Subject[PATCH v2] initramfs: print error and shell out for unsupported content
Date
The initramfs generation is broken for file and directory names which contain
colons or spaces. Print an error and don't try to continue.

Tests:

cd linux
make defconfig
echo 'CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y' >> .config
echo 'CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID=0' >>.config
echo 'CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID=0' >>.config
echo 'CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE=y' >>.config
echo 'CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE="/tmp/bugroot"' >>.config

Problem with colons:

mkdir -p /tmp/bugroot/a:b
make -j4 bzImage # no error
make bzImage # try again, oops

Problem with spaces:

mkdir -p /tmp/bugroot/a\ b
make -j4 bzImage # no error
zcat usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz | cpio --extract --list # oops, no content

Silly and trivial changes in v2: Fixed a typo and added 'colons and spaces'
