Subject: [PATCH v5] m68k: Fix atari mouse movement
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 12:23:36 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021022336.2232886-1-miro.kropacek@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021000338.2160223-1-miro.kropacek@gmail.com>

Kernels are built with -funsigned-char since version 6.2, resulting in
the signed 8-bit position deltas reported by the IKBD being
misinterpreted as unsigned.

The hook is handed a raw IKBD packet, so take it as a byte stream and
apply the sign to the two displacement values alone.

Fixes: 3bc753c06dd02a35 ("kbuild: treat char as always unsigned")
Link: https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2026/08/msg00000.html

Changes in v5:

- take the packet as u8 * and cast only the two displacement values,
  as suggested; this drops the call-site cast v4 needed, and with it
  the -Wpointer-sign warning
- add the types include atarikb.h now relies on

The same cast of the two displacement values was tested on an Atari
Falcon030 with CT60 in v1 of this patch; v5 differs from it only in the
type of the hook argument.

Michael's Reviewed-by from v3 is dropped, as the approach has changed
twice since.
