Subject: [PATCH] fix bad macro param in timer.c
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6ea24f9ad18c65cc179593b5cc2a88cdadf8cc0c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] fix bad macro param in timer.c

We have

#define INDEX(N) (base->timer_jiffies >> (TVR_BITS + N * TVN_BITS)) & TVN_MASK

and it's used via

	list = varray[i + 1]->vec + (INDEX(i + 1));

So, due to underparenthesisation, this INDEX(i+1) is now a ...  (TVR_BITS + i
+ 1 * TVN_BITS)) ...

So this bugfix changes behaviour.  It worked before by sheer luck:

  "If i was anything but 0, it was broken.  But this was only used by
   s390 and arm.  Since it was for the next interrupt, could that next
   interrupt be a problem (going into the second cascade)? But it was
   probably seldom wrong.  That is, this would fail if the next
   interrupt was in the second cascade, and was wrapped.  Which may
   never of happened.  Also if it did happen, it would have just missed
   the interrupt.

   If an interrupt was missed, and no one was there to miss it, was it
   really missed :-)"
