The semantic of off_t is for file offsets. We mean to use it as an offset from a pointer. We really expect it to fit in a single register, and not use a 64-bit type on 32-bit architectures. Fix runtime issues on ppc32 where the offset is always 0 due to inconsistency between the argument type (off_t -> 64-bit) and type expected by the inline assembler (32-bit).

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.
