[PATCH 02/18] KVM: Fix overflow bug in overflow detection code

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Thu Apr 26 2007 - 05:22:50 EST


From: Eric Sesterhenn / Snakebyte <snakebyte@xxxxxx>

The expression

sp - 6 < sp

where sp is a u16 is undefined in C since 'sp - 6' is promoted to int,
and signed overflow is undefined in C. gcc 4.2 actually warns about it.
Replace with a simpler test.
