Masami Hiramatsu e1cef2d4c3 tools/bootconfig: Align the bootconfig applied initrd image size to 4
Align the bootconfig applied initrd image size to 4. To fill the gap,
the bootconfig command uses null characters in between the bootconfig
data and the footer. This will expands the footer size but don't change
the checksum.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is as follows.

[initrd][bootconfig][(pad)][size][csum]["#BOOTCONFIG\n"]

Masami Hiramatsu 89b74cac78 tools/bootconfig: Show line and column in parse error
Show line and column when we got a parse error in bootconfig tool.
Current lib/bootconfig shows the parse error with byte offset, but
that is not human readable.
This makes xbc_init() not showing error message itself but able to
pass the error message and position to caller, so that the caller
can decode it and show the error message with line number and columns.

With this patch, bootconfig tool shows an error with line:column as
below.

  $ cat samples/bad-dotword.bconf
  # do not start keyword with .
  key {
    .word = 1
  }
  $ ./bootconfig -a samples/bad-dotword.bconf initrd
  Parse Error: Invalid keyword at 3:3

Masami Hiramatsu 85c46b78da bootconfig: Add bootconfig magic word for indicating bootconfig explicitly
Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd
image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there.
Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or
parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic
word, there must be a bootconfig.

The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is
as follows.

[Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n]

Masami Hiramatsu 76db5a27a8 bootconfig: Add Extra Boot Config support
Extra Boot Config (XBC) allows admin to pass a tree-structured
boot configuration file when boot up the kernel. This extends
the kernel command line in an efficient way.

Boot config will contain some key-value commands, e.g.

key.word = value1
another.key.word = value2

It can fold same keys with braces, also you can write array
data. For example,

key {
   word1 {
      setting1 = data
      setting2
   }
   word2.array = "val1", "val2"
}

User can access these key-value pair and tree structure via
SKC APIs.
