imm is defined as a 32-bit signed integer.
{MOV, K, ALU64} says it does "dst = src" (where src is 'imm') and it
does do dst = (s64)imm, which in that sense does sign extend imm. The MOVSX
instruction is explained as sign extending, so added the example of
{MOV, K, ALU64} to make this more clear.
{JLE, K, JMP} says it does "PC += offset if dst <= src" (where src is 'imm',
and the comparison is unsigned). This was apparently ambiguous to some
readers as to whether the comparison was "dst <= (u64)(u32)imm" or
"dst <= (u64)(s64)imm" so added an example to make this more clear.

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 reStructuredText 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.
