[PATCH v2] fs: semihosting: Fixup smh_flen and smh_read against overflow
Andrew Goodbody

Thu Oct 2 16:32:33 CEST 2025
The sys calls SYS_FLEN and SYS_READ were being used in a way that did
not allow for file sizes > 2^31. Fixing this required changing the
signatures of the functions smh_flen and smh_read to allow file
sizes up to 2^32 - 2 and also being able to return errors that could be
tested for.
This issue was found by Smatch.

Changes in v2:
- Fixup smh_flen and smh_read to allow for > 2^31 byte files
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251002-fs_semihosting-v1-1-1124e6becc51@linaro.org
