Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: kernel-parameters: clarify "module." parameters
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 19:49:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <67d40b6d-c073-a3bf-cbb6-6cad941cceeb@infradead.org> (raw)

From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>

The command-line parameters "dyndbg" and "async_probe" are not
parameters for kernel/module.c but instead they are for the
module that is being loaded. Try to make that distinction in the
help text.

OTOH, "module.sig_enforce" is handled as a parameter of kernel/module.c
so "module." is correct for it.
