[PATCH] Fix docs for fs.suid_dumpable
Sergey Vlasov noticed that there is not kernel.suid_dumpable, but fs.suid_dumpable. How KERN_SETUID_DUMPABLE ended up in fs_table[]? Hell knows... Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

315This value can be used to query and set the core dump mode for setuid
316or otherwise protected/tainted binaries. The modes are
317
3180 - (default) - traditional behaviour. Any process which has changed
319 privilege levels or is execute only will not be dumped
3201 - (debug) - all processes dump core when possible. The core dump is
321 owned by the current user and no security is applied. This is
322 intended for system debugging situations only. Ptrace is unchecked.
3232 - (suidsafe) - any binary which normally would not be dumped is dumped
324 readable by root only. This allows the end user to remove
325 such a dump but not access it directly. For security reasons
326 core dumps in this mode will not overwrite one another or
327 other files. This mode is appropriate when adminstrators are
328 attempting to debug problems in a normal environment.
