If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2d6218f396b4feb6815d00e0bcab09968aa1182b Author: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 21 15:03:25 2023 +0800 LoongArch: Silence the boot warning about 'nokaslr' [ Upstream commit 902d75cdf0cf0a3fb58550089ee519abf12566f5 ] The kernel parameter 'nokaslr' is handled before start_kernel(), so we don't need early_param() to mark it technically. But it can cause a boot warning as follows: Unknown kernel command line parameters "nokaslr", will be passed to user space. When we use 'init=/bin/bash', 'nokaslr' which passed to user space will even cause a kernel panic. So we use early_param() to mark 'nokaslr', simply print a notice and silence the boot warning (also fix a potential panic). This logic is similar to RISC-V.
