commit 02afeaae upstream. The x86 early command line parsing in cmdline_find_option_bool() is buggy. If it matches a specified 'option' all the way to the end of the command-line, it will consider it a match. For instance, cmdline = "foo"; cmdline_find_option_bool(cmdline, "fool"); will return 1. This is particularly annoying since we have actual FPU options like "noxsave" and "noxsaves" So, command-line "foo bar noxsave" will match *BOTH* a "noxsave" and "noxsaves". (This turns out not to be an actual problem because "noxsave" implies "noxsaves", but it's still confusing.) To fix this, we simplify the code and stop tracking 'len'. 'len' was trying to indicate either the NULL terminator *OR* the end of a non-NULL-terminated command line at 'COMMAND_LINE_SIZE'. But, each of the three states is *already* checking 'cmdline' for a NULL terminator. We _only_ need to check if we have overrun 'COMMAND_LINE_SIZE', and that we can do without keeping 'len' around. Also add some commends to clarify what is going on.
