[PATCH 0/3] perf: Remove redundant error messages on IRQ request failure

[PATCH 0/3] perf: Remove redundant error messages on IRQ request failure

[Pan Chuang]

devm_request_threaded_irq() and devm_request_any_context_irq()
automatically log detailed error messages on failure via
the devm_request_result() helper, which prints device
name, IRQ number, handler functions, and error code.

Since devm_request_irq() is a static inline wrapper around
devm_request_threaded_irq(), it also benefits from this
automatic logging.

Remove the now-redundant dev_err() and dev_err_probe() calls
in perf drivers that follow these devm_request_*_irq()
functions, as the core now provides more detailed diagnostic
information on failure.

[PATCH 1/3] perf: Remove redundant dev_err()/dev_err_probe()

[Pan Chuang]

Since commit 55b48e23f5c4 ("genirq/devres: Add error handling in
devm_request_*_irq()"), devm_request_irq() automatically logs
detailed error messages on failure. Remove the now-redundant
driver-specific dev_err() and dev_err_probe() calls.

drivers/perf: hisi: Remove redundant dev_err()/dev_err_probe()

This commit removes redundant driver-specific error logs when calling
devm_request_irq(). The core framework automatically handles the error
reporting on failure.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this loop risk writing out of bounds
if the device tree specifies more IRQs than expected?

In hisi_l3c_pmu_init_ext(), the total number of IRQs is fetched with
platform_irq_count(pdev). The code enforces a lower bound but misses an
upper bound check:

    ext_num = platform_irq_count(pdev);
    if (ext_num < L3C_MAX_EXT)
        return -ENODEV;
    hisi_l3c_pmu->ext_num = ext_num - 1;

If a misconfigured device tree provides more IRQs than expected,
hisi_l3c_pmu->ext_num can exceed the fixed size of the ext_base and ext_irq
arrays, which are bound by L3C_MAX_EXT.

The loop iterating up to hisi_l3c_pmu->ext_num would then write out of
bounds into the ext_irq array at the end of this block.

Could we add an upper bound check for ext_num to prevent memory corruption
if too many IRQs are present?

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [Low] The `memrc` variable is no longer used after the removal of the `dev_err()` call, leaving an unused local variable.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The IRQ handler context is freed via kfree() before the devm_request_irq() resource is released, creating a use-after-free vulnerability.
- [High] Missing cleanup of CPU hotplug instance registration when perf_pmu_register() fails, leaving a freed pointer in the global hotplug list.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but since we are modifying the error path
here, can this lead to a use-after-free if a subsequent step fails?

In __ali_drw_pmu_init_irq(), if devm_request_irq() succeeds but a later
function like irq_set_affinity_hint() fails, the code jumps to out_free:

out_free:
        kfree(irq);
        return ERR_PTR(ret);

Since devm_request_irq() uses the IRQF_SHARED flag, another device sharing
this IRQ could trigger an interrupt immediately. If ali_drw_pmu_isr()
executes before the devres cleanup deregisters the handler, will it
dereference the already freed irq pointer?

[Severity: Low]
The patch removes the dev_err() call which was the only reader of the
memrc variable in qcom_l3_cache_pmu_probe(). Does this leave memrc
populated but entirely unused?

Could the code be cleaned up to use devm_platform_ioremap_resource() 
instead of devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() and remove memrc 
completely?

>  	/* Add this instance to the list used by the offline callback */

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this function leak the
CPU hotplug instance if perf_pmu_register() fails later in the probe?

qcom_l3_cache_pmu_probe() registers the instance here:

    ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance(CPUHP_AP_PERF_ARM_QCOM_L3_ONLINE,
                                   &l3pmu->node);

But if perf_pmu_register() fails right after, it returns immediately:

    ret = perf_pmu_register(&l3pmu->pmu, name, -1);
    if (ret < 0) {
        dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Failed to register L3 cache PMU (%d)\n", ret);
        return ret;
    }

Since devres will automatically free the l3pmu struct on probe failure,
will the freed l3pmu->node remain linked in the global list and cause a
use-after-free during subsequent CPU hotplug events?
