x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 8d48bf8 upstream.

Dan reports that Anjaneya Chagam can no longer use the efi=nosoftreserve
kernel command line parameter to suppress "soft reservation" behavior.

This is due to the fact that the following call-chain happens at boot:

early_reserve_memory
|-> efi_memblock_x86_reserve_range
    |-> efi_fake_memmap_early

which does

        if (!efi_soft_reserve_enabled())
                return;

and that would have set EFI_MEM_NO_SOFT_RESERVE after having parsed
"nosoftreserve".

However, parse_early_param() gets called *after* it, leading to the boot
cmdline not being taken into account.

Therefore, carve out the command line preparation into a separate
function which does the early param parsing too. So that it all goes
together.

And then call that function before early_reserve_memory() so that the
params would have been parsed by then.
