* PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architecturesAndrea Righi2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit boundary. For example: u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size); always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB. The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for example): #define PAGE_SHIFT 12 #define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT) #define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1)) ... #define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK) The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary. Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses typeof(addr) for the mask. Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in include/linux/mm.h.

* [ARM] Fix ARM branch relocation rangeKevin Welton2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | Branches in the ARM architecture are restricted to a range of +/- 32MB. However, the code in .../arch/arm/kernel/module.c::apply_relocate() was checking offset against a range of +/- 64MB.

* [ARM] 3205/1: Handle new EABI relocations when loading kernel modules.Daniel Jacobowitz2005-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz Handle new EABI relocations when loading kernel modules. This is necessary for CONFIG_AEABI kernels, and also for some broken (since fixed) old ABI toolchains.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
