3.18 and 4.4 are still missing this important fix to early parameter parsing:
commit 02afeaae9843733a39cd9b11053748b2d1dc5ae7 Author: Dave Hansen dave.hansen@linux.intel.com Date: Tue Dec 22 14:52:38 2015 -0800
x86/boot: Fix early command-line parsing when matching at end
I have cherry-picked that commit into both 3.18.y and 4.4.y (it applies cleanly) and tested them on my machine. Both worked correctly.
Test method: - Added printks to the functions that detect noxsave, noxsaves and noxsaveopt - Booted both kernels with and without the commit, and adding the kernel parameter "noxsave" - Checked that "noxsaves" and "noxsaveopt" do not appear on dmesg anymore after the commit.
Thanks, Daniel
