i6300esb: Fix signed integer overflow
If the guest programs a sufficiently large timeout value an integer
overflow can occur in i6300esb_restart_timer(). e.g. if the maximum
possible timer preload value of 0xfffff is programmed then we end up with
the calculation:
timeout = get_ticks_per_sec() * (0xfffff << 15) / 33000000;
get_ticks_per_sec() returns 1000000000 (10^9) giving:
10^9 * (0xfffff * 2^15) == 0x1dcd632329b000000 (65 bits)
Obviously the division by 33MHz brings it back under 64-bits, but the
overflow has already occurred.
Since signed integer overflow has undefined behaviour in C, in theory this
could be arbitrarily bad. In practice, the overflowed value wraps around
to something negative, causing the watchdog to immediately expire, killing
the guest, which is still fairly bad.
The bug can be triggered by running a Linux guest, loading the i6300esb
driver with parameter "heartbeat=2046" and opening /dev/watchdog. The
watchdog will trigger as soon as the device is opened.
This patch corrects the problem by using muldiv64(), which effectively
allows a 128-bit intermediate value between the multiplication and
division.
