We pass 'earlyprintk' through the kernel command line. So, it means that earlyprintk will be usable only after the 'parse_early_param' will be executed. We have usable earlyprintk only during early boot, kernel decompression and after call of the 'parse_early_param'. This patchset makes serial earlyprintk usable before the call of the 'parse_early_param'. These patchset provides following changes: 1. Move handling of the builtin command line to the separate function from the setup_arch. Now we can call it from the arch/x86/kernel/head{32,64}.c, and find 'earlyprintk' kernel command line paramter there. 2. Provide setup_serial_console function to setup serial earlyprintk in the arch/x86/kernel/head{32,64}.c v7: * Move setup_early_serial_console to the the arch/x86/include/setup.h * Add ifdefs to prevent setup_serial_console if CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK is not set. v6: * Style fixes. * Call of the suetp_builtin_cmdline moved to the separate patch. v5: * Call setup_builtin_cmdline instead of setup_cmdline v4: * Move setup_early_serial_console from the include/linux/printk.h to the arch/x86/include/asm/serial.h, because this function is only for x86 now. v3: * Call setup_cmdline before setup_early_printk; * setup_early_printk call wrapped with the setup_early_serial_console which checks that 'serial' given to the earlyprintk command line option. This prevents call of the setup_early_printk with the given pciserial/dbgp/efi, because they are using early_ioremap. v2: * Comment added before the setup_early_printk call; * Added information about testing to the commit message.
