Linux kernel source tree

fill_buf's arguments can be improved in multiple ways:
- Multiple functions in fill_buf have start_ptr as one of their
argument which is a bit long and the extra "start" is pretty
obvious when it comes to pointers.
- Some of the functions take end_ptr and others size_t to indicate
the end of the buffer.
- Some arguments meaning buffer size are called just 's'
- mem_flush() takes void * but immediately converts it to char *
Cleanup the parameters to make things simpler and more consistent:
- Rename start_ptr to simply buf as it's shorter.
- Replace end_ptr and s parameters with buf_size and only calculate
end_ptr in the functions that truly use it.
- Make mem_flush() parameters to follow the same convention as the
other functions in fill_buf.
- convert mem_flush() char * to unsigned char *.
While at it, fix also a typo in a comment.

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 Restructured Text 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.
