The ls (lookup symbol) and zr (reboot) commands use xmon's getstring()
helper to read a string argument from the xmon prompt. This function
skips over leading whitespace, but doesn't check if the first
"non-whitespace" character is a newline which causes some odd
behaviour (<enter> indicates a the enter key was pressed):
0:mon> ls printk<enter>
printk: c0000000001680c4
0:mon> ls<enter>
printk<enter>
Symbol '
printk' not found.
0:mon>
With commit 2d9b332d99b ("powerpc/xmon: Allow passing an argument to
ppc_md.restart()") we have a similar problem with the zr command.
Previously zr took no arguments so "zr<enter> would trigger a reboot.
With that patch applied a second newline needs to be sent in order for
the reboot to occur. Fix this by checking if the leading whitespace
ended on a newline:
0:mon> ls<enter>
Symbol '' not found.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
