stable inclusion from stable-v6.6.3 commit 2b1ee516b16a4174a906010d2d42bae5ce78ba04 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I8LBQP
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 8001f49394e353f035306a45bcf504f06fca6355 upstream.
The code that checks for unknown boot options is unaware of the sysctl alias facility, which maps bootparams to sysctl values. If a user sets an old value that has a valid alias, a message about an invalid parameter will be printed during boot, and the parameter will get passed to init. Fix by checking for the existence of aliased parameters in the unknown boot parameter code. If an alias exists, don't return an error or pass the value to init.
