2010-03-12Documentation/vm/: split txt and source filesRandy Dunlap
Documentation/vm/: Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/ directory in their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files. This should help to prevent bitrot. This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible. Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if they should be removed. Also build the recently-added map_hugetlb.c. Make several functions static to prevent linker warnings.

2009-04-13mm: add documentation describing what tsk->active_mm means vs tsk->mmMichael Ellerman
I'm sure everyone knows this, but I didn't, so I googled it, and found a nice explanation from Linus. Might be worth sticking in Documentation.
