From 967afd9a748469cb23bc0118b173d3538e0c65b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: He Zhe Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2018 23:33:42 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/corruption-check: Fix panic in memory_corruption_check() when boot option without value is provided commit ccde460b9ae5c2bd5e4742af0a7f623c2daad566 upstream. memory_corruption_check[{_period|_size}]()'s handlers do not check input argument before passing it to kstrtoul() or simple_strtoull(). The argument would be a NULL pointer if each of the kernel parameters, without its value, is set in command line and thus cause the following panic.
