commit e6d094936988910ce6e8197570f2753898830081 upstream.
__setup() handlers should return 1 if the command line option is handled
and 0 if not (or maybe never return 0; it just pollutes init's
environment). This prevents:
Unknown kernel command line parameters \
"BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 stack_guard_gap=100", 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-517rc5
stack_guard_gap=100
Return 1 to indicate that the boot option has been handled.
Note that there is no warning message if someone enters:
stack_guard_gap=anything_invalid
and 'val' and stack_guard_gap are both set to 0 due to the use of
simple_strtoul(). This could be improved by using kstrtoxxx() and
checking for an error.
It appears that having stack_guard_gap == 0 is valid (if unexpected) since
using "stack_guard_gap=0" on the kernel command line does that.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
