[PATCH v4 02/20] x86, kaslr: Fix a bug that relocation can not be handled when kernel is loaded above 2G

From: Baoquan He
Date: Tue Mar 22 2016 - 03:33:00 EST


When process 32 bit relocation tables a local variable 'extended'
is defined to calculate the physical address of relocs entry.
However its type is 'int' which is enough for i386, but not enough
for x86_64. That's why relocation can only be handled under 2G.
Otherwise a overflow will happen and cause system hang.

Here change it to 'long' as 32 bit inverse relocation processing
does, and this change is safe for i386 relocation handling.
