H A D | sysctl.h | 2b1ee516 Fri Oct 27 16:46:40 CDT 2023 Krister Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com> proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init
commit 8001f49394e353f035306a45bcf504f06fca6355 upstream.
The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values. If a user sets an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed to init. Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the unknown boot parameter code. If an alias exists, don't return an error or pass the value to init.
