Sashiko reports the following overflow problems:
In ina2xx_get_value(), the INA2XX_POWER calculation is:
val = regval * data->power_lsb_uW;
The result is returned as a signed 32-bit int. For the INA232 with a common
2mOhm shunt, power_lsb_uW becomes 40,000. When the 16-bit regval exceeds
53,687, the product exceeds INT_MAX. This overflows the 32-bit signed math,
wrapping to a negative integer and reporting erroneous negative power
readings to userspace.
For INA2XX_POWER, the upper bound is clamped:
val = clamp_val(val, 0, UINT_MAX - data->power_lsb_uW);
clamp_val() implicitly casts the upper bound to a 32-bit signed long on
32-bit platforms. This results in a negative number, meaning any valid
power limit is clamped to a negative value and ultimately programmed as 0.
Similarly, for INA2XX_SHUNT_VOLTAGE, the initial clamp uses SHRT_MAX *
shunt_div instead of division. The subsequent multiplication:
val *= data->config->shunt_div;
overflows LONG_MAX on 32-bit platforms for high inputs, wrapping to a
negative value and also programming the hardware limit to 0.
For INA2XX_BUS_VOLTAGE on parts with bus_voltage_shift > 0, the calculation
(val * 1000) << shift can exceed LONG_MAX for limits over ~134V, wrapping
to negative and setting the limit to 0.
For INA2XX_CURRENT:
On 32-bit systems, long is 32-bit signed. For configurations with small
shunts, current_lsb_uA can be very large (e.g., 40,000,000). When
multiplied by a large regval, the product can reach 1.3 trillion, massively
exceeding LONG_MAX (2.14 billion).
This will silently overflow the 32-bit signed math, wrapping to a negative
value.
If a large limit is provided to effectively disable the alert (e.g.,
INT_MAX / 1000), the intermediate value after DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST can be
large (e.g., 200,000,000). When left-shifted by current_shift (e.g., 4 for
INA234), it becomes 3.2 billion, exceeding LONG_MAX and wrapping to a
negative number.
In sy24655_average_power_read(), the accumulator quotient multiplied by
power_lsb_uW can overflow the 32-bit signed math before the assignment.
Have ina2xx_get_value() return a long variable to improve the supported
value range on 64-bit systems and to match the type of values returned
to the hwmon core.
Clamp the result of 'regval * data->power_lsb_uW' to LONG_MAX to fix the
INA2XX_POWER calculation overflow.
Change the initial clamp for INA2XX_SHUNT_VOLTAGE to SHRT_MAX / shunt_div
to fix the shunt limit overflow.
For INA2XX_BUS_VOLTAGE, limit the initial clamp to 130V instead of 200V
to avoid the overflow.
For INA2XX_CURRENT, improve clamping to avoid the overflow.
To address the INA2XX_CURRENT problem in ina226_alert_to_reg(), take
current_shift into acount for the initial clamp to avoid the overflow.
In sy24655_average_power_read, use a temporary 64-bit variable to store
the multiplication result and clamp the result against LONG_MAX.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:
New issues:
- [Low] Build breakage: Using `DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST()` with an `s64` dividend causes a linker error (`undefined reference to '__divdi3'`) on 32-bit platforms.
Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Arithmetic overflow in `ina226_alert_to_reg()` during `DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST` intermediate calculation on 32-bit platforms.

hwmon: (ina2xx) Fix overflow issues
This patch aims to fix multiple overflow issues in the ina2xx driver,
specifically when calculating power, voltage, and current values on 32-bit
platforms. It introduces 64-bit variables and clamped limits to prevent
numbers from wrapping around.

[Severity: Low]
Does this cause a build failure on 32-bit platforms?
The variable val64 is an s64, and DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST relies on the native
division operator. Doing a 64-bit signed division by a non-power-of-2
constant like 1000 typically causes a linker error (undefined reference to
__divdi3) because the kernel does not link against libgcc.
Should this use div_s64() instead?

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but can the intermediate calculation inside
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST overflow the 32-bit signed integer?
The macro internally performs:
(val * 1000) + (data->current_lsb_uA / 2)
On 32-bit systems where long is 32-bit, val * 1000 can be up to
2,147,483,000. If data->current_lsb_uA is large (e.g., 40,000,000 as noted
in the commit message), adding current_lsb_uA / 2 (20,000,000) yields
2,167,483,000.
This exceeds LONG_MAX (2,147,483,647) and silently wraps to a negative
value. Will this result in a large positive limit requested by the user
being incorrectly programmed as a negative limit in hardware?
