From d0f34a11ddab9b456e4caf9fc48d8d7e832e0e50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Genoud Richard Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:37:59 +0100 Subject: ARM: 7437/1: zImage: Allow DTB command line concatenation with ATAG_CMDLINE This patch allows the ATAG_CMDLINE provided by the bootloader to be concatenated to the bootargs property of the device tree. This is useful to merge static values defined in the device tree with the boot loader's (possibly) more dynamic values, such as startup reasons and more. The bootloader should use the device tree to pass those values to the kernel, but that's not always simple (old bootloader or very small one). The behaviour is the same as the one introduced by Victor Boivie in 4394c1244249198c6b85093d46935b761b36ae05 by extending the CONFIG_CMDLINE.

We use the fls macro from ARMv5 onwards, where we have a clz instruction available which saves us a mov instruction when targetting Thumb-2. For older CPUs, we use the magic 0x0ff0001 constant. Big-endian configurations make use of the implementation from asm-generic. With this implemented, we can replace our byte-at-a-time strnlen_user and strncpy_from_user functions with the optimised generic versions.
