Robin Murphy 9085b34d0e arm64: uaccess: Formalise types for access_ok()
In converting __range_ok() into a static inline, I inadvertently made
it more type-safe, but without considering the ordering of the relevant
conversions. This leads to quite a lot of Sparse noise about the fact
that we use __chk_user_ptr() after addr has already been converted from
a user pointer to an unsigned long.

Rather than just adding another cast for the sake of shutting Sparse up,
it seems reasonable to rework the types to make logical sense (although
the resulting codegen for __range_ok() remains identical). The only
callers this affects directly are our compat traps where the inferred
"user-pointer-ness" of a register value now warrants explicit casting.

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.
