Subject: Coverity: add_early_randomness(): Integer handling issues
Hello!
This is an experimental semi-automated report about issues detected by
Coverity from a scan of next-20221108 as part of the linux-next scan project:
https://scan.coverity.com/projects/linux-next-weekly-scan
You're getting this email because you were associated with the identified
lines of code (noted below) that were touched by commits:

e0a37003ff0b ("hw_random: use add_hwgenerator_randomness() for early entropy")
Coverity reported the following:
*** CID 1527234: Integer handling issues (SIGN_EXTENSION)
drivers/char/hw_random/core.c:73 in add_early_randomness()
67 int bytes_read;
68
69 mutex_lock(&reading_mutex);
70 bytes_read = rng_get_data(rng, rng_fillbuf, 32, 0);
71 mutex_unlock(&reading_mutex);
72 if (bytes_read > 0) {
vvv CID 1527234: Integer handling issues (SIGN_EXTENSION)
vvv Suspicious implicit sign extension: "rng->quality" with type "unsigned short" (16 bits, unsigned) is promoted in "bytes_read * 8 * rng->quality / 1024" to type "int" (32 bits, signed), then sign-extended to type "unsigned long" (64 bits, unsigned). If "bytes_read * 8 * rng->quality / 1024" is greater than 0x7FFFFFFF, the upper bits of the result will all be 1.
73 size_t entropy = bytes_read * 8 * rng->quality / 1024;
74 add_hwgenerator_randomness(rng_fillbuf, bytes_read, entropy, false);
75 }
76 }

78 static inline void cleanup_rng(struct kref *kref)
If this is a false positive, please let us know so we can mark it as
such, or teach the Coverity rules to be smarter. If not, please make
sure fixes get into linux-next. :) For patches fixing this, please
include these lines (but double-check the "Fixes" first):

Thanks for your attention!
