Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / util: cast data to u64 before shifting to fix sign extension
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 15:08:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458313681-24239-1-git-send-email-colin.king@canonical.com> (raw)
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
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
