Subject: [PATCH 3/7] efi/libstub: Use ucs2_string library for UTF-16 to UTF-8 conversion
Date: Sun,  6 Sep 2026 15:08:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260906130817.1151961-12-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260906130817.1151961-9-ardb@kernel.org>

Don't rely on sprintf() with a wide string conversion modifier to
convert the command line from UTF-16 to UTF-8. Instead, use the
existing ucs2 string library routine that does the same. Note that while
UEFI claims support for UTF-16, in practice it ignores surrogate pairs
entirely, and so the simplified UCS-2 character set (where each
character takes up exactly 2 bytes) is sufficient here.

This removes the only user of sprintf() in the EFI stub, so drop that
function as well.

While at it, make cmdline_addr a char* and remove the pointless casts.
