x86/boot: Pull up cmdline preparation and early param parsing
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. Fixes: 8aa83e6 ("x86/setup: Call early_reserve_memory() earlier") Reported-by: Dan Williams <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Dan Williams <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Tested-by: Anjaneya Chagam <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
