Hello, due to work on the fadump_extra_args I looked at the kernel parameter parser and found its grammar rather curious. It supports double quotes but not any other quoting characters so double quotes cannot be quoted. What's more, the quotes can be anywhere in the parameter name or value and are interpteted but are removed only from start and end of the parameter value. These are the patches not specific to fadump which somewhat straighten the qouting grammar to make it on par with common shell interpreters. Specifically double and single quotes can be used for quoting as well as backslashes with the usual shell semantic. All quoting characters are removed while the parameters are parsed. Previous versions (including the fadump part) can be found here: https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg126148.html https://www.mail-archive.com/linuxppc-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg123639.html Thanks Michal Michal Suchanek (5): lib/cmdline.c: Add backslash support to kernel commandline parsing.
