The patch below does not apply to the 4.15-stable tree.
If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm
tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit
id to <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

Looks like this change is already present in the 4.14.y and 4.15.y trees (as 37dc3e6c117e and 5fa82723fa1b respectively) by virtue of the explicit security series backports, so all seems good.

Robin.


thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] arm/arm64: smccc: Make function identifiers an unsigned
  quantity

Function identifiers are a 32bit, unsigned quantity. But we never
tell so to the compiler, resulting in the following:

  4ac:   b26187e0        mov     x0, #0xffffffff80000001

We thus rely on the firmware narrowing it for us, which is not
always a reasonable expectation.
