kernel/crash_core: suppress unknown crashkernel parameter warning
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When booting with crashkernel= on the kernel command line a warning
similar to

    Kernel command line: ro console=ttyS0 crashkernel=256M
    Unknown kernel command line parameters "crashkernel=256M", will be passed to user space.

is printed.

This comes from crashkernel= being parsed independent from the kernel
parameter handling mechanism.  So the code in init/main.c doesn't know
that crashkernel= is a valid kernel parameter and prints this incorrect
warning.

Suppress the warning by adding a dummy early_param handler for
crashkernel=.
