The asmlinkage tag tells gcc that that the function should not expect to find any of its arguments in registers (a common optimization), but only on the CPU's stack. Many kernel functions use the fact, that system_call consumes its first argument, the system call number, and leaves other arguments (which were passed to it in registers) on the stack. All system calls are marked with the asmlinkage tag, so they all look to the stack for arguments.
A double is a floating point type, greater than or equal in size to a float.
In Java, you use the final modifier to prevent a class from having any subclasses.
The native modifier indicates that a method is implemented in platform-dependent code (Not Java Of Course), but often in C. There wont be any questions about how to use native methods for the exam. For now it is enough if you know that native is a modifier (thus a reserved keyword) and that native can be applied only to methods-not classes, not variables, just methods. Note that a native method's body must be a semicolon (;) (like abstract methods), indicating that the implementation is omitted.
Default access modifier is package. So when you want a method or object variable to be visible within a package, you don't have to insert an access modifier. For public, private or protected, you need to metion them in your java code.
There is no such thing as an access specifier in Java. There are access modifiers.The default access modifier if unspecified is to allow access to classes in the current package only, except within an interface where the default is 'public'
Ambiguous Modifier
A misplaced s-iv modifier can lead to confusing or unclear sentences, such as "Running down the street, the bus was missed" where it's unclear who was running. A well-placed s-iv modifier should immediately precede the word it describes to avoid confusion.
