Starting with commit 867a6ac86d ("efi: Add start-up library code"),
sparse constantly complains about truncated constant value in efi.h:
include/efi.h:176:35: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (8000000000000000 becomes 0)
This can get quite noisy, preventing real issues to be noticed:
$ make defconfig
*** Default configuration is based on 'sandbox_defconfig'
$ make C=2 -j12 2>&1 | grep truncates | wc -l
441
After the patch is applied:
$ make C=2 -j12 2>&1 | grep truncates | wc -l
0
$ sparse --version
v0.5.2
Following the suggestion of Heinrich Schuchardt, instead of only
fixing the root-cause, I replaced the whole enum of _SHIFT values
by ULL defines. This matches both the UEFI 2.7 spec and the Linux
kernel implementation.
Some ELF size comparison before and after the patch (gcc 7.3.0):
