Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2023 16:18:02 +0200 Message-Id: <20230715141802.530378-1-jo.vanbulck@cs.kuleuven.be> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.25.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Parse the pti=3D and nopti cmdline options using early_param to fix 'Unknown kernel command line parameters "nopti", will be passed to user space' warnings in the kernel log when nopti or pti=3D are passed to the kernel cmdline on x86 platforms. Additionally allow the kernel to warn for malformed pti=3D options.
