5933048c69 module: cleanup FIXME comments about trimming exception table entries.
Everyone cut and paste this comment from my original one.  We now do
it generically, so cut the comments.

27ac792ca0 PAGE_ALIGN(): correctly handle 64-bit values on 32-bit architectures
On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:

	u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);

always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.

The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):

#define PAGE_SHIFT      12
#define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr)       (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)

The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.

Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

656be92f9a [MIPS] Load modules to CKSEG0 if CONFIG_BUILD_ELF64=n
This is a patch to load 64-bit modules to CKSEG0 so that can be
compiled with -msym32 option.  This makes each module ~10% smaller.

* introduce MODULE_START and MODULE_END
* custom module_alloc()
* PGD for modules
* change XTLB refill handler synthesizer
* enable -msym32 for modules again
  (revert ca78b1a5c6a6e70e052d3ea253828e49b5d07c8a)

New XTLB refill handler looks like this:

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
