Revision c4e18497d8fd92eef2c6e7eadcc1a107ccd115ea authored by Guenter Roeck on 20 December 2012, 23:05:42 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 21 December 2012, 01:40:20 UTC
Commit 263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.

Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
example, -10 / 5U = 858993457).  The C standard says "If one operand has
unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
the compiler is not to blame.  As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
account.

Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
operation to perform.  This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
Mark the latter case as unsupported.

One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.

Other impact is unpredictable.  Problem is seen if the divisor is an
unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).
