[PATCH 5.4 256/475] kgdboc: fix return value of __setup handler

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Apr 14 2022 - 10:56:50 EST


From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ab818c7aa7544bf8d2dd4bdf68878b17a02eb332 ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 to obsolete_checksetup() in
init/main.c to indicate that the boot option has been handled.
A return of 0 causes the boot option/value to be listed as an Unknown
kernel parameter and added to init's (limited) environment strings.
So return 1 from kgdboc_option_setup().

Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc7
kgdboc=kbd kgdbts=", will be passed to user space.

Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc7
kgdboc=kbd
kgdbts=
