Subject: [PATCH] proc: fix documentation for /proc/stat, line "intr"
Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2014 17:29:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1398180580-8089-1-git-send-email-mq@suse.cz> (raw)

The sum at the beginning of line "intr" includes also unnumbered interrupts.
It implies that the sum at the beginning isn't the sum of the remainder of the
line, not even an estimation.

Fixed the documentation to mention that.
