Subject: [PATCH] bootconfig: Fix negative seeks on 32-bit with LFS enabled
Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:21:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aKHlevxeg6Y7UQrz@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1726 bytes --]
Commit 26dda5769509 "tools/bootconfig: Cleanup bootconfig footer size
calculations" replaced some expressions of type int with the
BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE macro, which expands to an expression of type
size_t, which is unsigned.
On 32-bit architectures with LFS enabled (i.e. off_t is 64-bit), the
seek offset of -BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE now turns into a positive
value.
Fix this by casting the size to off_t before negating it.
Just in case someone changes BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN to have type size_t
later, do the same thing to the seek offset of -BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN.
Fixes: 26dda5769509 ("tools/bootconfig: Cleanup bootconfig footer size calculations")
