[merged mm-nonmm-stable] init-handle-bootloader-identifier-in-kernel-parameters.patch removed from -mm tree

by Andrew Morton

The quilt patch titled Subject: init: handle bootloader identifier in kernel parameters has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was init-handle-bootloader-identifier-in-kernel-parameters.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai(a)loongson.cn> Subject: init: handle bootloader identifier in kernel parameters Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 18:13:43 +0800 BootLoaders (Grub, LILO, etc) may pass an identifier such as "BOOT_IMAGE= /boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z" to kernel parameters. But these identifiers are not recognized by the kernel itself so will be passed to userspace. However user space init program also don't recognize it. KEXEC/KDUMP (kexec-tools) may also pass an identifier such as "kexec" on some architectures. We cannot change BootLoader's behavior, because this behavior exists for many years, and there are already user space programs search BOOT_IMAGE= in /proc/cmdline to obtain the kernel image locations: https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/util.go (search getBootOptions) https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/main.go (search getKernelReleaseWithBootOption) So the the best way is handle (ignore) it by the kernel itself, which can avoid such boot warnings (if we use something like init=/bin/bash, bootloader identifier can even cause a crash): Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x", will be passed to user space.
