Provide support for additional kernel command line parameters to be concatenated onto the end of the command line provided by the bootloader. Additional parameters are specified in the CONFIG_CMDLINE option when CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND is selected, matching other architectures and leveraging existing support in the FDT and EFI stub code. Special care must be taken for the arch-specific nokaslr parsing. Search the bootargs FDT property and the CONFIG_CMDLINE when CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND is in use. There are a couple of known use cases for this feature: 1) Switching between stable and development kernel versions, where one of the versions benefits from additional command line parameters, such as debugging options. 2) Specifying additional command line parameters, for additional tuning or debugging, when the bootloader does not offer an interactive mode.

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.
