Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/mmap: return 1 from stack_guard_gap __setup() handler
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2022 16:58:17 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220222005817.11087-1-rdunlap@infradead.org> (raw)
__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.
Fixes: 1be7107fbe18e ("mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas")
