Re: [PATCH v2 1/7] CMDLINE: add generic builtin command line

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

 





Le 09/03/2021 à 01:02, Daniel Walker a écrit :
This code allows architectures to use a generic builtin command line.
The state of the builtin command line options across architecture is
diverse. On x86 and mips they have pretty much the same code and the
code prepends the builtin command line onto the boot loader provided
one. On powerpc there is only a builtin override and nothing else.

Same comment as in v1: The above is not correct for powerpc.


The code in this commit unifies the code into a generic
header file under the CONFIG_GENERIC_CMDLINE option. When this
option is enabled the architecture can call the cmdline_add_builtin()
to add the builtin command line.

This test can probably be avoided. if CONFIG_CMDLINE_APPEND is empty, it will add a space at the end of dest, that's harmless.

Same. Keep it simple. Provide tmp all the time, have only one logic.

No need to micro-optimise this, you can provide cmdline_tmp_space all the time and only keep on leg of the if/elseif

Argh ! So the same function as different semantics whether CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE and/or CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is selected ? It means the architecture will have to know it as well in order to call it right ? That looks like micro-optimisation, I think it is not worth it.

I think it would be better to have CMDLINE_APPEND and CMDLINE_PREPENT defined at all time, and not leak CMDLINE_BOOL into code. It should just be used here to unable user customisation of CMDLINE_APPEND, as follows:

config CMDLINE_APPEND
	string "Built-in kernel command string append" if CMDLINE_BOOL
	default ""


+	default ""

+	  However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to

+
+	  In most cases, the command line (whether built-in or provided

+	  file system.
+

Same comment as for CMDLINE_APPEND

+	default ""
+	help
+	  Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel
+	  image and used at boot time.  If the boot loader provides a

+
+	  This is used to work around broken boot loaders.  This should

In powerpc, by default, when a CMDLINE is provided, it is used only if the bootloader doesn't provide a command line. I can't see how I can do that here.
