("arm64/module: deal with ambiguity in PRELxx relocation ranges")
updated the overflow checking logic in the relocation handling code to
ensure that PREL16/32 relocations don't overflow signed quantities.
However, the same code path is used for absolute relocations, where the
interpretation is the opposite: the only current use case for absolute
relocations operating on non-native word size quantities is the CRC32
handling in the CONFIG_MODVERSIONS code, and these CRCs are unsigned
32-bit quantities, which are now being rejected by the module loader
if bit 31 happens to be set.
So let's use different ranges for quanties subject to absolute vs.
relative relocations:
- ABS16/32 relocations should be in the range [0, Uxx_MAX)
- PREL16/32 relocations should be in the range [Sxx_MIN, Sxx_MAX)
- otherwise, print an error since no other 16 or 32 bit wide data
relocations are currently supported.

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.
