Sanman Pradhan 357ef14bfd hwmon: (ltc2992) Clamp threshold writes to hardware range
commit d6cc7c99bf upstream.

ltc2992_set_voltage(), ltc2992_set_current(), and ltc2992_set_power()
do not validate the user-supplied value before converting it to a
register value. This can result in:

1. Negative input values wrapping to large positive register values.
   For power, the negative long is implicitly cast to u64 in
   mul_u64_u32_div(), producing an incorrect value. For voltage and
   current, the negative converted value wraps when passed to
   ltc2992_write_reg() as a u32.

2. Intermediate arithmetic exceeding the range representable in u64 on
   64-bit platforms. In ltc2992_set_voltage(), (u64)val * 1000 can
   exceed U64_MAX when val is a large positive long. In
   ltc2992_set_current(), (u64)val * r_sense_uohm can overflow
   similarly. In ltc2992_set_power(), the computed value may not fit
   in u64.

3. Register values exceeding the hardware field width. Voltage and
   current threshold registers are 12-bit (stored left-justified in
   16 bits), and power threshold registers are 24-bit. Without
   clamping, bits above the field width are truncated in
   ltc2992_write_reg().

Fix by clamping negative values to zero, clamping positive values to
the rounded hardware-representable maximum (the value returned by the
read path for a full-scale register) to prevent intermediate overflow,
and clamping the converted register value to the hardware field width
before writing. The existing conversion formula and rounding behavior
are preserved.

In the power write path, cancel the factor of 1000 from both the
numerator (r_sense_uohm * 1000) and the denominator
(VADC_UV_LSB * IADC_NANOV_LSB) to also eliminate a u32 overflow of
r_sense_uohm * 1000 when r_sense_uohm exceeds about 4.29 ohms.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
