Petitboot quote parsing

[Guilherme G. Piccoli]

Hi, I have a question about quote parsing.

I tried to add a dynamic debug entry in my grub.cfg to allow some 
debugging during kernel boot, but Petitboot isn't parsing the necessary 
quotes in my dyndbg parameter on cmdline, no matter how hard I try.

I added the following to my Ubuntu's /etc/default/grub.cfg:
dyndbg=\"file arch/powerpc/kernel/pci* +p\"

Then, grub-mkconfig generated my grub.cfg and added the following (it 
parsed the escape):
dyndbg="file arch/powerpc/kernel/pci* +p"

Petitboot however, when parsed that grub.cfg generated a boot cmdline 
with: dyndbg=file arch/powerpc/kernel/pci* +p
Basically it removed the quotes.


Then, I tried different: I manually set my grub.cfg with escapes, so it 
showed as: dyndbg=\"file arch/powerpc/kernel/pci* +p\"
I expected that this way Petitboot would parse the escape, keeping the 
quotes. Instead, it just didn't show any option on UI, so I needed to 
manually kexec the kernel from mounted partition heheh.
Petitboot mounted the partition fine, but seemed unable to parse the 
"escaped" quotes.


Now, my question is how can I achieve this quote insertion on cmdline 
provided from Petitboot to Ubuntu kernel? Any hint will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
