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.

Our access_ok() simply hands its arguments over to __range_ok(), which implicitly assummes that the addr parameter is 64 bits wide. This isn't necessarily true for compat code, which might pass down a 32-bit address parameter. In these cases, we don't have a guarantee that the address has been zero extended to 64 bits, and the upper bits of the register may contain unknown values, potentially resulting in a suprious failure. Avoid this by explicitly casting the addr parameter to an unsigned long (as is done on other architectures), ensuring that the parameter is widened appropriately.
