[PATCH 9/9] x86/mwait-idle: Add C-states validation
Posted by Jan Beulich 1 week, 4 days ago
From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

Add validation for C-states specified via the "table=" module parameter.
Treat this module parameter as untrusted input and validate it thoroughly.

Add __init to validate_cmdline_cstate(). Other adjustments to fit our env.
