Subject: [PATCH v4] hw/ppc: Implement -dtb support for PowerNV
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2024 16:00:03 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240820103003.550735-1-adityag@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Currently any device tree passed with -dtb option in QEMU, was ignored
by the PowerNV code.

Read and pass the passed -dtb to the kernel, thus enabling easier
debugging with custom DTBs.

The existing behaviour when -dtb is 'not' passed, is preserved as-is.

But when a '-dtb' is passed, it completely overrides any dtb nodes or
changes QEMU might have done, such as '-append' arguments to the kernel
(which are mentioned in /chosen/bootargs in the dtb), hence add warning
when -dtb is being used

Signed-off-by: Aditya Gupta <adityag@linux.ibm.com>

Changelog
===========
v4:
 + use 'MachineState::fdt' instead of 'PnvMachineState::fdt'
 + added an 'if' check at end of pnv_reset, so we don't free the fdt we
   are using
v3:
 + use 'load_device_tree' to read the device tree, instead of g_file_get_contents
 + tested that passed dtb does NOT get ignored on system_reset

v2:
 + move reading dtb and warning to pnv_init

v1:
 + use 'g_file_get_contents' and add check for -append & -dtb as suggested by Daniel
