From ab74d00a39f70e1bc34a01322bb59f3750ca7a8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Cernekee Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2014 00:55:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] of: Fix crash if an earlycon driver is not found __earlycon_of_table_sentinel.compatible is a char[128], not a pointer, so it will never be NULL. Checking it against NULL causes the match loop to run past the end of the array, and eventually match a bogus entry, under the following conditions: - Kernel command line specifies "earlycon" with no parameters - DT has a stdout-path pointing to a UART node - The UART driver doesn't use OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE (or maybe the console driver is compiled out) Fix this by checking to see if match->compatible is a non-empty string.
