[PATCH 6/6] docs: Downgrade arm64 & riscv from titles to comment

Joel Granados joel.granados at kernel.org
Tue Jul 1 01:56:47 PDT 2025


Remove the title string ("====") from under arm64 & riscv and move them
to a commment under the perf_user_access sysctl. They are explanations,
*not* sysctls themselves

This effectively removes these two strings from appearing as not
implemented when the check-sysctl-docs script is run
