[PATCH v3 0/3] fix parsing of reboot= cmdline

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Tue Nov 03 2020 - 16:40:34 EST


From: Matteo Croce <mcroce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The parsing of the reboot= cmdline has two major errors:
- a missing bound check can crash the system on reboot
- parsing of the cpu number only works if specified last

Fix both, along with a small code refactor.

v2->v3:
Revert the offending commit first, then fix the other bug.
CC stable
v1->v2:
As Petr suggested, don't force base 10 in simple_strtoul(),
so hex values are accepted as well.

Matteo Croce (3):
Revert "kernel/reboot.c: convert simple_strtoul to kstrtoint"
reboot: fix overflow parsing reboot cpu number
reboot: refactor and comment the cpu selection code
