Looking in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/main.c?h=v6.5-rc5 there’s a function setup_command_line that seems to set up the built-in command line which is called after setup_boot_config
ok idk what that all was. Here’s something more interesting:
In arch/x86/kernel/setup.c
it says /* append boot loader cmdline to builtin */
. I think that suggests that the builtin comes first. And I assume that the code that queries the command line scans left to
right and selects the first instance of an option because there doesn’t seem to be anywhere that “loads” args into some kind of structure.
#ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
#ifdef CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE
strscpy(boot_command_line, builtin_cmdline, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
#else
if (builtin_cmdline[0]) {
/* append boot loader cmdline to builtin */
strlcat(builtin_cmdline, " ", COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
strlcat(builtin_cmdline, boot_command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
strscpy(boot_command_line, builtin_cmdline, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE);
}
#endif
#endif
I guess the best thing to do would be to run linux in QEMU with the EFI system that’s provided by a third party thing and test it out.
does emacs have an integrated terminal view inside it? Seems like maybe it’s just creating a shell for you to use inside the editor or something? Either way, “bash --login” is just a login shell which I think basically just acts like if you had just logged in instead of inheriting most stuff from whatever process launched it. It in’t “logging in” like some user account or something. Unlikely that it’s something nefarious. At worst, it’s just usual buggy linux software interacting in weird ways.
