scripts/spelling.txt: add "disble(d)" pattern and fix typo instances

2017-03-10T01:01:09Z

Fix typos and add the following to the scripts/spelling.txt: disble||disable disbled||disabled I kept the TSL2563_INT_DISBLED in /drivers/iio/light/tsl2563.c untouched. The macro is not referenced at all, but this commit is touching only comment blocks just in case.

Improve sparse documentation

2017-02-15T22:09:13Z

Add documentation of -DCONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER. I started to add documentation of -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ as well, but discovered I'm too late; that's now enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

Documentation/sparse: drop __CHECK_ENDIAN__

2016-12-15T22:13:41Z

It's no longer used. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

Documentation/sparse: drop bitwise

2016-12-15T22:13:40Z

We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

Documentation/dev-tools: use code-block with proper language

2016-11-03T10:39:06Z

Now that we don't have automatic syntax highlighting, use the code-block directive with the explicitly selected language, where appropriate. Signed-off-by: Jani Nikula

Add minimal conf.py and moved dev-tools/tools.rst to dev-tools/index.rst makes the dev-tools folder buildable stand-alone. To build only this folder run:: make SPHINXDIRS=dev-tools htmldocs make SPHINXDIRS=dev-tools pdfdocs Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mapping

2016-10-11T22:06:33Z

Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak. The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping: kmemleak_alloc_phys kmemleak_free_part_phys kmemleak_not_leak_phys kmemleak_ignore_phys The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak API.
