bootconfig: Add append value operator support

2020-02-21T14:59:39Z

Add append value operator "+=" support to bootconfig syntax. With this operator, user can add new value to the key as an entry of array instead of overwriting. For example, foo = bar ... foo += baz Then the key "foo" has "bar" and "baz" values as an array.

bootconfig: Prohibit re-defining value on same key

2020-02-21T14:59:19Z

Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite the original value in the same config file. This rejects the following value re-definition. key = value1 ... key = value2 You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

bootconfig: Reject subkey and value on same parent key

2020-02-20T22:54:09Z

Reject if a value node is mixed with subkey node on same parent key node. A value node can not co-exist with subkey node under some key node, e.g. key = value key.subkey = another-value This is not be allowed because bootconfig API is not designed to handle such case.

tools/bootconfig: Remove unneeded error message silencer

2020-02-20T22:53:41Z

Remove error message silent knob, we don't need it anymore because we can check if there is a bootconfig by checking the magic word. If there is a magic word, but failed to load a bootconfig from initrd, there is a real problem.

bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitly

2020-02-20T22:52:34Z

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there. Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic word, there must be a bootconfig. The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word. Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows. [Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158220112263.26565.3944814205960612841.stgit@devnote2 Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tools/bootconfig: Suppress non-error messages

2020-02-10T22:22:56Z

Suppress non-error messages when applying new bootconfig to initrd image. To enable it, replace printf for error message with pr_err() macro. This also adds a testcase for this fix.

bootconfig: Allocate xbc_nodes array dynamically

2020-02-10T22:19:39Z

To reduce the large static array from kernel data, allocate xbc_nodes array dynamically only if the kernel loads a bootconfig. Note that this also add dummy memblock.h for user-spacae bootconfig tool.

tools/bootconfig: Fix wrong __VA_ARGS__ usage

2020-02-10T17:06:43Z

Since printk() wrapper macro uses __VA_ARGS__ without "##" prefix, it causes a build error if there is no variable arguments (e.g. only fmt is specified.) To fix this error, use ##__VA_ARGS__ instead of __VAR_ARGS__.

tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes

2020-02-05T22:17:05Z

Show the number of bootconfig nodes when applying new bootconfig to initrd. Since there are limitations of bootconfig not only in its filesize, but also the number of nodes, the number should be shown when applying so that user can get the feeling of scale of current bootconfig.
