Subject: [PATCH] 10_linux.in: escape kernel option characters properly
This handles cases where kernel options, specifically the values,
contain special characters, in this case ';', '&' and '$'.
For example, the user defines the following GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX on the
default grub file /etc/default/grub, note the dolar sign on the 'memmap'
option
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=ttyS0 memmap=32g\\\$0x2000000000"
then regenerating the grub cfg and BLS options line with the
grub2-mkconfig command, resulting into
options root=UUID=6baedf23-2510-499a-815d-48b58cf6e619 ro
rootflags=subvol=root console=ttyS0 memmap=32g\$0x2000000000
without this patch, we would end up with
options root=UUID=6baedf23-2510-499a-815d-48b58cf6e619 ro
rootflags=subvol=root console=ttyS0 memmap=32g$0x2000000000
Note the missing '\' which is required to escape the '$', otherwise
it would be consider a variable by blscfg parser which is not the case.
