Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 5cc41e0995 fs/binfmt_misc.c: do not allow offset overflow
WHen registering a new binfmt_misc handler, it is possible to overflow
the offset to get a negative value, which might crash the system, or
possibly leak kernel data.

Here is a crash log when 2500000000 was used as an offset:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff989cfd6edca0
  IP: load_misc_binary+0x22b/0x470 [binfmt_misc]

  RIP: 0010:load_misc_binary+0x22b/0x470 [binfmt_misc]
  Call Trace:

    do_syscall_64+0x73/0x130
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

Use kstrtoint instead of simple_strtoul.  It will work as the code
already set the delimiter byte to '\0' and we only do it when the field
is not empty.

Tested with offsets -1, 2500000000, UINT_MAX and INT_MAX.  Also tested
with examples documented at Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst
and other registrations from packages on Ubuntu.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
