commit e4c3e133294c0a292d21073899b05ebf530169bd upstream. The ceiling value isn't checked before writing it into registers. The user could write a value higher than the counter resolution (e.g. 16 or 32 bits indicated by max_arr). This makes most significant bits to be truncated. Fix it by checking the max_arr to report a range error [1] to the user.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
