2020-08-03lib/bootconfig: Add override operator supportMasami Hiramatsu
Add the value override operator (":=") support to the bootconfig. This value override operator will be useful for the bootloaders which will only update the existing bootconfig according to the bootloader boot options. Without this override operator, the bootloader needs to parse the existing bootconfig and update it. However, with this assignment, it can just append the updated (partial) bootconfig text at the tail of existing one without parsing it. (Of course, it must update the size, checksum and magic, but that will be done easily) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/159482882954.126704.16209517125614438640.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>
2020-02-21bootconfig: Add append value operator supportMasami Hiramatsu
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.

2020-02-21bootconfig: Prohibit re-defining value on same keyMasami Hiramatsu
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.

2020-02-20bootconfig: Reject subkey and value on same parent keyMasami Hiramatsu
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.

2020-02-10bootconfig: Allocate xbc_nodes array dynamicallyMasami Hiramatsu
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.

2020-02-05tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodesMasami Hiramatsu
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.

2020-02-05bootconfig: Add more parse error messagesMasami Hiramatsu
Add more error messages for following cases. - Exceeding max number of nodes - Config tree data is empty (e.g. comment only) - Config data is empty or exceeding max size - bootconfig is already initialized Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158091060401.27924.9024818742827122764.stgit@devnote2 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 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.
