+ Interface between kernel and boot loaders on Exynos boards
+ ==========================================================
+
+Author: Krzysztof Kozlowski
+Date : 6 June 2015
+
+The document tries to describe currently used interface between Linux kernel
+and boot loaders on Samsung Exynos based boards. This is not a definition
+of interface but rather a description of existing state, a reference
+for information purpose only.
+
+In the document "boot loader" means any of following: U-boot, proprietary
+SBOOT or any other firmware for ARMv7 and ARMv8 initializing the board before
+executing kernel.

Kmemleak provides a way of detecting possible kernel memory leaks in a
way similar to a tracing garbage collector

reported via /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. A similar method is used by the
Valgrind tool (memcheck --leak-check) to detect the memory leaks in
