[PATCH 5/8] drivers: firmware: efi: libstub: enable generic commandline

From: Daniel Walker
Date: Thu Nov 09 2023 - 20:39:40 EST


This adds code to handle the generic command line changes.
The efi code appears that it doesn't benefit as much from this design
as it could.

For example, if you had a prepend command line with "nokaslr" then
you might be helpful to re-enable it in the boot loader or dts,
but there appears to be no way to re-enable kaslr or some of the
other options.

The efi command line handling is incorrect. x86 and arm have an append
system however the efi code prepends the command line.

For example, you could have a non-upgradable bios which sends

efi=disable_early_pci_dma

This hypothetically could have been set because early pci dma caused
issues on early versions of the product.

Then later the early pci dma was made to work and the company desired
to start using it. To override the bios you could set the CONFIG_CMDLINE
to,

efi=no_disable_early_pci_dma

then parsing would normally start with the bios command line, then move
to the CONFIG_CMDLINE and you would end up with early pci dma turned on.

however, current efi code keeps early pci dma off because the bios
arguments always override the built in.

Per my reading this is different from the main body of x86, arm, and
arm64.

The generic command line provides both append and prepend, so it
alleviates this issue if it's used. However not all architectures use
it.

It would be desirable to allow the efi stub to have it's builtin command
line to be modified after compile, but I don't see a feasible way to do
that currently.
