[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [PATCH] arm/efi: Handle Xen bootargs from both xen.cfg and DT
Currently the Xen UEFI stub can accept Xen boot arguments from
the Xen configuration file using the "options=" keyword, but also
directly from the device tree specifying xen,xen-bootargs
property.
When the configuration file is used, device tree boot arguments
are ignored and overwritten even if the keyword "options=" is
not used.
This patch handle this case, if xen,xen-bootargs is found in the
device tree, it is used for xen boot arguments regardless they
are specified in the Xen configuration file or not.

When adding DomU modules to device tree, also add the property
xen,uefi-cfg-load under chosen for Xen to load the Xen config file.
Otherwise, Xen will skip the config file and rely on device tree alone.
+When using the Xen configuration file in conjunction with the device tree, you

"options="
