A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case
8b8e57e509
If, on a 64 bit system, a vCPU ID is provided that has the upper 32 bits
set to a non-zero value, it may get accepted if the truncated to 32 bits
integer value is below KVM_MAX_VCPU_IDS and 'max_vcpus'. This feels very
wrong and triggered the reporting logic of PaX's SIZE_OVERFLOW plugin.
Instead of silently truncating and accepting such values, pass the full
value to kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu() and make the existing limit checks
return an error.
Even if this is a userland ABI breaking change, no sane userland could
have ever relied on that behaviour.
Reported-by: PaX's SIZE_OVERFLOW plugin running on grsecurity's syzkaller

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 reStructuredText 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.
