Hi Boris, Masa, and Baoquan,

Fine, I have put it to misc.c:

diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c
index 8dd1d5ccae58..714b05b65a33 100644

        error("detected buffer overflow");

+#endif

And define it in misc.h:

diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.h b/arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.h
index 4a3645fda0ed..98e28c4281ee 100644

But isdigit() would be redefine, so:

diff --git a/include/linux/ctype.h b/include/linux/ctype.h

Now I can make it.
I wonder whether this is OK to cover isdigit() with 'BOOT_STRING' tag.

Thanks,
Chao Fan
