Subject: arm64: bpf: fix signedness bug in loading 64-bit immediate

From: Xi Wang <[email protected]>

commit 1e4df6b7208140f3c49f316d33a409d3a161f350 upstream.

Consider "(u64)insn1.imm << 32 | imm" in the arm64 JIT. Since imm is signed 32-bit, it is sign-extended to 64-bit, losing the high 32 bits. The fix is to convert imm to u32 first, which will be zero-extended to u64 implicitly.

Fixes 30d3d94cc3d5 ("arm64: bpf: add 'load 64-bit immediate' instruction")
[will: removed non-arm64 bits and redundant casting]
