Rename converter parameter to indicate data flow direction: "lvalp" to "u_ptr" indicating a user space parsed value pointer. "valp" to "k_ptr" indicating a kernel storage value pointer. This facilitates the identification of discrepancies between direction (copy to kernel or copy to user space) and the modified variable. This is a preparation commit for when the converter functions are exposed to the rest of the kernel. Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <joel.granados@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
