put_fifo_with_discard() acts as both producer and consumer on the kfifo:
it calls kfifo_skip() (advances out) and kfifo_put() (advances in) from
the IRQ handler without synchronizing with snoop_file_read(), which also
consumes via kfifo_to_user(). On SMP systems this concurrent access can
leave (in - out) larger than the ring buffer, so __kfifo_to_user()'s clamp
to (in - out) is ineffective and kfifo_copy_to_user() can attempt a
copy_to_user() past the kmalloc-2k backing store:

  usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object
  'kmalloc-2k' (offset 0, size 2049)!
  kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c!
  Call trace:
   usercopy_abort
   __check_heap_object
   __check_object_size
   kfifo_copy_to_user
   __kfifo_to_user
   snoop_file_read
   vfs_read

Serialize kfifo access with a per-channel spinlock shared between the
IRQ handler (producer) and the file reader (consumer).  Annotate @fifo
with __guarded_by(&lock) and opt the driver into context analysis so the
compiler enforces that all fifo access holds the lock.

Andrew,

Thanks for the review.

Changes since v5:
- Annotate @fifo with __guarded_by(&lock) instead of a comment
- Move kfifo_initialized() check inside scoped_guard(spinlock, &chan->lock)
  in put_fifo_with_discard()
- Replace spin_lock_init() with scoped_guard(spinlock_init, &channel->lock)
  around kfifo_alloc() in aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop()
- Enable CONTEXT_ANALYSIS for this driver in drivers/soc/aspeed/Makefile

Dropped Cc: stable — the fix uses cleanup.h/context-analysis idioms absent
from LTS; I'll send adapted backports to stable@ once this is in mainline.

Tested on ast2600-evb (QEMU): clang-22 with CONFIG_WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS=y
shows no context-analysis warnings; PROVE_LOCKING, DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP and
HARDENED_USERCOPY show no splats. Overflow reproduced via a fault-injection
module forcing the post-race (in - out) state (QEMU doesn't model the ARM
ordering that triggers it in the field): unpatched panics, patched returns
cleanly.

Thanks,
Karthikeyan
