Subject: [PATCH v9 4/6] kasan: Document support on 32-bit powerpc
Date: Wed,  2 Dec 2020 03:16:30 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201201161632.1234753-5-dja@axtens.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201201161632.1234753-1-dja@axtens.net>

KASAN is supported on 32-bit powerpc and the docs should reflect this.

Document s390 support while we're at it.
