Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/4] add generic builtin command line
Hi Daniel
We have a usecase which requires this patch necessarily. For android
usecases, we have two different build variants
differentiated by defconfigs - production and debug. However, we only
have a single dts for both these variants.
We want to enable certain features like page owner and slub debug which
require cmdline params in addition to
their respective configs to be enabled. Enabling page_owner and
slub_debug options in dts file enables it for both
production and debug variants. These features have significant memory
overhead which are undesirable for
our production environment. However, these are necessary for debug
environment to enable internal testing and debug.
Currently, android uses out-of-tree configs like CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND
to do so in gki_defconfig [1].
One option is to use CMDLINE_FORCE option which would enable these
cmdline params but this disables the bootloader to add
any additional cmdline params which may be necessary.
For such a usecase, the CONFIG_CMDLINE_PREPEND seems to be quite useful
as it would help to stitch bootloader
and the desired build variant's configs together. Can you please help to
merge this patch?
