[PATCH kvmtool] arm: Allow command line for firmware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When loading a firmware instead of a kernel, we can still pass on any
*user-provided* command line, as /chosen/bootargs is a generic device tree
feature. We just need to make sure to not pass our mangled-for-Linux
version.

This allows to run "firmware" images which make use of a command line,
still are not Linux kernels, like kvm-unit-tests.

Hi Will,

this goes on top of Julien's firmware series (which did not yet appear
on kernel.org?)
This fixes an issue with some kvm-unit-tests support. [1]

Cheers,
Andre.
