[PATCH] uaccess: Disallow > INT_MAX copy sizes

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Aug 28 2019 - 13:36:32 EST


As we've done with VFS, string operations, etc, reject usercopy sizes
larger than INT_MAX, which would be nice to have for catching bugs
related to size calculation overflows[1].

This adds 10 bytes to x86_64 defconfig text and 1980 bytes to the data
section:

text data bss dec hex filename
19691167 5134320 1646664 26472151 193eed7 vmlinux.before
19691177 5136300 1646664 26474141 193f69d vmlinux.after
