We have some very similarly named command-line options: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsave", x86_xsave_setup); arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsaveopt", x86_xsaveopt_setup); arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:__setup("noxsaves", x86_xsaves_setup); __setup() is designed to match options that take arguments, like "foo=bar" where you would have: __setup("foo", x86_foo_func...); The problem is that "noxsave" actually _matches_ "noxsaves" in the same way that "foo" matches "foo=bar". If you boot an old kernel that does not know about "noxsaves" with "noxsaves" on the command line, it will interpret the argument as "noxsave", which is not what you want at all. This makes the "noxsave" handler only return success when it finds an *exact* match. [ tglx: We really need to make __setup() more robust. ] Signed-off-by:
