[ Upstream commit 7fd982f394c42f25a73fe9dfbf1e6b11fa26b40a ]
elf_validity_check() checks ELF headers for errors and ELF Spec.
compliance and if any of them fail it returns -ENOEXEC from all of
these error paths. Almost all of them don't print any messages.
When elf_validity_check() returns an error, load_module() prints an
error message without error code. It is hard to determine why the
module ELF structure is invalid, even if load_module() prints the
error code which is -ENOEXEC in all of these cases.
Change to print useful error messages from elf_validity_check() to
clearly say what went wrong and why the ELF validity checks failed.
Remove the load_module() error message which is no longer needed.
This patch includes changes to fix build warns on 32-bit platforms:
warning: format '%llu' expects argument of type 'long long unsigned int',
but argument 3 has type 'Elf32_Off' {aka 'unsigned int'}

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.
