Commit2f2724630f("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Cope with host using large decrementer mode", 2017-05-22) added code to treat the hypervisor decrementer (HDEC) as a 64-bit value on POWER9 rather than 32-bit. Unfortunately, that commit missed one place where HDEC is treated as a 32-bit value. This fixes it. This bug should not have any user-visible consequences that I can think of, beyond an occasional unnecessary exit to the host kernel. If the hypervisor decrementer has gone negative, then the bottom 32 bits will be negative for about 4 seconds after that, so as long as we get out of the guest within those 4 seconds we won't conclude that the HDEC interrupt is spurious.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
