Although we've had signed values for some features such as PMUv3 and FP, the code that handles the comparaison with some limit has a couple of annoying issues: - the min_field_value is always unsigned, meaning that we cannot easily compare it with a negative value - it is not possible to have a range of values, let alone a range of negative values Fix this by: - adding an upper limit to the comparison, defaulting to all bits being set to the maximum positive value - ensuring that the signess of the min and max values are taken into account A ARM64_CPUID_FIELDS_NEG() macro is provided for signed features, but nothing is using it yet.

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.
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.
