2023-03-11bootconfig: Increase max nodes of bootconfig from 1024 to 8192 for DCC supportSouradeep Chowdhury1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit 6c40624930c58529185a257380442547580ed837 ] The Data Capture and Compare(DCC) is a debugging tool that uses the bootconfig for configuring the register values during boot-time. Increase the max nodes supported by bootconfig to cater to the requirements of the Data Capture and Compare Driver.

2020-11-19tools/bootconfig: Align the bootconfig applied initrd image size to 4Masami Hiramatsu1-0/+3
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 <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2020-03-04tools/bootconfig: Show line and column in parse errorMasami Hiramatsu1-1/+2
Show line and column when we got a parse error in bootconfig tool. Current lib/bootconfig shows the parse error with byte offset, but that is not human readable. This makes xbc_init() not showing error message itself but able to pass the error message and position to caller, so that the caller can decode it and show the error message with line number and columns. With this patch, bootconfig tool shows an error with line:column as below. $ cat samples/bad-dotword.bconf # do not start keyword with . key { .word = 1 } $ ./bootconfig -a samples/bad-dotword.bconf initrd Parse Error: Invalid keyword at 3:3 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158323469002.10560.4023923847704522760.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2020-02-21bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitlyMasami Hiramatsu1-0/+3
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 <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2020-01-13bootconfig: Add Extra Boot Config supportMasami Hiramatsu1-0/+224
Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends the kernel command line in an efficient way. Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g. key.word = value1 another.key.word = value2 It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array data. For example, key { word1 { setting1 = data setting2 } word2.array = "val1", "val2" } User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via SKC APIs.
