Fix crc32c-pcl-intel-asm_64.S to access 32-bit arguments as 32-bit values instead of 64-bit, since the upper bits of the corresponding 64-bit registers are not guaranteed to be zero. Also update the type of the length argument to be unsigned int rather than int, as the assembly code treats it as unsigned. Note: there haven't been any reports of this bug actually causing incorrect behavior. Neither gcc nor clang guarantee zero-extension to 64 bits, but zero-extension is likely to happen in practice because most instructions that operate on 32-bit registers zero-extend to 64 bits.

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.
