[PATCH 1/4] libkmod-config: revamp kcmdline parsing into a state machine

[PATCH 1/4] libkmod-config: revamp kcmdline parsing into a state machine

[Lucas De Marchi]

The handling of spaces and quotes is becoming hard to maintain. Convert
the parser into a state machine so we can check all the states. This
should make it easier to fix a corner case we have right now:
The kernel also accepts a quote before the module name instead of the
value. But this additional is left for later. This is purely an
algorithm change with no behavior change.

[PATCH 2/4] libkmod-config: re-quote option from kernel cmdline

[Lucas De Marchi]

It was reported that grub mangles the kernel cmdline. It turns

	acpi_cpufreq.dyndbg="file drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +mpf"

	into

	"acpi_cpufreq.dyndbg=file drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +mpf"

However, even though we could blame grub for doing that, the kernel
happily accepts and re-quotes it when the module is built-in.
So, it's better if kmod also understands it this way and does the same.

Here we basically add additional code to un-mangle it, moving the quote
in way that is acceptable to pass through init_module(). Note that the
interface [f]init_module() gives us mandates the quote to be part of the
value: the module name is not passed and the options are separated by
space.

[PATCH 3/4] testsuite: allow to re-use single function for tests

[Lucas De Marchi]

Add a new DEFINE_TEST_WITH_FUNC() that accepts the function
alongside the test name. This will allow us to share a single function
for different tests.
