[PATCH v2 02/11] LSM: fix documentation for the syslog hook

From: Denis Efremov <hidden>
Date: 2019-02-26 20:50:39
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

The syslog hook was changed in the commit
"capabilities/syslog: open code cap_syslog logic to
fix build failure" (12b3052c3ee8). The argument @from_file
was removed from the hook. This patch updates the
documentation for the syslog hook accordingly.
