Elena Reshetova f74370b86e ipc: convert sem_undo_list.refcnt from atomic_t to refcount_t
refcount_t type and corresponding API should be used instead of atomic_t
when the variable is used as a reference counter.  This allows to avoid
accidental refcounter overflows that might lead to use-after-free
situations.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
