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 provides initialization of earlyprintk serial console as early as possible in the arch/x86/kerne/head{32,64}.c Alexander Kuleshov (2): x86/setup: update boot_command_line with builtin_cmdline in separate function x86/earlyprintk: setup earlyprintk as early as possible arch/x86/kernel/early_printk.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/head.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ arch/x86/kernel/head32.c | 3 +++ arch/x86/kernel/head64.c | 8 +++++++- arch/x86/kernel/setup.c | 31 ++++++++++++++++++------------- include/linux/init.h | 6 +++++- include/linux/printk.h | 4 ++++ kernel/printk/printk.c | 11 +++++++---- 8 files changed, 59 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) -- 2.3.3.611.g09038fc.dirty -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
