mn10300: Use early_param() to parse "mem=" parameter
This fixes the problem that "init=" options may not be passed to kernel
correctly.
parse_mem_cmdline() of mn10300 arch gets rid of "mem=" string from
redboot_command_line. Then init_setup() parses the "init=" options from
static_command_line, which is a copy of redboot_command_line, and keeps
the pointer to the init options in execute_command variable.
Since the commit 026cee0 upstream (params: <level>_initcall-like kernel
parameters), static_command_line becomes overwritten by saved_command_line at
do_initcall_level(). Notice that saved_command_line is a command line
which includes "mem=" string.
As a result, execute_command may point to weird string by the length of
"mem=" parameter.
I noticed this problem when using the command line like this:
mem=128M console=ttyS0,115200 init=/bin/sh
Here is the processing flow of command line parameters.
start_kernel()
setup_arch(&command_line)
parse_mem_cmdline(cmdline_p)
* strcpy(boot_command_line, redboot_command_line);
* Remove "mem=xxx" from redboot_command_line.
* *cmdline_p = redboot_command_line;
setup_command_line(command_line) <-- command_line is redboot_command_line
* strcpy(saved_command_line, boot_command_line)
* strcpy(static_command_line, command_line)
parse_early_param()
strlcpy(tmp_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
parse_early_options(tmp_cmdline);
parse_args("early options", cmdline, NULL, 0, 0, 0, do_early_param);
parse_args("Booting ..", static_command_line, ...);
init_setup() <-- save the pointer in execute_command
rest_init()
kernel_thread(kernel_init, NULL, CLONE_FS | CLONE_SIGHAND);
At this point, execute_command points to "/bin/sh" string.
kernel_init()
kernel_init_freeable()
do_basic_setup()
do_initcalls()
do_initcall_level()
(*) strcpy(static_command_line, saved_command_line);
Here, execute_command gets to point to "200" string !!
