I get garbage output of /proc/cmdline and in dmesg in new
kernel context when I use kexec to load new kernel bzImage
without append command line like below:
kexec -l bzImage --initrd=/boot/initramfs
kexec -e
The reason is kernel copy the command line
from the bootloader like below which copy/paste
from linux/arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:
movl pa(boot_params) + NEW_CL_POINTER,%esi
andl %esi,%esi
jz 1f # No command line
movl $pa(boot_command_line),%edi
movl $(COMMAND_LINE_SIZE/4),%ecx
This patch fix it.
[
although another patch
"kexec:i386/kexec-[bzImage|elf-x86]:x86_64/kexec-bzImage64: Use "\0" as command line instead of empty command line"
has resolved the garbage output by put a '\0' at the start, but I thinks this patch has sense too, it stop
kernel copy not command line data into the command line buffer in kernel
