[PATCH 2/2] x86/earlyprintk: setup earlyprintk as early as possible
From: Alexander Kuleshov
Date: Wed Apr 08 2015 - 05:32:14 EST
As setup_early_printk passed to the early_param, it will be usable only after
'parse_early_param' function will be called from the 'setup_arch'. So we have
earlyprintk during early boot and decompression. Next point after decompression
of the kernel where we can use early_printk is after call of the
'parse_early_param'.
This patch makes setup_early_printk visible for head{32,64}.c So 'early_printk'
function will be usabable after decompression of the kernel and before
parse_early_param will be called. It also must be safe if CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
and CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE are set, because setup_cmdline function will be
called before setup_early_printk.
Tested it with qemu, so early_printk() is usable and prints to serial console
right after setup_early_printk function called from arch/x86/kerne/head64.c
Changes v1->v2:
* Comment added before the setup_early_printk call;
* Added information about testing to the commit message.
Changes v2->v3:
* Call setup_cmdline before setup_early_printk;
* setup_early_printk call wrapped with the setup_early_serial_console which
checks that 'serial' given to the earlyprintk command line option. This
prevents call of the setup_early_printk with the given pciserial/dbgp/efi,
because they are using early_ioremap.
