Subject[PATCH 5.10 141/599] EVM: fix the evm= __setup handler return value
Date
From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

[ Upstream commit f2544f5e6c691679d56bb38637d2f347075b36fa ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 if the parameter is handled.
Returning 0 causes the entire string to be added to init's
environment strings (limited to 32 strings), unnecessarily polluting it.

Using the documented string "evm=fix" causes an Unknown parameter message:
Unknown kernel command line parameters
"BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 evm=fix", will be passed to user space.

and that string is added to init's environment string space:
Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5
evm=fix

With this change, using "evm=fix" acts as expected and an invalid
option ("evm=evm") causes a warning to be printed:
evm: invalid "evm" mode
but init's environment is not polluted with this string, as expected.

Fixes: 7102ebcd65c1 ("evm: permit only valid security.evm xattrs to be updated")
