Subject: [kernel-hardening] RE: [RFC PATCH 01/13] Add architecture independent hardened atomic base
Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2016 07:23:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2236FBA76BA1254E88B949DDB74E612B41BDAC98@IRSMSX102.ger.corp.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: CAEXv5_h55L8UyYpFy6qQUPBqGfxOOR+DEXywbNVkBb89a336UQ@mail.gmail.com

>I start to believe that we have a mismatch of terms here. 
>Strictly speaking underflow is not defined for non-floating point numbers, so since we are dealing here with ints and longs, when both of them approach zero and then wrap around, it is treated as overflow (just in a different direction than when it approaches LONG_MAX or LONG_MIN).  

Correction: " when both of them approach INT_MIN and LONG_MIN (I am constantly making this mistake when explaining this, my brain doesn't like signed integers) and then wrap around ".
