Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 2/2] tracing: Fix return value of __setup handlers

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@...radead.org>

__setup() handlers should generally return 1 to indicate that the
boot options have been handled.

Using invalid option values causes the entire kernel boot option
string to be reported as Unknown and added to init's environment
strings, polluting it.

  Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
    kprobe_event=p,syscall_any,$arg1 trace_options=quiet
    trace_clock=jiffies", will be passed to user space.

 Run /sbin/init as init process
   with arguments:
     /sbin/init
   with environment:
     HOME=/
     TERM=linux
     BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
     kprobe_event=p,syscall_any,$arg1
     trace_options=quiet
     trace_clock=jiffies

Return 1 from the __setup() handlers so that init's environment is not
polluted with kernel boot options.
