Problem: In many cases, KDB treats invalid commands as numbers and instead of printing a usage error, goes ahead and just prints the number in hex
Example: This can be demonstrated when typing for example "aaazzz", this confuses KDB into thinking this is the hexadecimal 0xAAA Solution: Before assuming that the input from the user is a number, check that it contains only characters that represent numbers. Also, along the way, transition to using kstrtoul instead of simple_strtoul (better practice as stated in the definition of the function) Signed-off-by: Nir Lichtman <n...@lichtman.org> --- kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c b/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c index f5f7d7fb5936..4efdc4d25a59 100644 --- a/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c +++ b/kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_main.c @@ -402,18 +402,18 @@ static void kdb_printenv(void) */ int kdbgetularg(const char *arg, unsigned long *value) { - char *endp; unsigned long val; - val = simple_strtoul(arg, &endp, 0); + if ((strpbrk(arg, hex_asc) == NULL) + && (strpbrk(arg, hex_asc_upper) == NULL)) + return KDB_BADINT; - if (endp == arg) { + if (kstrtoul(arg, 0, &val) != 0) { /* * Also try base 16, for us folks too lazy to type the * leading 0x... */ - val = simple_strtoul(arg, &endp, 16); - if (endp == arg) + if (kstrtoul(arg, 16, &val) != 0) return KDB_BADINT; } -- 2.39.2 _______________________________________________ Kgdb-bugreport mailing list Kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kgdb-bugreport
