[PATCH v4 2/3] twist: Allow disabling k_spec() function in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Tue Apr 21 2020 - 09:22:50 EST


syzbot is reporting unexpected kernel reboots [1]. This seems to be
caused by triggering Ctrl-Alt-Del event via k_spec() function in
drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c file, for the console output includes normal
restart sequence.

Comparing RSDP and RSDP

Therefore, allow disabling only k_spec() function in order to allow
fuzzers to examine the remaining part in that file.
