[PATCH] x86, boot: fix warning on 32-bit builds

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Oct 01 2014 - 14:36:39 EST


Building 32-bit threw a warning on kASLR enabled builds:

arch/x86/boot/compressed/aslr.c: In function âmem_avoid_overlapâ:
arch/x86/boot/compressed/aslr.c:198:17: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
avoid.start = (u64)ptr;
^

This fixes the warning; unsigned long should have been used here.
