Stephen Bates 36a3d1dd4e lib/genalloc.c: make the avail variable an atomic_long_t
If the amount of resources allocated to a gen_pool exceeds 2^32 then the
avail atomic overflows and this causes problems when clients try and
borrow resources from the pool.  This is only expected to be an issue on
64 bit systems.

Add the <linux/atomic.h> header to pull in atomic_long* operations.  So
that 32 bit systems continue to use atomic32_t but 64 bit systems can
use atomic64_t.

README

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.
