[merged] mm-usercopy-return-1-from-hardened_usercopy-__setup-handler.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/usercopy: return 1 from hardened_usercopy __setup() handler
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-usercopy-return-1-from-hardened_usercopy-__setup-handler.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
Subject: mm/usercopy: return 1 from hardened_usercopy __setup() handler

__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 hardened_usercopy=off", 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
     hardened_usercopy=off
or
     hardened_usercopy=on
but when "hardened_usercopy=foo" is used, there is no Unknown kernel
command line parameter.

Return 1 to indicate that the boot option has been handled.
Print a warning if strtobool() returns an error on the option string,
but do not mark this as in unknown command line option and do not cause
init's environment to be polluted with this string.
