Revision 3af57f78c38131b7a66e2b01e06fdacae01992a3 authored by Heiko Carstens on 17 January 2014, 08:37:15 UTC, committed by David S. Miller on 18 January 2014, 02:54:49 UTC
The s390 bpf jit compiler emits the signed divide instructions "dr" and "d" for unsigned divisions. This can cause problems: the dividend will be zero extended to a 64 bit value and the divisor is the 32 bit signed value as specified A or X accumulator, even though A and X are supposed to be treated as unsigned values. The divide instrunctions will generate an exception if the result cannot be expressed with a 32 bit signed value. This is the case if e.g. the dividend is 0xffffffff and the divisor either 1 or also 0xffffffff (signed: -1). To avoid all these issues simply use unsigned divide instructions.
