The R_AARCH64_PREL16 and R_AARCH64_PREL32 relocations are documented as permitting a range of [-2^15 .. 2^16), resp. [-2^31 .. 2^32). It is also documented that this means we cannot detect overflow in some cases, which is bad. Since we always interpret the targets of these relocations as signed quantities (e.g., in the ksymtab handling code), let's tighten the overflow checks so that targets that are out of range for our signed interpretation of the relocated quantity get flagged.

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.
