Subject[PATCH v8 0/4] bootconfig: Support embedding a bootconfig in kernel for non initrd boot
Date
Hi,

Here are the 8th version of the patchset to enable kernel embedded bootconfig
for non-initrd kernel boot environment. This version fixes a build error when
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=n. Previous version is here [1];

You can embed a bootconfig file into the kernel as a default bootconfig,
which will be used if there is no initrd or no bootconfig is attached to initrd.

This needs 2 options: CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED=y and set the file
path to CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE. Even if you embed the bootconfig file
to the kernel, it will not be enabled unless you pass "bootconfig" kernel
command line option at boot. Moreover, since this is just a "default"
bootconfig, you can override it with a new bootconfig if you attach another
bootconfig to the initrd (if possible).
The CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_EMBED_FILE can take both absolute and relative path.

This is requested by Padmanabha at the below thread[2];

Thank you,
