[PATCH 5.17 330/772] x86: Fix return value of __setup handlers

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jun 07 2022 - 17:03:15 EST


From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 12441ccdf5e2f5a01a46e344976cbbd3d46845c9 ]

__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) argument (no '=') or environment
(with '=') strings. So return 1 from these x86 __setup handlers.

Examples:

Unknown kernel command line parameters "apicpmtimer
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc8 vdso=1 ring3mwait=disable", will be
passed to user space.

Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
apicpmtimer
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc8
vdso=1
ring3mwait=disable

Fixes: 77b52b4c5c66 ("x86: add "debugpat" boot option")
Fixes: e16fd002afe2 ("x86/cpufeature: Enable RING3MWAIT for Knights Landing")
Fixes: b8ce33590687 ("x86_64: convert to clock events")
