tools/bootconfig: fix fd leak in load_xbc_file() on fstat failure

2026-04-18T08:31:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3b2c2ab4ceb82af484310c3087541eab00ea288b ] If fstat() fails after open() succeeds, the function returns without closing the file descriptor. Also preserve errno across close(), since close() may overwrite it before the error is returned.

tools/bootconfig: Fix error return code in apply_xbc()

2021-06-16T10:01:45+00:00

commit e8ba0b2b64126381643bb50df3556b139a60545a upstream. Fix to return a negative error code from the error handling case instead of 0, as done elsewhere in this function.

tools/bootconfig: Store size and checksum in footer as le32

2020-12-01T04:22:11+00:00

Store the size and the checksum fields in the footer as le32 instead of u32. This will allow us to apply bootconfig to the cross build initrd without caring the endianness.

tools/bootconfig: Align the bootconfig applied initrd image size to 4

2020-11-19T13:55:44+00:00

Align the bootconfig applied initrd image size to 4. To fill the gap, the bootconfig command uses null characters in between the bootconfig data and the footer. This will expands the footer size but don't change the checksum. Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows. [initrd][bootconfig][(pad)][size][csum]["#BOOTCONFIG\n"] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/160576522046.320071.8550680670010950634.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tools/bootconfig: Fix to check the write failure correctly

2020-11-19T13:55:44+00:00

Fix to check the write(2) failure including partial write correctly and try to rollback the partial write, because if there is no BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC string, we can not remove it.

tools/bootconfig: Fix errno reference after printf()

2020-11-19T13:55:44+00:00

Fix not to refer the errno variable as the result of previous libc functions after printf() because printf() can change the errno.

tools/bootconfig: Make all functions static

2020-09-19T02:17:13+00:00

Make all functions static except for main(). This is just a cleanup. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/159704850135.175360.12465608936326167517.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tools/bootconfig: Add list option

2020-09-19T02:17:13+00:00

Add list option (-l) to show the bootconfig in the list style. This is same output of /proc/bootconfig. So users can check how their bootconfig will be shown in procfs. This will help them to write a user-space script to parse the /proc/bootconfig.

tools/bootconfig: Show bootconfig compact tree from bootconfig file

2020-09-19T02:17:13+00:00

Show the bootconfig compact tree from the bootconfig file instead of an initrd if the given file has no magic number and is smaller than 32KB. User can use this for checking the syntax error or output checking before applying the bootconfig to initrd.
