Subject: [PATCH] cpupower: replace atoi() with validated parse_int_range() helper
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 09:58:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260331042859.1920369-1-kaushlendra.kumar@intel.com> (raw)
atoi() provides no error detection for invalid input or out-of-range
values. Introduce parse_int_range(), which uses strtol() with full
errno and end-pointer checking, returning -EINVAL on parse failure
and -ERANGE when the value falls outside the caller-supplied [min,
max] bounds.
Switch --perf-bias and --turbo-boost option parsing to use this
helper. Also move error messages from printf() to fprintf(stderr)
to follow standard CLI conventions for diagnostic output.
