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.
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.

Currently we assert that the SCTLR_EL{1,2}_{SET,CLEAR} bits are
self-consistent with an assertion in config_sctlr_el1(). This is a bit
unusual, since config_sctlr_el1() doesn't make use of these definitions,
and is far away from the definitions themselves.
We can use the CPP #error directive to have equivalent assertions in
<asm/sysreg.h>, next to the definitions of the set/clear bits, which is
a bit clearer and simpler.
At the same time, lets fill in the upper 32 bits for both registers in
their respective RES0 definitions. This could be a little nicer with
GENMASK_ULL(63, 32), but this currently lives in <linux/bitops.h>, which
cannot safely be included from assembly, as <asm/sysreg.h> can.
Note the when the preprocessor evaluates an expression for an #if
directive, all signed or unsigned values are treated as intmax_t or
uintmax_t respectively. To avoid ambiguity, we define explicitly define
the mask of all 64 bits.
