A signed feature value is truncated to turn to an unsigned value
causing bad state in the system wide infrastructure. This affects
the discovery of FP/ASIMD support on arm64. Fix this by making sure
we cast it properly.

Please note that this patch is only applicable for stable 4.4 tree.
I should have removed the Fixes tag.

Why is it only for 4.4? That needs to be documented really really
really well in the changelog as to why this is a one-off patch, and why
we can't just take the relevant patches that are in Linus's tree
instead.
Please fix up and resend.
thanks,

This was fixed later in v4.6 onwards with commit 28c5dcb22f90113dea
("arm64: Rename cpuid_feature field extract routines") rather inadvertently.

I can resend the patch with the above information included if you like.

As I said, please do, I can not take it otherwise.

A signed feature value is truncated to turn to an unsigned value
causing bad state in the system wide infrastructure. This affects
the discovery of FP/ASIMD support on arm64. Fix this by making sure
we cast it properly.
This was inadvertently fixed upstream in v4.6 onwards with the following :

What prevents us from just taking that commit instead? You did not
document that here at all, which I thought I asked for.
Also, you only need 12 digits for a sha1, 28c5dcb22f90 ("arm64: Rename
cpuid_feature field extract routines") would be just fine :)

Sorry, I missed that part. So, that change introduces helpers to
extract feature fields based on the sign. And it also depends on
commit ff96f7bc7bf6 ("arm64: capabilities: Handle sign of the feature bit")
which introduces "sign" bit for the "capability" list and modifies
the generic capability->matches() helpers to use the hint to switch to the
appropriate helpers.
I could backport parts of the commit 28c5dcb22f90 dropping the bits
that affect the changes mentioned above.

Yea, I understand. Its simply a pain to count the numbers, so I make sure
to pickup something that looks larger than the 12 ;-). I will try to stick
to that :-)

That's ok, does that cause any problems? We always want the original
patch instead of a one-off patch as that way we do not diverge.

Please do, that is always prefered as well, but do the first thing above
if at all possible.

git show -s --abbrev-commit --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"%h (\"%s\")%n"
will give you the correct format. I suggest making it a git alias :)
Or, use:
[core]
abbrev = 12
in your .gitconfig file.
