Series bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig in kernel for non initrd boot | expand

Commit Message

Masami Hiramatsu (Google) March 31, 2022, 8:24 a.m. UTC 
This allows kernel developer to embed a default bootconfig file in
the kernel instead of embedding it in the initrd. This will be good
for who are using the kernel without initrd, or who needs a default
bootconfigs.
This needs to set two kconfigs: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set
the file path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE.

Note that you still need 'bootconfig' command line option to load the
embedded bootconfig. Also if you boot using an initrd with a different
bootconfig, the kernel will use the bootconfig in the initrd, instead
of the default bootconfig.

 Changes in v7:
  - Change kconfig option name to share the common prefix so that
    we can search it easier.
  - Make embedded_bootconfig_data readonly.
  - Select CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD only if CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=n
  - Remove redundant default settings for new Kconfig options.
 Changes in v6:
  - Split out the .incbin asm part as bootconfig-data.S according to
    Masahiro's comment.
 Changes in v5:
  - Fix .gitignore to be sorted alphabetically.
  - Make default.bconf is cleaned up correctly.
  - Allow user to specify relative path to CONFIG_EMBED_BOOT_CONFIG_FILE.
    (Thanks Masahiro!)
 Changes in v4:
  - Avoid updating the default.bconf if the file is not changed.

Hi Steve,

Have you already picked this series?

Actually, kernel test robot reported an issue in this patch today.
Here is the patch. Should I send v8 including this?

Thank you,
