Paul Burton 951d223c6c MIPS: Fix CONFIG_CMDLINE handling Commit `8ce355cf2e` ("MIPS: Setup boot_command_line before plat_mem_setup") fixed a problem for systems which have CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y & use a DT with a chosen node that has either no bootargs property or an empty one. In this configuration early_init_dt_scan_chosen() copies CONFIG_CMDLINE into boot_command_line, but the MIPS code doesn't know this so it appends CONFIG_CMDLINE (via builtin_cmdline) to boot_command_line again. The result is that boot_command_line contains the arguments from CONFIG_CMDLINE twice. That commit took the approach of simply setting up boot_command_line from the MIPS code before early_init_dt_scan_chosen() runs, causing it not to copy CONFIG_CMDLINE to boot_command_line if a chosen node with no bootargs property is found. Unfortunately this is problematic for systems which do have a non-empty bootargs property & CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y. There early_init_dt_scan_chosen() will overwrite boot_command_line with the arguments from DT, which means we lose those from CONFIG_CMDLINE entirely. This breaks CONFIG_MIPS_CMDLINE_DTB_EXTEND. If we have CONFIG_MIPS_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER or CONFIG_MIPS_CMDLINE_BUILTIN_EXTEND selected and the DT has a bootargs property which we should ignore, it will instead be honoured breaking those configurations too. Fix this by reverting commit `8ce355cf2e` ("MIPS: Setup boot_command_line before plat_mem_setup") to restore the former behaviour, and fixing the CONFIG_CMDLINE duplication issue by initializing boot_command_line to a non-empty string that early_init_dt_scan_chosen() will not overwrite with CONFIG_CMDLINE. This is a little ugly, but cleanup in this area is on its way. In the meantime this is at least easy to backport & contains the ugliness within arch/mips/.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
