Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/xmon: Fix whitespace handling in getstring()
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2020 15:13:43 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200217041343.2454-1-oohall@gmail.com> (raw)

The ls (lookup symbol) and zr (reboot) commands use xmon's getstring()
helper to read a string argument from the xmon prompt. This function skips
over leading whitespace, but doesn't check if the first "non-whitespace"
character is a newline which causes some odd behaviour (<enter> indicates
a the enter key was pressed):

	0:mon> ls printk<enter>
	printk: c0000000001680c4

	0:mon> ls<enter>
	printk<enter>
	Symbol '
	printk' not found.
	0:mon>

With commit 2d9b332d99b ("powerpc/xmon: Allow passing an argument
to ppc_md.restart()") we have a similar problem with the zr command.
Previously zr took no arguments so "zr<enter> would trigger a reboot.
With that patch applied a second newline needs to be sent in order for
the reboot to occur. Fix this by checking if the leading whitespace
ended on a newline:

	0:mon> ls<enter>
	Symbol '' not found.

Fixes: 2d9b332d99b ("powerpc/xmon: Allow passing an argument to ppc_md.restart()")
