Linus,
Following from previous patch which introduced PAGE_ALIGN_LL, this
one fixes a bug in fs/binfmt_aout.c which was using PAGE_ALIGN
on 64-bit values... It now uses PAGE_ALIGN_LL.
Patch together with the other two patches available from:
bk pull http://linux-ntfs.bkbits.net/linux-2.5-pm
Best regards,
Anton

Huh?
All virtual addresses on 32bit platforms are 32bit, as are all lengths
of address space.
Unless you are running a 32bit kernel with a 64bit user space,
which is simply crazy, unless you are stuck doing it that way.

I thought (intel) CPUs did 48-bit addressing? How do we support 32GiB of
RAM? With pure 32-bit addressing it would be limited to 4GiB only... No?
(Of course I am probably confusing varius types of addresses...)

The code is still broken. The values ARE 64-bit (check the struct
definitions if you don't believe me). This is just a matter of correctness.
It is incorrect as it is right now and it will do Bad Things(tm) if the
supplied values are > 32-bit. (Whether it is possible for a malicious user
to supply them is beyond my knowledge.)
Best regards,
Anton

P6+ support 36bit _physical_ addressing.

Hammers and Alphas have 48bit virtual and 40bit physical, in the
current implementations. The most common 48bit address though is that
ide recently moved from 28bit sector addresses to 48bit sector addresses.

I just did. The values are per arch, but at least for X86 the values are
unsigned int. Which is 32bits..

Ooops! Sorry! I appologise! This was my bad. For Alpha they are __u64 and I
misguidedly looked at Alpha instead of i386. (darn ctags...) But of course
on Alpha long is 64-bits so the issue is moot...
So yes, this patch is definitely bogus. (Well it just would make no
difference whatsoever.)
