I think the logic would probably clearer if we invert this to become xmon_on. > @@ -3266,16 +3269,16 @@ static int __init setup_xmon_sysrq(void) > __initcall(setup_xmon_sysrq); > #endif /* CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ */ > > -static int __initdata xmon_early, xmon_off; > +static int __initdata xmon_early; > > static int __init early_parse_xmon(char *p) > { > if (!p || strncmp(p, "early", 5) == 0) { > /* just "xmon" is equivalent to "xmon=early" */ > - xmon_init(1); > xmon_early = 1; > + xmon_off = 0; > } else if (strncmp(p, "on", 2) == 0) > - xmon_init(1); > + xmon_off = 0; You've just changed the timing of when xmon gets enabled for the above two cases, from here which is called very early, to xmon_setup() which is called much later in boot. That effectively disables xmon for most of the boot, which we do not want to do. cheers
