From 28b92e09e25bdc0ae864b22eacf195a74f861389 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Ostrovsky Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 11:11:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86, vdso, time: Cast tv_nsec to u64 for proper shifting in update_vsyscall() With tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec being a 32-bit value on 32-bit systems, (tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift) in update_vsyscall() may lose upper bits or, worse, add them since compiler will do this: (u64)(tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift) instead of ((u64)tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift) So if, for example, tv_nsec is 0x800000 and shift is 8 we will end up with 0xffffffff80000000 instead of 0x80000000. And then we are stuck in the subsequent 'while' loop. We need an explicit cast.
