The value of a bitwise expression 1 << (cpu - sdp->mynode->grplo) is subject to overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger data type before performing the bitwise operation. The maximum result of this subtraction is defined by the RCU_FANOUT_LEAF Kconfig option, which on 64-bit systems defaults to 16 (resulting in a maximum shift of 15), but which can be set up as high as 64 (resulting in a maximum shift of 63). A value of 31 can result in sign extension, resulting in 0xffffffff80000000 instead of the desired 0x80000000. A value of 32 or greater triggers undefined behavior per the C standard. This bug has not been known to cause issues because almost all kernels take the default CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF=16. Furthermore, as long as a given compiler gives a deterministic non-zero result for 1<<N for N>=32, the code correctly invokes all SRCU callbacks, albeit wasting CPU time along the way. This commit therefore substitutes the correct 1UL for the buggy 1. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
