[PATCH 1/6] x86/KASLR: Handle kernel relocation above 2G

[Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>]

From: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com>

When processing the relocation table, the offset used to calculate the
relocation is an int. This is sufficient for calculating the physical
address of the relocs entry on 32-bit systems and on 64-bit systems when
the relocation is under 2G. To handle relocations above 2G (seen in
situations like kexec, netboot, etc), this offset needs to be calculated
using a long to avoid wrapping and miscalculating the relocation.
