[PATCH 0/3] bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig in kernel for non initrd boot

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

 



Hi,

Here are the patchset to enable kernel embedded bootconfig for non-initrd
kernel boot environment. You can embed a bootconfig file into the kernel
as a default bootconfig, which will be used if there is no initrd or no
bootconfig is attached to initrd.

This needs 2 options: CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG=y and set the file
path to CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG_FILE. Even if you embed the bootconfig file
to the kernel, it will not be enabled unless you pass "bootconfig" kernel
command line option at boot. Moreover, since this is just a "default"
bootconfig, you can override it with a new bootconfig if you attach another
bootconfig to the initrd (if possible).

This is requested by Padmanabha at the below thread;

Thank you,
