The code was basically like this (assuming size_t can be u64)
var_u64 |= var_u8 << 24
var_u8 is first promoted to i32 and then the shift is done. Next, it is
promoted to u64 by first signextending to 64 bits. This is very unlikely
what was intended. So now it is first forced to u32.
var_u64 |= (u32)var_u8 << 24
This was detected by Coverity, CID 1600792.

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 reStructuredText 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.
