Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] edac: fsl_ddr_edac: fix expected data message

When a correctable single bit error occurs, the driver calculates the
bad_data_bit respectively the bad_ecc_bit. If there is no error in the
corresponding data, the value becomes -1. With this the expected data
message is calculated.

In the case of an error in the lower 32 bits or no error (-1) the right
side operand of the bit-shift becomes negative which is undefined
behavior.

This can result in wrong and misleading messages like this:
[ 311.103794] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Faulty Data bit: 36
[ 311.108490] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Expected Data / ECC: 0xffffffef_ffffffff / 0x80000059
[ 311.116135] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Captured Data / ECC: 0xffffffff_ffffffef / 0x59

Fix this by only calculating the expected data where the error occurred.

With the fix the dmesg output looks like this:
[ 311.103794] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Faulty Data bit: 36
[ 311.108490] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Expected Data / ECC: 0xffffffef_ffffffef / 0x59
[ 311.116135] EDAC FSL_DDR MC0: Captured Data / ECC: 0xffffffff_ffffffef / 0x59

But if bad_data_bit is -1, this check above will hit and you'd still
shift by -1, IINM.

How about you fix it properly, clean it up and make it more readable in
the process (pasting the code directly instead of a diff because a diff
is less readable):

if ((err_detect & DDR_EDE_SBE) && (bus_width == 64)) {
sbe_ecc_decode(cap_high, cap_low, syndrome,
&bad_data_bit, &bad_ecc_bit);

if (bad_data_bit != -1) {
if (bad_data_bit > 31)
cap_high ^= 1 << (bad_data_bit - 32);
else
cap_low ^= 1 << bad_data_bit;

fsl_mc_printk(mci, KERN_ERR, "Faulty Data bit: %d\n", bad_data_bit);
fsl_mc_printk(mci, KERN_ERR, "Expected Data: %#8.8x_%08x\n",
cap_high, cap_low);
}

if (bad_ecc_bit != -1) {
fsl_mc_printk(mci, KERN_ERR, "Faulty ECC bit: %d\n", bad_ecc_bit);
fsl_mc_printk(mci, KERN_ERR, "Expected ECC: %#2.2x\n",
syndrome ^ (1 << bad_ecc_bit));
}
}

This way you print only when the respective faulty bits have been
properly found and not print anything otherwise.

Hmm?
