[PATCH v2] Documentation/proc.txt: Add 2 missing fields for /proc/<pid>/status

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It was found that two of the fields in the /proc/<pid>/status file were
missing - CapAmb & Speculation_Store_Bypass. They are now added to the
proc.txt documentation file.

v2: Update the example as well.
