Subject: [PATCH] x86: make DR6_RESERVED/DR_CONTROL_RESERVED unsigned long
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2013 20:21:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131119192145.GA8604@redhat.com> (raw)
DR6_RESERVED and DR_CONTROL_RESERVED are used to clear the unwanted
bits in the "unsigned long" data, but "ulong &= ~int" also clears the
upper bits that are not specified in mask.
This is actually fine, dr6[32:63] are reserved, but this is not clear
so it would be better to make them "unsigned long" to cleanup the code.
However, depending on sizeof(long), DR6_RESERVED should be either
0xFFFF0FF0 or 0xFFFFFFFF_FFFF0FF0, so this patch redefines them as
(~ 32_bit_mask UL) to avoid ifdef's.
