Subject: [PATCH 1/3 v3] Docs: admin/kernel-parameters: edit a few boot options
Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2022 22:48:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220403054822.16868-2-rdunlap@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220403054822.16868-1-rdunlap@infradead.org>
Clean up some of admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt:
a. "smt" should be "smt=" (S390)
b. (dropped)
c. Sparc supports the vdso= boot option
d. make the tp_printk options (2) formatting similar to other options
by adding spacing
e. add "trace_clock=" with a reference to Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst
f. use [IA-64] as documented instead of [ia64]
g. fix formatting and text for test_suspend=
h. fix formatting for swapaccount=
i. fix formatting and grammar for video.brightness_switch_enabled=
