Randy Dunlap d788ad472f EVM: fix the evm= __setup handler return value 
[ Upstream commit f2544f5e6c ]

__setup() handlers should return 1 if the parameter is handled.
Returning 0 causes the entire string to be added to init's
environment strings (limited to 32 strings), unnecessarily polluting it.

Using the documented string "evm=fix" causes an Unknown parameter message:
  Unknown kernel command line parameters
  "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5 evm=fix", will be passed to user space.

and that string is added to init's environment string space:
  Run /sbin/init as init process
    with arguments:
     /sbin/init
    with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc5
     evm=fix

With this change, using "evm=fix" acts as expected and an invalid
option ("evm=evm") causes a warning to be printed:
  evm: invalid "evm" mode
but init's environment is not polluted with this string, as expected.

Fixes: 7102ebcd65 ("evm: permit only valid security.evm xattrs to be updated")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
