PATCH 1/1 genirq: Generic chip: verify irqs_per_chip <= 32

Most (if not all) code here implicitly assumes that the maximum number of IRQs per chip will be 32, and thus uses 'u32' or 'unsigned long' for many tasks (for example "struct irq_data" declares its 'mask' field as 'u32', and "struct irq_chip_generic" declares its 'installed' field as 'unsigned long')

However, there is no check to verify that irqs_per_chip is <= 32. Hence, calling irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() with a bigger value would result in unexpected results depending on how the 'mask' is accessed later on.
For example, if set_bit() is used on the 'installed' field of "struct irq_chip_generic", it would result in the next field (in this case the 'unused' field) being overwritten, because set_bit() is designed to treat its parameter as a field of bits of arbitrary size organised as "unsigned long" words.

This patch renames irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() to __irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() and creates a macro to replace it. The macro uses MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON to check the irqs_per_chip parameter to stop compilation (if the compiler can resolve the parameter to a constant at compile time) or to warn during run-time, if the parameter given is bigger than 32.

We really do not need examples for the potential wreckage. Your explanation that the code has implict assumptions about the maximum number of interrupts per chip is sufficient. We all know what out of bound access can cause.

This patch renames irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() to __irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() and creates a macro to replace it. The macro uses MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON to check the irqs_per_chip parameter to stop compilation (if the compiler can resolve the parameter to a constant at compile time) or to warn during run-time, if the parameter given is bigger than 32.

There is no point in explaining the implementation in the changelog. It's obvious from the patch itself.

I'll fix that up as well.

Thanks,

Provide a wrapper with a MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON(nrirqs >= 32) to catch such cases.
