    Subject[PATCH 4.9 014/141] x86/corruption-check: Fix panic in memory_corruption_check() when boot option without value is provided
    Date
    4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: He Zhe <zhe.he@windriver.com>

    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.

    PANIC: early exception 0xe3 IP 10:ffffffff73587c22 error 0 cr2 0x0
    [ 0.000000] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.18-rc8+ #2

    This patch adds checks to prevent the panic.
