lib/cmdline.c: fix get_options() overflow while parsing ranges

2017-06-29T10:48:51Z

commit a91e0f680bcd9e10c253ae8b62462a38bd48f09f upstream. When using get_options() it's possible to specify a range of numbers, like 1-100500. The problem is that it doesn't track array size while calling internally to get_range() which iterates over the range and fills the memory with numbers.

lib: Add a generic cmdline parse function parse_option_str

2014-10-03T17:40:58Z

There should be a generic function to parse params like a=b,c Adding parse_option_str in lib/cmdline.c which will return true if there's specified option set in the params. Also updated efi=old_map parsing code to use the new function Signed-off-by: Dave Young Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

lib: reduce the use of module.h wherever possible

2012-03-07T20:04:04Z

For files only using THIS_MODULE and/or EXPORT_SYMBOL, map them onto including export.h -- or if the file isn't even using those, then just delete the include. Fix up any implicit include dependencies that were being masked by module.h along the way. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

lib: allow memparse() to accept a NULL and ignorable second parm

2008-07-25T17:53:27Z

Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed string. In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no interest in it and promptly throw it away. This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

[PATCH] get_options to allow a hypenated range for isolcpus

2006-12-07T16:39:35Z

This allows a hyphenated range of positive numbers in the string passed to command line helper function, get_options. Currently the command line option "isolcpus=" takes as its argument a list of cpus. Format: ,..., Valid values of include all cpus, 0 to "number of CPUs in system - 1". This can get extremely long when isolating the majority of cpus on a large system. The kernel isolcpus code would not need any changing to use this feature. To use it, the change would be in the command line format for 'isolcpus=' Format: ,..., or - (must be a positive range in ascending order.) or a mixture ,...,- Signed-off-by: Derek Fults Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
