Subject: [PATCH v2] hwmon: (applesmc) fix UB and udelay overflow

Fixes the following 2 issues in the driver:
1. Left shifting a signed integer is undefined behavior. Unsigned
integral types should be used for bitwise operations.
2. The delay scales from 0x0010 to 0x20000 by powers of 2, but udelay
will result in a linkage failure when given a constant that's greater
than 20000 (0x4E20). Agressive loop unrolling can fully unroll the
loop, resulting in later iterations overflowing the call to udelay.

2 is fixed via splitting the loop in two, iterating the first up to the
point where udelay would overflow, then switching to mdelay, as
suggested in Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst.

Changes V1 -> V2:
* The first loop in send_byte() needs to break out on the same condition
now. Technically, the loop condition could even be removed. The diff
looks funny because of the duplicated logic between existing and newly
added for loops.

This resolves the __bad_udelay appearance at -O3 for me. I am not
familiar enough with this code to give a reviewed by though!

Also, for some odd reason, I couldn't apply your patch with 'git apply':

% curl -LSs https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/raw | git apply
error: corrupt patch at line 117

It looks like some of the '=' got changed into =3D and some spaces got
changed into =20. Weird encoding glitch?

Nathan

Given that this could have real implications for the hardware, I would
think tested by would imply running this on said hardware. FWIW:

Yes, appears git send-email related because your attached patch applies
just fine.

The text in my email client shows no encoding error; the link above

I spent quite some time to rewrite applesmc but I couldn't finish.

Thanks for the loop fix. I did my reviewing part, if that matters.

That is a delay()-internal dependency, and completely undocumented. This code
will fall apart if the implementation of udelay() is ever changed. This
also depends on the architecture - in some cases, mdelay() is implemented
as udelay(n * 1000).

This is not really a problem in this driver; it is a system problem.
Anyone can call udelay() with a parameter longer than 20,000 us.
We can't add code like this all over the place because the implementation
of delay() is broken.

Besides, calling delay() with a parameter of 20,000 or more is a strong
indication that something is really wrong with the code. More on that
see below.

Shouldn't that be us / 1000 ? Seems to me the above will wait for
at least 20000 ms, which is a a tiny bit long.

Also, mdelay(n) is by default implemented as udelay(n * 1000).

Also, at the very least, this should be something like

if (us < limit)
delay(us);
else
mdelay(us / 1000);

instead of introducing a second loop. But more on that below.

Again, I fail to understand why waiting for a multiple of 20 seconds
under any circumstances would make any sense. Maybe the idea was
to divide us by 1000 before entering the second loop ?

Looking into the code, there is no need to use udelay() in the first
place. It should be possible to replace the longer waits with
usleep_range(). Something like

if (us < some_low_value) // eg. 0x80
delay(us)
else
usleep_range(us, us * 2);

should do, and at the same time prevent the system from turning
into a space heater.

Thanks,

Yes, that's very clearly a mistake of mine.

Did you mean udelay here?

The issue would persist with the above if udelay remains in a loop
that gets fully unrolled. That's while I "peel" the loop into two
loops over different ranges with different bodies.

I think I should iterate in the first loop until the number of `us` is
greater than 1000 (us per ms)(which is less of a magical constant and
doesn't expose internal implementation details of udelay), then start
the second loop (dividing us by 1000). What do you think, Guenter?

Sorry, you lost me. If calls to udelay() with even small delay
parameters for some compiler-related reason no longer work, trying
to fix the problem with some odd driver code is most definitely not
a real solution.

We should have no second loop, period.

Again, a hot delay loop of 128 ms (actually, more like 245 ms,
adding all delays together) is clearly wrong. Those udelay() calls
in the driver should really be replaced with usleep_range().
