lib/clz_ctz.c: Fix __clzdi2() and __ctzdi2() for 32-bit kernels
The gcc compiler translates on some architectures the 64-bit
__builtin_clzll() function to a call to the libgcc function __clzdi2(),
which should take a 64-bit parameter on 32- and 64-bit platforms.
But in the current kernel code, the built-in __clzdi2() function is
defined to operate (wrongly) on 32-bit parameters if BITS_PER_LONG ==
32, thus the return values on 32-bit kernels are in the range from
[0..31] instead of the expected [0..63] range.
This patch fixes the in-kernel functions __clzdi2() and __ctzdi2() to
take a 64-bit parameter on 32-bit kernels as well, thus it makes the
functions identical for 32- and 64-bit kernels.
This bug went unnoticed since kernel 3.11 for over 10 years, and here
are some possible reasons for that:
a) Some architectures have assembly instructions to count the bits and
which are used instead of calling __clzdi2(), e.g. on x86 the bsr
instruction and on ppc cntlz is used. On such architectures the
wrong __clzdi2() implementation isn't used and as such the bug has
no effect and won't be noticed.
b) Some architectures link to libgcc.a, and the in-kernel weak
functions get replaced by the correct 64-bit variants from libgcc.a.
c) __builtin_clzll() and __clzdi2() doesn't seem to be used in many
places in the kernel, and most likely only in uncritical functions,
e.g. when printing hex values via seq_put_hex_ll(). The wrong return
value will still print the correct number, but just in a wrong
formatting (e.g. with too many leading zeroes).
d) 32-bit kernels aren't used that much any longer, so they are less
tested.
A trivial testcase to verify if the currently running 32-bit kernel is
affected by the bug is to look at the output of /proc/self/maps:
Here the kernel uses a correct implementation of __clzdi2():
root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps
00010000-00019000 r-xp 00000000 08:05 787324 /usr/bin/cat
00019000-0001a000 rwxp 00009000 08:05 787324 /usr/bin/cat
0001a000-0003b000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
f7551000-f770d000 r-xp 00000000 08:05 794765 /usr/lib/hppa-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
...
and this kernel uses the broken implementation of __clzdi2():
root@debian:~# cat /proc/self/maps
0000000010000-0000000019000 r-xp 00000000 000000008:000000005 787324 /usr/bin/cat

000000001a000-000000003b000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
