I'm quite pleased this could be implemented using the existing helpers!
It seems Linus and I were on the right track with these. :)

Ah, interesting. As in, bprm->buf must not be modified unless the binfmt
handler is going to succeed. I think this requirement should be
documented in the binfmt struct header file.

I think this is all correct, though I'm always suspicious of my visual
inspection of string parsers. ;)

I had a worry the \n was not handled correctly in some case. I.e. before
any \n was converted into \0, and so next_terminator() didn't need to
consider \n separately. (next_non_spacetab() doesn't care since \n and \0
are both not ' ' nor '\t'.) For next_terminator(), though, I was worried
there was a case where *i_end == '\n', and next_terminator()
will return NULL instead of "last" due to *last being '\n' instead of
'\0', causing a problem, but you're using the adjusted i_end so I think
it's correct. And you've handled i_name == i_end.

I will see if I can find my testing scripts I used when commit
b5372fe5dc84 originally landed to double-check... until then:
