[ Upstream commit7faa313f05] Commit3962446922("arm64: preempt: Provide our own implementation of asm/preempt.h") extended the preempt count field in struct thread_info to 64 bits, so that it consists of a 32-bit count plus a 32-bit flag indicating whether or not the current task needs rescheduling. Whilst the asm-offsets definition of TSK_TI_PREEMPT was updated to point to this new field, the assembly usage was left untouched meaning that a 32-bit load from TSK_TI_PREEMPT on a big-endian machine actually returns the reschedule flag instead of the count. Whilst we could fix this by pointing TSK_TI_PREEMPT at the count field, we're actually better off reworking the two assembly users so that they operate on the whole 64-bit value in favour of inspecting the thread flags separately in order to determine whether a reschedule is needed.

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.
