docs: selinux: add '=' signs to kernel boot options
Provide the full kernel boot option string (with ending '=' sign). They won't work without that and that is how other boot options are listed. If used without an '=' sign (as listed here), they cause an "Unknown parameters" message and are added to init's argument strings, polluting them. Unknown kernel command line parameters "enforcing checkreqprot BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6", will be passed to user space. Run /sbin/init as init process with arguments: /sbin/init enforcing checkreqprot with environment: HOME=/ TERM=linux BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6 Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Cc: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com> Cc: Stephen Smalley <stephen.smalley.work@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@parisplace.org> Cc: selinux@vger.kernel.org Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> [PM: removed bogus 'Fixes' line] Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul@paul-moore.com>
