Fix to remove tailing spaces after value. If there is a space after value, the bootconfig failed to remove it because it applies strim() before replacing the delimiter with null. For example, foo = var # comment was parsed as below. foo="var " but user will expect foo="var" This fixes it by applying strim() after removing the delimiter.

Fix a bug of breaking existing tree nodes by parsing the second and subsequent braces. Since the bootconfig parser uses the node.next field as a flag of current parent node, but this will break the existing tree if the same key node is specified again in the bootconfig. For example, the following bootconfig should be foo.buz and bar. foo bar foo { buz } However, when parsing the brace "{", it breaks foo->bar link by marking open-brace node. So the bootconfig unlinks bar from the bootconfig internal tree. This introduces a stack outside of the tree and record the last open-brace on the stack instead of using node.next field.

The following build error for powerpc64 was reported by Nathan Chancellor: "$ scripts/config --file arch/powerpc/configs/powernv_defconfig -e KERNEL_XZ $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux- distclean powernv_defconfig zImage ...

I am not sure what the solution is, the PowerPC wrapper does not set -D__KERNEL__ so I am not sure that compiler_attributes.h can be safely included." In order to avoid these sort of problems, it seems that the best solution is to use /* fall through */ comments instead of the fallthrough pseudo-keyword macro in lib/, for now.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary fall-through markings when it is the case.

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:

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:

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. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158227283195.12842.8310503105963275584.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by:

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.

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.

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.

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.
