printk: Adjust mapping for 32bit seq macros
[ Upstream commit 418ec1961c07d84293cc3cd54d67b90bbeba7feb ]
Note: This change only applies to 32bit architectures. On 64bit
architectures the macros are NOPs.
__ulseq_to_u64seq() computes the upper 32 bits of the passed
argument value (@ulseq). The upper bits are derived from a base
value (@rb_next_seq) in a way that assumes @ulseq represents a
64bit number that is less than or equal to @rb_next_seq.
Until now this mapping has been correct for all call sites. However,
in a follow-up commit, values of @ulseq will be passed in that are
higher than the base value. This requires a change to how the 32bit
value is mapped to a 64bit sequence number.
Rather than mapping @ulseq such that the base value is the end of a
32bit block, map @ulseq such that the base value is in the middle of
a 32bit block. This allows supporting 31 bits before and after the
base value, which is deemed acceptable for the console sequence
number during runtime.
Here is an example to illustrate the previous and new mappings.
For a base value (@rb_next_seq) of 2 2000 0000...
Before this change the range of possible return values was:
1 2000 0001 to 2 2000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(1fff ffff) => 2 1fff ffff
__ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0000) => 2 2000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0001) => 1 2000 0001
__ulseq_to_u64seq(9fff ffff) => 1 9fff ffff
__ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0000) => 1 a000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0001) => 1 a000 0001
After this change the range of possible return values are:
1 a000 0001 to 2 a000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(1fff ffff) => 2 1fff ffff
__ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0000) => 2 2000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0001) => 2 2000 0001
__ulseq_to_u64seq(9fff ffff) => 2 9fff ffff
__ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0000) => 2 a000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0001) => 1 a000 0001
