------------------------------------------------------ From: Matteo Croce mcroce@microsoft.com Subject: Revert "kernel/reboot.c: convert simple_strtoul to kstrtoint"

Patch series "fix parsing of reboot= cmdline", v3.

The parsing of the reboot= cmdline has two major errors:

- a missing bound check can crash the system on reboot - parsing of the cpu number only works if specified last

Fix both.

This patch (of 2):

This reverts commit 616feab753972b97.

kstrtoint() and simple_strtoul() have a subtle difference which makes them non interchangeable: if a non digit character is found amid the parsing, the former will return an error, while the latter will just stop parsing, e.g. simple_strtoul("123xyx") = 123.

The kernel cmdline reboot= argument allows to specify the CPU used for rebooting, with the syntax `s####` among the other flags, e.g. "reboot=warm,s31,force", so if this flag is not the last given, it's silently ignored as well as the subsequent ones.
