[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.

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
