Subject: [RESEND PATCH v4 09/11] perf/cxl: Validate the hardware-reported counter width
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 08:59:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805155911.1304807-10-dave.jiang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805155911.1304807-1-dave.jiang@intel.com>
cxl_pmu_parse_caps() takes the Counter Width straight from the CPMU
Capability register without a bounds check. The Counter Data register is 64
bits wide, so a device reporting 0 or more than 64 is reporting nonsense,
and GENMASK_ULL(width - 1, 0) in the read path then shifts out of range.
That is undefined behaviour, and a UBSAN splat where it is enabled.
Reject a counter width outside 1..64 at probe.
Fixes: 5d7107c72796 ("perf: CXL Performance Monitoring Unit driver")
Reported-by: sashiko-bot@kernel.org
Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260715191454.459673-1-dave@stgolabs.net?part=1
