I'm not sure what "potentially access" here means: I think what you want to say is that userspace can pass garbage in the top half, but you should be clearer about what you mean here. Also, you shouldn't use "deloused" here, since it's not a term that's defined elsewhere in the kernel, even though it's been used colloquially on LKML. Provide an actual implementation definition, like "have their top 32 bits zeroed".
+AARCH64/ILP32 provides next types turned to 64-bit (comparing to AARCH32):
What does "turned" mean here? And I "next types" isn't standard English; you want to say something like "the following types". Likewise later with "next syscalls". -- Chris Metcalf, Mellanox Technologies http://www.mellanox.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
