[PATCH] tools intel-speed-select: Fix signed shift UB in BIT() macro
Posted by liujing 3 weeks, 1 day ago
From: Liu Jing <liujing@cmss.chinamobile.com>

The BIT() macro is defined as `(1 << (x))` with a signed integer 1.
When x >= 31, this causes signed integer overflow which is undefined
behavior in C. This macro is used with BIT(31) in isst-core.c and
isst-core-mbox.c.

Fix it by using `1U` instead of `1` to perform an unsigned shift,
matching the kernel's own BIT() definition which uses unsigned.
