2020-02-05tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodesMasami Hiramatsu1-1/+4
Show the number of bootconfig nodes when applying new bootconfig to initrd. Since there are limitations of bootconfig not only in its filesize, but also the number of nodes, the number should be shown when applying so that user can get the feeling of scale of current bootconfig.

2020-01-13bootconfig: Add Extra Boot Config supportMasami Hiramatsu1-0/+803
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.
