James,
I'm not sure how to address this concern. Is there a specific issue like the characters used in the newly added line are problematic in some way? (I think '.' is the only character introduced by this change that I don't currently find in, say, /proc/1/status, but if I create a file called foo.bin and execute it, its status file contains that character.)
In a more general sense, how might this change be problematic in a way that, say fe719888344cc (from 2020-12-15) which added the line "SpeculationIndirectBranch:\t..." was not of similar concern? I've tried to be consistent with the formatting etc. Am I missing something?
Thanks
Andrew
