Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Use strtobool for noexec parsing
Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2022 20:13:56 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220227201356.241452-1-linux@treblig.org> (raw)

Use strtobool to parse the 'noexec' parameter rather than open coding
it.
'disable_nx' is changed to a bool and flipped to 'enable_nx'
so it's meaning follows the command line option.

There's no change in behaviour for noexec=on/off.
noexec=junk will now warn
strtobool allows 0/1 and y/n (etc) as well as the on/off.
