[PATCH v4 0/2] s390: Warn if kernel command line contains non-printable EBCDIC characters
From: Ilya Leoshkevich
Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 17:47:50 EST
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-s390/20260828140057.1728173-1-iii@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v3 -> v4: Switch to ASCII subset of EBCDIC (Sashiko, Heiko).
Add and use isspace_ebc_asc() to satisfy Heiko's comment
about newlines in v1.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260826150702.949956-1-iii@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v2 -> v3: Check whether source EBCDIC characters are printable
(David, Heiko).
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260825150840.537653-1-iii@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v1 -> v2: Account for newlines (Heiko).
Minor stylistic improvements: inline int i, bool return type,
comment modality.
Hi,
This series adds a warning for unintentional EBCDIC -> ASCII kernel
command line translations. Patch 1 adds EBCDIC character classes.
Patch 2 uses them for determining whether the command line is
printable.
Best regards,
Ilya
