MAINTAINERS: use tabs for indent of CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTING THREAT MODEL

2024-01-08T18:39:00+00:00

There are two MAINTAINERS entries which snuck in during the previous merge window which use spaces instead of tabs for indent. The rest of the file uses tabs. Fix CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTING THREAT MODEL FOR X86 VIRTUALIZATION (SNP/TDX). Given the prevalence of using tabs some scripts (AKA my scripts) assume tabs when parsing. The faulty entry was added in commit 1f597b1a6ec2 ("docs: security: Confidential computing intro and threat model for x86 virtualization") Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Reviewed-by: Carlos Bilbao Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240103160938.1006517-1-kuba@kernel.org

Docs: remove mentions of fdformat from util-linux

2024-01-03T21:25:59+00:00

Since util-linux commit 13b26e3c36d1 ("fdformat: remove command from default build") the fdformat tool is not built anymore by default. As a result it is not packaged anymore by distributions and therefore not usable by users. Instead mention the "mount" command as more likely to be present alternative. Also drop the reference to fdformat from the list of features of new versions of util-linux.

We know the macro DEBUG will make pr_debug() save the formatted string into final binary. But the translation in chinese gives a opposite meaning.

Documentation: move driver-api/dcdbas to userspace-api/

This file documents a sysfs interface that is intended for systems management software. It does NOT document any kind of kernel driver API.
