Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] kgdboc: Passing ekgdboc to command line causes panic
Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2018 22:42:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1534516949-420150-1-git-send-email-zhe.he@windriver.com> (raw)
From: He Zhe <zhe.he@windriver.com>
kgdboc_option_setup does not check input argument before passing it
to strlen. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "ekgdboc", without
its value, is set in command line and thus cause the following panic.
PANIC: early exception 0xe3 IP 10:ffffffff8fbbb620 error 0 cr2 0x0

This patch adds a check to prevent the panic.
