From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> obj->buffer.pointer[i] should be cast to u64 to prevent an unintentional sign extension. For example, if pointer[7] is 0x80, then the value 0xffffffffff000000 is or'd into mask rather than the intended value 0xff00000000000000 Detected with static analysis by CoverityScan Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/acpi/utils.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/utils.c b/drivers/acpi/utils.c index f12a724..050673f 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/utils.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/utils.c @@ -692,7 +692,7 @@ bool acpi_check_dsm(acpi_handle handle, const u8 *uuid, int rev, u64 funcs) mask = obj->integer.value; else if (obj->type == ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER) for (i = 0; i < obj->buffer.length && i < 8; i++) - mask |= (((u8)obj->buffer.pointer[i]) << (i * 8)); + mask |= (((u64)obj->buffer.pointer[i]) << (i * 8)); ACPI_FREE(obj); /* -- 2.7.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
