[PATCH v2] bitops: Fix shift overflow in GENMASK macros

From: Maxime COQUELIN
Date: Tue Nov 04 2014 - 05:05:01 EST


On some 32 bits architectures, including x86, GENMASK(31, 0) returns 0
instead of the expected ~0UL.

This is the same on some 64 bits architectures with GENMASK_ULL(63, 0).

This is due to an overflow in the shift operand, 1 << 32 for GENMASK,
1 << 64 for GENMASK_ULL.
