2021-09-09bootconfig: Rename xbc_node_find_child() to xbc_node_find_subkey()Masami Hiramatsu
Rename xbc_node_find_child() to xbc_node_find_subkey() for clarifying that function returns a key node (no value node). Since there are xbc_node_for_each_child() (loop on all child nodes) and xbc_node_for_each_subkey() (loop on only subkey nodes), this name distinction is necessary to avoid confusing users.

2021-06-10bootconfig: Support mixing a value and subkeys under a keyMasami Hiramatsu
Support mixing a value and subkeys under a key. Since kernel cmdline options will support "aaa.bbb=value1 aaa.bbb.ccc=value2", it is better that the bootconfig supports such configuration too. Note that this does not change syntax itself but just accepts mixed value and subkeys e.g. key = value1 key.subkey = value2 But this is not accepted; key { value1 subkey = value2 } That will make value1 as a subkey. Also, the order of the value node under a key is fixed. If there are a value and subkeys, the value is always the first child node of the key. Thus if user specifies subkeys first, e.g. key.subkey = value1 key = value2 In the program (and /proc/bootconfig), it will be shown as below key = value2 key.subkey = value1 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/162262194685.264090.7738574774030567419.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2021-06-10bootconfig: Change array value to use child nodeMasami Hiramatsu
It is not possible to put an array value with subkeys under a key node, because both of subkeys and the array elements are using "next" field of the xbc_node. Thus this changes the array values to use "child" field in the array case. The reason why split this change is to test it easily.

2020-11-19tools/bootconfig: Align the bootconfig applied initrd image size to 4Masami Hiramatsu
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>
2020-03-03tools/bootconfig: Show line and column in parse errorMasami Hiramatsu
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>
2020-02-20bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitlyMasami Hiramatsu
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.

2020-01-13bootconfig: Add Extra Boot Config supportMasami Hiramatsu
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.
