline_prepare().

Thanks,
Evgeniy Baskov

[PATCH v8 3/5] x86/setup: Use cmdline_prepare() in setup.c

[Evgeniy Baskov]

Use a common helper function for command line resolving in
arch/x86/kernel/setup.c for code unification.

[PATCH v8 4/5] x86/boot: Use cmdline_prapare() in compressed kernel

[Evgeniy Baskov]

CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL and CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE were ignored during
options lookup in compressed kernel, including earlyprintk option,
so it was impossible to get earlyprintk messages from that stage
of boot process via command line provided at compile time.
Being able to enable earlyprintk via compile-time option might
be desirable for booting on systems with broken UEFI command line
arguments via EFISTUB.

Use a common helper function to handle CONFIG_CMDLINE_* in compressed
kernel.

Place command_line_init explicitly in '.data' section since it is
used before '.bss' section is zeroed and it is expected to be equal
to zero.
