Good, it is getting there. Very close to what I had in mind, thanks!

Now, I went and made it a bit more readable and put the commit IDs and
their names on separate lines, like we do in tip:

"These macros were added in commit

86a1c34a929f ("x86_64 syscall audit fast-path").

They were used for sycalls auditing, but this functionality was moved to
the arch/x86/entry/common.c:syscall_trace_enter() in

1f484aa69046 ("x86/entry: Move C entry and exit code to arch/x86/entry/common.c")

syscall_trace_enter() now uses the same defines from <linux/audit.h>,
so these defines are no longer used anywhere in entry_64.S and we may
remove them."

Also, we abbreviate git commits to 12 chars. What you could do is add
this to your .gitconfig:

[alias]
one = show -s --pretty='format:%h (\"%s\")'

and then simply do

$ git one 1f484aa69

and it'll format it properly for ya.

Anyway, just a couple of things to pay attention to in the future.

With this, you can add

Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

to your v3.

Thanks.
