Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] mm/page_alloc: Fix panic caused by passing debug_guardpage_minorder or kernelcore to command line
Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2018 22:53:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1537628013-243902-1-git-send-email-zhe.he@windriver.com> (raw)

From: He Zhe <zhe.he@windriver.com>

debug_guardpage_minorder_setup and cmdline_parse_kernelcore do not check
input argument before using it. The argument would be a NULL pointer if
"debug_guardpage_minorder" or "kernelcore", without its value, is set in
command line and thus causes the following panic.

PANIC: early exception 0xe3 IP 10:ffffffffa08146f1 error 0 cr2 0x0

This patch adds a check to prevent the panic and adds KBUILD_MODNAME to
prints.
