Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle_set accepts alpha numeric values for idle-set operation

For both the d and e options in cpuidle_set, an atoi() conversion is
done without checking if the input argument is all numeric. So, an
atoi conversion is done on any character provided as input and the
CPU idle_set operation continues with that integer value, which may
not be what is intended or entirely correct.

A similar check is present for cpufreq-set already.

This patch adds a check to see that the idle_set value is all numeric
before doing a string-to-int conversion.

Any reason why you can't use isdigit()? Please see isdigit()
usages examples in other tools and cpupower itself.

Another thing. Please add "cpupower:" to identify what you are
changing clearly.

Okay - Let me clarify my question a bit. What I am looking for
is if there is an existing function that can do what you are doing
here. It appears there is one:

Please take a look at the exiting is_number() in
tools/perf/tests/pmu-events.c

It uses strtod() to do what you are doing with strlen() and loop
over it with isdigit().

It is static and you can't use it as is.

Unfortunately you will have to duplicate this routine to keep
cpupower not dependent on tools/lib. Please add it to cpupower
lib instead.
