Given a wrong root device, current log may not give the pretty name
which is useful to locate root cause.
For example, there are 2 blk devs in a VM, /dev/vda which has 2 partitials
/dev/vda1 and /dev/vda2 and /dev/vdb which is blank. /dev/vda2 is the
right root dev. When set "root=/dev/vdb", we get error log:
[ 0.635575] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(254,16)
It's not straightforward to find out the root cause as there is lack of
the root devive name therefore hard for people to get those info from the
device number, in the example, (254,16).
It is more comprehensive way to hint the root cause if pretty name is
given here, like:
[ 0.559887] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/vdb" or unknown-block(254,16)

Add an optional timeout arg to 'rootwait' as the maximum time in
seconds to wait for the root device to show up before attempting
forced mount of the root filesystem.
Use case:
In case of device mapper usage for the rootfs (e.g. root=/dev/dm-0),
if the mapper is not able to create the virtual block for any reason
(wrong arguments, bad dm-verity signature, etc), the `rootwait` param
causes the kernel to wait forever. It may however be desirable to only
wait for a given time and then panic (force mount) to cause device reset.
This gives the bootloader a chance to detect the problem and to take some
measures, such as marking the booted partition as bad (for A/B case) or
entering a recovery mode.
In success case, mounting happens as soon as the root device is ready,
unlike the existing 'rootdelay' parameter which performs an unconditional
pause.

split_fs_names() currently takes comma separate list of filesystems
and converts it into individual filesystem strings. Pleaces these
strings in the input buffer passed by caller and returns number of
strings.
If caller manages to pass input string bigger than buffer, then we
can write beyond the buffer. Or if string just fits buffer, we will
still write beyond the buffer as we append a '\0' byte at the end.
Pass size of input buffer to split_fs_names() and put enough checks
in place so such buffer overrun possibilities do not occur.
This patch does few things.
- Add a parameter "size" to split_fs_names(). This specifies size
of input buffer.
- Use strlcpy() (instead of strcpy()) so that we can't go beyond
buffer size. If input string "names" is larger than passed in
buffer, input string will be truncated to fit in buffer.
- Stop appending extra '\0' character at the end and avoid one
possibility of going beyond the input buffer size.
- Do not use extra loop to count number of strings.
- Previously if one passed "rootfstype=foo,,bar", split_fs_names()
will return only 1 string "foo" (and "bar" will be truncated
due to extra ,). After this patch, now split_fs_names() will
return 3 strings ("foo", zero-sized-string, and "bar").
Callers of split_fs_names() have been modified to check for
zero sized string and skip to next one.

Currently the only non-blockdevice filesystems that can be used as the
initial root filesystem are NFS and CIFS, which use the magic
"root=/dev/nfs" and "root=/dev/cifs" syntax that requires the root
device file system details to come from filesystem specific kernel
command line options.
Add a little bit of new code that allows to just pass arbitrary
string mount options to any non-blockdevice filesystems so that it can
be mounted as the root file system.
For example a virtiofs root file system can be mounted using the
following syntax:
"root=myfs rootfstype=virtiofs rw"

Like do_mount, but takes a kernel pointer for the destination path.
Switch over the mounts in the init code and devtmpfs to it, which
just happen to work due to the implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) during early
init right now.

Remove the special handling for multiple floppies in the initrd code.
No one should be using floppies for booting these days. (famous last

There is no good reason for __bdevname to exist. Just open code
printing the string in the callers. For three of them the format
string can be trivially merged into existing printk statements,
and in init/do_mounts.c we can at least do the scnprintf once at
the start of the function, and unconditional of CONFIG_BLOCK to
make the output for tiny configfs a little more helpful.

The "trivial conversion" in commit cccaa5e335 ("init: use do_mount()
instead of ksys_mount()") was totally broken, since it didn't handle the
case of a NULL mount data pointer. And while I had "tested" it (and
presumably Dominik had too) that bug was hidden by me having options.

In prepare_namespace(), do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount()
as the first and third argument are const strings in the kernel, the
second and fourth argument are passed through anyway, and the fifth
argument is NULL.
In do_mount_root(), ksys_mount() is called with the first and third
argument being already kernelspace strings, which do not need to be
copied over from userspace to kernelspace (again). The second and
fourth arguments are passed through to do_mount() anyway. The fifth
argument, while already residing in kernelspace, needs to be put into
a page of its own. Then, do_mount() can be used instead of
ksys_mount().
Once this is done, there are no in-kernel users to ksys_mount() left,
which can therefore be removed.

In devtmpfs, do_mount() can be called directly instead of complex wrapping
by ksys_mount():
- the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel,
and do not need to be copied over from userspace;
- the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be
copied over from userspace;
- the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.

Add a new virtual device named /dev/cifs (0xfe) to tell the kernel to
mount the root file system over the network by using SMB protocol.
cifs_root_data() will be responsible to retrieve the parsed
information of the new command-line option (cifsroot=) and then call
do_mount_root() with the appropriate mount options for cifs.ko.

Convert the ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs and rootfs filesystems to the new
internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This
allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between
userspace, the VFS and the filesystem.
See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.
Note that tmpfs is slightly tricky as it can contain embedded commas, so it
can't be trivially split up using strsep() to break on commas in
generic_parse_monolithic(). Instead, tmpfs has to supply its own generic
parser.
However, if tmpfs changes, then devtmpfs and rootfs, which are wrappers
around tmpfs or ramfs, must change too - and thus so must ramfs, so these
had to be converted also.

No point having two call sites (earlier in init_rootfs() from
mnt_init() in case we are going to use shmem-style rootfs,
later from do_basic_setup() unconditionally), along with the
logics in shmem_init() itself to make the second call a no-op...

init_mount_tree() can get to rootfs_fs_type directly and that simplifies
a lot of things. We don't need to register it, we don't need to look
it up *and* we don't need to bother with preventing subsequent userland
mounts. That's the way we should've done that from the very beginning.
There is a user-visible change, namely the disappearance of "rootfs"
from /proc/filesystems. Note that it's been unmountable all along
and it didn't show up in /proc/mounts; however, it *is* a user-visible
change and theoretically some script might've been using its presence
in /proc/filesystems to tell 2.4.11+ from earlier kernels.
*IF* any complaints about behaviour change do show up, we could fake
it in /proc/filesystems. I very much doubt we'll have to, though.
