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"] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/160576522046.320071.8550680670010950634.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
