Nick Desaulniers 82cd588052 arm64: avoid overflow in VA_START and PAGE_OFFSET
The bitmask used to define these values produces overflow, as seen by
this compiler warning:

arch/arm64/kernel/head.S:47:8: warning:
      integer overflow in preprocessor expression
  #elif (PAGE_OFFSET & 0x1fffff) != 0
         ^~~~~~~~~~~
arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h:52:46: note:
      expanded from macro 'PAGE_OFFSET'
  #define PAGE_OFFSET             (UL(0xffffffffffffffff) << (VA_BITS -
1))
                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ^

It would be preferrable to use GENMASK_ULL() instead, but it's not set
up to be used from assembly (the UL() macro token pastes UL suffixes
when not included in assembly sources).

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.
