Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 09/25] xen/arm: introduce bootcmdlines



Hi Stefano,

On 01/08/18 00:27, Stefano Stabellini wrote:
Introduce a new array to store the cmdline of each boot module. It is
separate from struct bootmodules. Remove the cmdline field from struct
boot_module. This way, kernels and initrds with the same address in
memory can share struct bootmodule (important because we want them to be
free'd only once), but they can still have their separate bootcmdline
entries.

Add a dt_name field to struct bootcmdline to make it easier to find the
correct entry. Store the name of the "xen,domain" compatible node (for
example "Dom1"). This is a better choice compared to the name of the
"multiboot,kernel" compatible node, because their names are not unique.
For instance there can be more than one "module@0x4c000000" in the
system, but there can only be one "/chosen/Dom1".

As I mentioned in the previous version, the code is currently looking for multiboot,module everywhere in the DT rather than only in /chosen. So your name could not be uniq.

However, this is not compliant with the protocol. Therefore you need to fix the code first to ensure the name will be uniq.


Add a pointer to struct kernel_info to point to the cmdline for a given
kernel.

Changes in v3:
- introduce bootcmdlines
- do not modify boot_fdt_cmdline
- add comments

I see no comments in the code. Did I miss anything?


Changes in v2:
- new patch

I am not entirely sure to understand why this code has been moved. With your new code, if you have a module without commandline then you will still add a cmdline with nothing. This looks quite pointless.

Instead, you could keep this code here and only call add_bootcmdline when it is not NULL (or ignore it directly in the function).

With that change the command line is not printed anymore and also not associated to a module. This was quite useful for debugging bootloader issue.
