x86: Export x86 boot_params to sysfs
kexec-tools use boot_params for getting the 1st kernel hardware_subarch, the kexec kernel EFI runtime support also needs to read the old efi_info from boot_params. Currently it exists in debugfs which is not a good place for such infomation. Per HPA, we should avoid "sploit debugfs". In this patch /sys/kernel/boot_params are exported, also the setup_data is exported as a subdirectory. kexec-tools is using debugfs for hardware_subarch for a long time now so we're not removing it yet. Structure is like below: /sys/kernel/boot_params |__ data /* boot_params in binary*/ |__ setup_data | |__ 0 /* the first setup_data node */ | | |__ data /* setup_data node 0 in binary*/ | | |__ type /* setup_data type of setup_data node 0, hex string */ [snip] |__ version /* boot protocal version (in hex, "0x" prefixed)*/ Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Acked-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Tested-by: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
