Currently 'kexec --help' on powerpc64 prints the generic help/usage to stdout, and the powerpc64 specific options to stderr That is, if the stdout of 'kexec --help' is redirected to some file, some of the help options will not be redirected, and instead printed on the terminal/stderr: [root@machine kexec-tools]# kexec --help > /tmp/out --command-line=<Command line> command line to append. --append=<Command line> same as --command-line. --ramdisk=<filename> Initial RAM disk. --initrd=<filename> same as --ramdisk. --devicetreeblob=<filename> Specify device tree blob file. Not applicable while using --kexec-file-syscall. --dtb=<filename> same as --devicetreeblob. elf support is still broken --elf64-core-headers Prepare core headers in ELF64 format --dt-no-old-root Do not reuse old kernel root= param. while creating flatten device tree. Fix this inconsistency by writing powerpc64 specific options to stdout, similar to the generic 'kexec --help' With the proposed changes, it is like this (nothing printed to stderr): [root@machine kexec-tools]# ./build/sbin/kexec --help > /tmp/out Reported-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Aditya Gupta <adityag@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-elf-ppc64.c | 22 +++++++++++----------- kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-ppc64.c | 6 +++--- kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-zImage-ppc64.c | 2 +- 3 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-elf-ppc64.c b/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-elf-ppc64.c index 01d045f..bdcfd20 100644 --- a/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-elf-ppc64.c +++ b/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-elf-ppc64.c @@ -482,15 +482,15 @@ int elf_ppc64_load(int argc, char **argv, const char *buf, off_t len, void elf_ppc64_usage(void) { - fprintf(stderr, " --command-line=<Command line> command line to append.\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " --append=<Command line> same as --command-line.\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " --ramdisk=<filename> Initial RAM disk.\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " --initrd=<filename> same as --ramdisk.\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " --devicetreeblob=<filename> Specify device tree blob file.\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " "); - fprintf(stderr, "Not applicable while using --kexec-file-syscall.\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " --reuse-cmdline Use kernel command line from running system.\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " --dtb=<filename> same as --devicetreeblob.\n"); - - fprintf(stderr, "elf support is still broken\n"); + printf(" --command-line=<Command line> command line to append.\n"); + printf(" --append=<Command line> same as --command-line.\n"); + printf(" --ramdisk=<filename> Initial RAM disk.\n"); + printf(" --initrd=<filename> same as --ramdisk.\n"); + printf(" --devicetreeblob=<filename> Specify device tree blob file.\n"); + printf(" "); + printf("Not applicable while using --kexec-file-syscall.\n"); + printf(" --reuse-cmdline Use kernel command line from running system.\n"); + printf(" --dtb=<filename> same as --devicetreeblob.\n"); + + printf("elf support is still broken\n"); } diff --git a/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-ppc64.c b/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-ppc64.c index 611809f..19f17cb 100644 --- a/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-ppc64.c +++ b/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-ppc64.c @@ -910,9 +910,9 @@ int file_types = sizeof(file_type) / sizeof(file_type[0]); void arch_usage(void) { - fprintf(stderr, " --elf64-core-headers Prepare core headers in ELF64 format\n"); - fprintf(stderr, " --dt-no-old-root Do not reuse old kernel root= param.\n" \ - " while creating flatten device tree.\n"); + printf(" --elf64-core-headers Prepare core headers in ELF64 format\n"); + printf(" --dt-no-old-root Do not reuse old kernel root= param.\n" + " while creating flatten device tree.\n"); } struct arch_options_t arch_options = { diff --git a/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-zImage-ppc64.c b/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-zImage-ppc64.c index e946205..7f45751 100644 --- a/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-zImage-ppc64.c +++ b/kexec/arch/ppc64/kexec-zImage-ppc64.c @@ -180,5 +180,5 @@ int zImage_ppc64_load(FILE *file, int UNUSED(argc), char **UNUSED(argv), void zImage_ppc64_usage(void) { - fprintf(stderr, "zImage support is still broken\n"); + printf("zImage support is still broken\n"); } -- 2.39.1 _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
