    printk: Adjust mapping for 32bit seq macros · 418ec196
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored
    Note: This change only applies to 32bit architectures. On 64bit
          architectures the macros are NOPs.
    
    __ulseq_to_u64seq() computes the upper 32 bits of the passed
    argument value (@ulseq). The upper bits are derived from a base
    value (@rb_next_seq) in a way that assumes @ulseq represents a
    64bit number that is less than or equal to @rb_next_seq.
    
    Until now this mapping has been correct for all call sites. However,
    in a follow-up commit, values of @ulseq will be passed in that are
    higher than the base value. This requires a change to how the 32bit
    value is mapped to a 64bit sequence number.
    
    Rather than mapping @ulseq such that the base value is the end of a
    32bit block, map @ulseq such that the base value is in the middle of
    a 32bit block. This allows supporting 31 bits before and after the
    base value, which is deemed acceptable for the console sequence
    number during runtime.
    
    Here is an example to illustrate the previous and new mappings.
    
    For a base value (@rb_next_seq) of 2 2000 0000...
    
    Before this change the range of possible return values was:
    
    1 2000 0001 to 2 2000 0000
    
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(1fff ffff) => 2 1fff ffff
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0000) => 2 2000 0000
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0001) => 1 2000 0001
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(9fff ffff) => 1 9fff ffff
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0000) => 1 a000 0000
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0001) => 1 a000 0001
    
    After this change the range of possible return values are:
    
    1 a000 0001 to 2 a000 0000
    
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(1fff ffff) => 2 1fff ffff
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0000) => 2 2000 0000
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0001) => 2 2000 0001
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(9fff ffff) => 2 9fff ffff
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0000) => 2 a000 0000
    __ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0001) => 1 a000 0001
