Subject: [RFC PATCH] powerpc/64/module: REL32 relocation range check

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2018 21:56:56 +1000

The recent module relocation overflow crash demonstrated that we
have no range checking on REL32 relative relocations. This patch
implements a basic check, the same kernel that previously oopsed
and rebooted now continues with some of these errors when loading
the module:

    module_64: x_tables: REL32 527703503449812 out of range!

Question is whether other relocations (ADDR32, REL16, TOC16, etc.)
should also have overflow checks.
