Hi, Theodore.

I've got this while booting kernel with ubsan:

[ 0.000000] ================================================================================
[ 0.000000] UBSan: Undefined behaviour in ../include/linux/bitops.h:107:33
[ 0.000000] shift exponent 32 is to large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int'
...
[ 0.000000] _mix_pool_bytes (/home/andrew/linux/ubsan_x86//include/linux/bitopsh:107 /home/andrew/linux/ubsan_x86//drivers/char/randomc:509)

So this doesn't make any sense to me. This is triggering here:

w = rol32(*bytes++, input_rotate);

.... but input_rotate should never be >= 32, since it is set this way:


It's triggering when input_rotate == 0, so UBSan complains about right shift in rol32()

static inline __u32 rol32(__u32 word, unsigned int shift)
{
return (word << shift) | (word >> (32 - shift));
}

So that would be the case when the entropy store's input_rotate calls
_mix_pool_bytes() for the very first time ... I don't think it's an
issue though.
