What is the exact difference between linearly separable and non-linarly separable data points?

Does the separating boundary of a given set of points have to be a straight line (or a flat hyperplane)?

The image below seems to be clearly linearly separable.

The other one here (the classic XOR) is certainly non-linearly separable. enter image description here

But how about these two?

Both of them seems to be separable by a single line, though not straight. Are they linearly separable?
