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")
