parisc: Fix csum_ipv6_magic on 64-bit systems
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
hppa 64-bit systems calculates the IPv6 checksum using 64-bit add
operations. The last add folds protocol and length fields into the 64-bit
result. While unlikely, this operation can overflow. The overflow can be
triggered with a code sequence such as the following.

	/* try to trigger massive overflows */
	memset(tmp_buf, 0xff, sizeof(struct in6_addr));
	csum_result = csum_ipv6_magic((struct in6_addr *)tmp_buf,
				      (struct in6_addr *)tmp_buf,
				      0xffff, 0xff, 0xffffffff);

Fix the problem by adding any overflows from the final add operation into
the calculated checksum. Fortunately, we can do this without additional
cost by replacing the add operation used to fold the checksum into 32 bit
with "add,dc" to add in the missing carry.
