kgdboc: Passing ekgdboc to command line causes panic
commit 1bd54d851f50dea6af30c3e6ff4f3e9aab5558f9 upstream. kgdboc_option_setup does not check input argument before passing it to strlen. The argument would be a NULL pointer if "ekgdboc", without its value, is set in command line and thus cause the following panic. PANIC: early exception 0xe3 IP 10:ffffffff8fbbb620 error 0 cr2 0x0 [ 0.000000] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.18-rc8+ #1 [ 0.000000] RIP: 0010:strlen+0x0/0x20 ...
