Steven Rostedt (VMware) 39d9c1c103 bootconfig: Initialize ret in xbc_parse_tree()
The do while loop continues while ret is zero, but ret is never
initialized. The check for ret in the loop at the while should always be
initialized, but if an empty string were to be passed in, q would be NULL
and p would be '\0', and it would break out of the loop without ever
setting ret.

Set ret to zero, and then xbc_verify_tree() would be called and catch that
it is an empty tree and report the proper error.

Linus Torvalds 77e02cf57b memblock: introduce saner 'memblock_free_ptr()' interface
The boot-time allocation interface for memblock is a mess, with
'memblock_alloc()' returning a virtual pointer, but then you are
supposed to free it with 'memblock_free()' that takes a _physical_
address.

Not only is that all kinds of strange and illogical, but it actually
causes bugs, when people then use it like a normal allocation function,
and it fails spectacularly on a NULL pointer:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210912140820.GD25450@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/

or just random memory corruption if the debug checks don't catch it:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/61ab2d0c-3313-aaab-514c-e15b7aa054a0@suse.cz/

I really don't want to apply patches that treat the symptoms, when the
fundamental cause is this horribly confusing interface.

I started out looking at just automating a sane replacement sequence,
but because of this mix or virtual and physical addresses, and because
people have used the "__pa()" macro that can take either a regular
kernel pointer, or just the raw "unsigned long" address, it's all quite
messy.

So this just introduces a new saner interface for freeing a virtual
address that was allocated using 'memblock_alloc()', and that was kept
as a regular kernel pointer.  And then it converts a couple of users
that are obvious and easy to test, including the 'xbc_nodes' case in
lib/bootconfig.c that caused problems.

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.

Masami Hiramatsu e5efaeb8a8 bootconfig: Support mixing a value and subkeys under a key
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

It is not possible to put an array value with subkeys under

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.

Masami Hiramatsu c7af4ecdff lib/bootconfig: Fix to remove tailing spaces after value
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.

Masami Hiramatsu ead1e19ad9 lib/bootconfig: Fix a bug of breaking existing tree nodes
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.

(Of course, it must update the size, checksum and magic,
 but that will be done easily)

Masami Hiramatsu 0f0d0a77cc tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes
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.

Masami Hiramatsu 76db5a27a8 bootconfig: Add Extra Boot Config support
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.
