Vlastimil Babka 7418d70862 x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix overflow in l1tf_pfn_limit() on 32bit
commit 9df9516940a61d29aedf4d91b483ca6597e7d480 upstream.

On 32bit PAE kernels on 64bit hardware with enough physical bits,
l1tf_pfn_limit() will overflow unsigned long. This in turn affects
max_swapfile_size() and can lead to swapon returning -EINVAL. This has been
observed in a 32bit guest with 42 bits physical address size, where
max_swapfile_size() overflows exactly to 1 << 32, thus zero, and produces
the following warning to dmesg:

[    6.396845] Truncating oversized swap area, only using 0k out of 2047996k

Fix this by using unsigned long long instead.

Fixes: 377eeaa8e11f ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Limit swap file size to MAX_PA/2")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
