Kay Sievers reported that coreutils' stat tool has a problem with s390's statfs[64] definition: > The definition of struct statfs::f_type needs a fix. s390 is the only > architecture in the kernel that uses an int and expects magic > constants lager than INT_MAX to fit into. > > A fix is needed to make Fedora boot on s390, it currently fails to do > so. Userspace does not want to add code to paper-over this issue. [...] > Even coreutils cannot handle it: > #define RAMFS_MAGIC 0x858458f6 > # stat -f -c%t / > ffffffff858458f6 > > #define BTRFS_SUPER_MAGIC 0x9123683E > # stat -f -c%t /mnt > ffffffff9123683e The bug is caused by an implicit sign extension within the stat tool: out_uint_x (pformat, prefix_len, statfsbuf->f_type); where the format finally will be "%lx". A similar problem can be found in the 'tail' tool. s390 is the only architecture which has an int type f_type member in struct statfs[64]. Other architectures have either unsigned ints or long values, so that the problem doesn't occur there. Therefore change the type of the f_type member to unsigned int, so that we get zero extension instead sign extension when assignment to a long value happens.
