The parsing routines for Kconfig files use strtol(), but store and
render values as int. Switch types and formating to long to support a
wider range of values. For example, 0x80000000 wasn't representable.

0x80000000 does fit in an int. If it's printed as hex, it's treated as unsigned.
Is there a "0" missing, or am I missing something?

Changing all these "int" to "long" only matters on 64-bit platforms.
As kconfig is built on the host, this will cause different behavior when
cross-compiling 64-bit (I assume that's where you need it most) kernels
on a 32-bit or a 64-bit host.

Probably you wanted to use "long long" instead of "long", and switch
to "strtoll()", to make them always 64-bit?

Still, beware using 64-bit config symbols with arithmetic shell operations from
a Makefile, cfr. https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/13/200.

Sorry for only noticing now, after it went into 3.11-rc1.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

0x80000000 is 1 more than INT_MAX, but you're right about the hex
printing. Regardless, it was still being truncated in kconfig
(probably due to signed comparisons). I had to switch the formatting
since the type changed, though.

That's an excellent point; I hadn't considered the cross-compiling
from a 32-bit host.

Yeah, noted. I don't have plans to pass kconfig items through the shell.

Thanks for pointing it out! I don't think there is huge urgency since
nothing is (yet) using > INT_MAX values in kconfig. Regardless, I'll
send a new patch that switches to long long.
