So I still think that the other idea Andy gave with putting the handler
in the exception table is much cleaner and straightforward.

Here's a totally untested patch which at least builds here. I think this
approach is much more extensible and simpler for the price of a couple
of KBs of __ex_table size.

On my config (based on an enterprise distro config) the vmlinux
ex_table would grow from 8k to 12k.  There are a handful of modules
that would also see 50% expansion (the size is the first hex field after
the __ex_table):

Linus, Peter, Ingo, Thomas: Can we head this direction? The code is cleaner
and more flexible. Or should we stick with Andy's clever way to squeeze a
couple of "class" bits into the fixup field of the exception table?

I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody.

So I think Borislav's patch has the advantage of being pretty
straightforward and allowing arbitrary fixups, in case we end up
having localized special cases..

I assume that this zero is to save the couple of bytes for the
relocation entry on relocatable kernels?

If so, ...

I would check for zero here, because...

the !handler condition here will never trigger because the offset was
already applied.

Otherwise this looks generally sane.

I didn't want to touch all _ASM_EXTABLE() macro invocations by adding a
third param @handler which is redundant as we know which it is.

Actually, if I do "0 - .", that would overflow the int because current
location is virtual address and that's 64-bit. Or would gas simply
truncate it? Lemme check...

Anyway, what we should do instead is simply

	.long 0

to denote that the @handler is implicit.

Right?

I see.  You could shove the .long ex_handler_default - . into the
macro, but that would indeed bloat the kernel image a bit more
(although not the in-memory size of the kernel).

Agreed.  I just think that your current fixup_ex_handler
implementation needs adjustment if you do it that way.

Right, and as you just mentioned on IRC, there's also sortextable.c
which needs adjusting. So I'll go stare at that code first to try to
figure out what exactly is being done there...

Thanks.
