Subject: [PATCH 2/3] s390/boot: Avoid IPL parameter append past command line
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 14:01:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <p02-03.g5fb840964ae7.ttkffvj@ub.hpns> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <c00-03.ttkffvj@ub.hpns>

A command line may occupy all but the terminating byte of
COMMAND_LINE_SIZE. In that case append_ipl_block_parm() passes a zero size
to the IPL parameter conversion helpers and points the destination one
byte past early_command_line. The helpers subtract one from the unsigned
size and write the converted parameter outside the command line buffer.

Convert the IPL parameter in the command line parsing buffer first. A
parameter beginning with '=' can then replace the existing command line
regardless of its length, while other parameters are appended only when
space remains.

Fixes: 5ecb2da660ab ("s390: support command lines longer than 896 bytes")
