I just checked why this did not show up earlier.

With 20190718T143316.4e75b2ae3 and command "linux ($root)/file var='str'" 
nothing is escaped.
The command "linux ($root)/boot/vmlinuz ${cmdline} var="str" var='str'" from my 
earlier example results in this cmdline:

BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos2)/boot/vmlinuz \"str1\" \'str2\' console=ttyS0,115200 
quiet var=str var=str

I just noticed now that in the production code I use since months the single 
quotes disappeared, and the consumers of /proc/cmdline do not care about this 
detail.

So in the end I may just remove the existing single quote from my code any 
everything should work fine for the consumers of /proc/cmdline.
