Subject: [PATCH 14/20] simplify: Avoid undefined shifts and signed overflow in simplification
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 10:56:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019175633.415493-15-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261019175633.415493-1-bvanassche@acm.org>

Use unsigned long long masks and arithmetic with sign_bit() and
bits_mask() in eval_op(), simplify_mul_div(), simplify_constant_mask(),
simplify_constant_rightside(), simplify_constant_unop(), and
simplify_cast(), guard shift counts in eval_op() against 64-bit overflow,
and skip 64-bit mask simplifications in simplify_shift() when insn->size
exceeds 64 bits.

Eliminate undefined host C behavior from signed 64-bit overflow during
constant negation, addition, and subtraction, and from out-of-range
shifts when simplifying 0-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit, or 128-bit integer
instructions.

Fixes: 29946c577c13 ("Do first-approximation constant binop simplification.")
Fixes: 08778dab2167 ("Simplify constant unops")
Fixes: 62cab21fe13b ("add support for __int128")
Fixes: 0b9963941148 ("simplify 'x | ~0' to '~0'")
Fixes: 97e6515a7944 ("unop: add helper eval_unop()")
Fixes: f1252a541ac8 ("simplify '(x * -1)' to '-x'")
Fixes: c68bfab0e487 ("simplify ((x & M) >> S) when (M >> S) == 0")
Fixes: cb4bed63e19e ("simplify ((x & M) << S) when (M << S) == 0")
Fixes: 3a729e93ba9f ("simplify ((x >> S) << S)")
Fixes: 1ed0dfb47362 ("cast: simplify TRUNC + ZEXT to AND")
Fixes: 5da4e09b4701 ("cast: simplify AND(ZEXT(x,M),N)")
Fixes: 780d796a478f ("cast: simplify [ZS]EXT(AND(x,M),N)")
