v4.14 and later:
{
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "NoNewPrivs:\t", task_no_new_privs(p));
#ifdef CONFIG_SECCOMP
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "\nSeccomp:\t", p->seccomp.mode);
#endif
seq_printf(m, "\nSpeculation_Store_Bypass:\t");
---
v4.9:
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SECCOMP
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "Seccomp:\t", p->seccomp.mode);
^^^
#endif
seq_printf(m, "\nSpeculation_Store_Bypass:\t");
^^^
-> extra newline if CONFIG_SECCOMP=n
---
v4.4:
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SECCOMP
seq_printf(m, "Seccomp:\t%d\n", p->seccomp.mode);
^^^
#endif
seq_printf(m, "\nSpeculation_Store_Bypass:\t");
^^^
-> always extra newline
