Subject: [PATCH 08/10] boot: drop the dyn infix from the bootentries bootargs variable
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 11:54:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030-boot-globalvar-stack-v1-8-a03803e1100c@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030-boot-globalvar-stack-v1-0-a03803e1100c@pengutronix.de>
blspec and extlinux pass the options of a boot entry to the Kernel in
global.linux.bootargs.dyn.bootentries. The dyn infix used to be
necessary for boot_entry() to clear the variable again after a boot
entry returned. Now that boot_entry() reverts all changes to
global.linux.bootargs.* anyway, it no longer carries any meaning, so
name the variable global.linux.bootargs.bootentries.
As the variables are concatenated in lexicographical order, the boot
entry options may end up at a different position in the command line.
