[PATCH 5.16 06/37] efi: fix return value of __setup handlers

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Mar 21 2022 - 10:13:12 EST


From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9feaf8b387ee0ece9c1d7add308776b502a35d0c ]

When "dump_apple_properties" is used on the kernel boot command line,
it causes an Unknown parameter message and the string is added to init's
argument strings:

Unknown kernel command line parameters "dump_apple_properties
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6 efivar_ssdt=newcpu_ssdt", will be
passed to user space.

Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
dump_apple_properties
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
efivar_ssdt=newcpu_ssdt

Similarly when "efivar_ssdt=somestring" is used, it is added to the
Unknown parameter message and to init's environment strings, polluting
them (see examples above).

Change the return value of the __setup functions to 1 to indicate
that the __setup options have been handled.

Fixes: 58c5475aba67 ("x86/efi: Retrieve and assign Apple device properties")
Fixes: 475fb4e8b2f4 ("efi / ACPI: load SSTDs from EFI variables")
