The -w argument in x86_energy_perf_policy currently triggers an unconditional segfault. This is because the argument string reads: "+a:c:dD:E:e:f:m:M:rt:u:vw" and yet the argument handler expects an argument. When parse_optarg_string is called with a null argument, we then proceed to crash in strncmp, not horribly friendly. The man page describes -w as taking an argument, the long form (--hwp-window) is correctly marked as taking a required argument, and the code expects it. As such, this patch simply marks the short form (-w) as requiring an argument. Signed-off-by: Zephaniah E. Loss-Cutler-Hull <zephaniah@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
