Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: unisys: visorbus: address theoretical int overflows

From: Tim Sell <Timothy.Sell@...sys.com>

Add necessary casting to several places where we were doing 32-bit
arithmetic (unsigned) to produce a 64-bit (unsigned long) result, to
prevent the theoretical possibility of a 32-bit overflow during the
arithmetic.

FYI, these are unsigned long:

	ctx->param_bytes
	ctx->allocbytes

These are unsigned int:

	bytes
	phdr->name_offset
	phdr->name_length

Here is the test program demonstrating why we really need the casts:

void main()
{
	unsigned int i;
	unsigned long il;

	printf("sizeof(int) =%dn",sizeof(i));
	printf("sizeof(long)=%dn",sizeof(il));

	i = (unsigned int)((((unsigned long)(1)) << 32) - 1);
	printf("i                     = %un", i);
	il = i+1;
	printf("adding 1 withOUT cast = %lun", il);
	il = (unsigned long)i+1;
	printf("adding 1 WITH    cast = %lun", il);
}
[selltc@mac tmp]$ gcc x.c -o x.out
[selltc@mac tmp]$ ./x.out
sizeof(int) =4
sizeof(long)=8
i                     = 4294967295
adding 1 withOUT cast = 0
adding 1 WITH    cast = 4294967296
