+Subject: proc: sysctl: prevent aliased sysctls from getting passed to init
+
+From: Krister Johansen <kjlx@templeofstupid.com>
+
+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.
