From 0a07bef6e5c58874d510f452c72eb12a31200e0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Guilherme G. Piccoli" Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2020 15:36:49 -0300 Subject: Documentation: Better document the softlockup_panic sysctl Commit 9c44bc03fff4 ("softlockup: allow panic on lockup") added the softlockup_panic sysctl, but didn't add information about it to the file Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst (which in that time certainly wasn't rst and had other name!). This patch just adds the respective documentation and references it from the corresponding entry in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt. This patch was strongly based on Scott Wood's commit d22881dc13b6 ("Documentation: Better document the hardlockup_panic sysctl"). Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Guilherme G.
