threeeye bc1d038eac REVVL 6 Pro kernel bring-up: full working tree snapshot (2026-09-12)
Squashed backup commit (no shallow-clone history issues) of
xiaomi-mt6833-dev/kernel_xiaomi_mt6833 (lineage-23.2 branch, upstream
commit 9eece662e) plus all fixes applied to get everpal_defconfig building
clean against a modern (GCC 15.2.0) toolchain -- see the previous commit
message on the lineage-23.2 branch (also in this repo history is not
available here since this is a squashed snapshot; full incremental history
lives in the local DL380 checkout and the upstream GitHub remote).

What: /sys/kernel/boot_params
Date: December 2013
Contact: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
Description: The /sys/kernel/boot_params directory contains two
files: "data" and "version" and one subdirectory "setup_data".
It is used to export the kernel boot parameters of an x86
platform to userspace for kexec and debugging purpose.
If there's no setup_data in boot_params the subdirectory will
not be created.
"data" file is the binary representation of struct boot_params.
"version" file is the string representation of boot
protocol version.
"setup_data" subdirectory contains the setup_data data
structure in boot_params. setup_data is maintained in kernel
as a link list. In "setup_data" subdirectory there's one
subdirectory for each link list node named with the number
of the list nodes. The list node subdirectory contains two
files "type" and "data". "type" file is the string
representation of setup_data type. "data" file is the binary
representation of setup_data payload.
The whole boot_params directory structure is like below:
/sys/kernel/boot_params
|__ data
|__ setup_data
| |__ 0
| | |__ data
| | |__ type
| |__ 1
| |__ data
| |__ type
|__ version
