Maybe add some #ifdef BITS_PER_LONG == 64 #define sign_extend_long
sign_extend[32/64] stuff to linux/bitops.h and write this as
sign_extend_long(val, type_bit_width(type)-1)? Or do it locally in
lib/ubsan.c so that "git grep" will tell that it's available once the
next potential user comes along.
Btw., ubsan.c is probably compiled without instrumentation, but it would
be a nice touch to avoid UB in the implementation anyway (i.e., the left
shift should be done in the unsigned type, then cast to signed and
right-shifted).
