On x86_64, GCC generates the following instruction to compute
'empty_zero_page - __START_KERNEL_map' (__phys_addr_nodebug(), used in
the implementation of ZERO_PAGE()):
48 ba 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0x0,%rdx
R_X86_64_64 empty_zero_page+0x80000000
__START_KERNEL_map is 0xffffffff80000000.
However, the relocation addend becomes wrong in the patch module:
48 ba 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0x0,%rdx
R_X86_64_64 empty_zero_page-0x80000000
Note the sign of the addend.
As a result, ZERO_PAGE(0) returns a wrong value in any function touched
by the patch, which may lead to memory corruption and difficult-to-debug
kernel crashes.
The cause is that 'struct rela' uses 'int' for the addend, which is not
enough to store such values. r_addend from Elf64_Rela is int64_t
(Elf64_Sxword) for that.
Let us use 'long' instead of 'int' for the addend in 'struct rela'.
v2:
* Moved 'addend' field after 'offset' in struct rela to facilitate
structure packing (suggested by Kamalesh Babulal).
