This patch memset modified_cmdline after it alloced. Without this patch, the header of command line always contains random value like following example: kernel: 0x765fd008 kernel_size: 0x23b610 memory range: [0x60000000 - 0x6fffffff] (256M) memory range: [0x78000000 - 0x9fffffff] (640M) ... kernel command line: "????# elfcorehdr=0x77f00000 mem=130048K" Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0 at huawei.com> Cc: Geng Hui <hui.geng at huawei.com> --- kexec/arch/arm/kexec-zImage-arm.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/kexec/arch/arm/kexec-zImage-arm.c b/kexec/arch/arm/kexec-zImage-arm.c index 220826e..4b5d3f4 100644 --- a/kexec/arch/arm/kexec-zImage-arm.c +++ b/kexec/arch/arm/kexec-zImage-arm.c @@ -378,6 +378,8 @@ int zImage_arm_load(int argc, char **argv, const char *buf, off_t len, if (!modified_cmdline) return -1; + memset(modified_cmdline, '\0', COMMAND_LINE_SIZE); + if (command_line) { (void) strncpy(modified_cmdline, command_line, COMMAND_LINE_SIZE); -- 1.8.4
