[PATCH v2 0/5] Alter fcntl to handle int arguments correctly

[Luca Vizzarro]

According to the documentation of fcntl, some commands take an int as
argument. In practice not all of them enforce this behaviour, as they
instead accept a more permissive long and in most cases not even a
range check is performed.

An issue could possibly arise from a combination of the handling of the
varargs in user space and the ABI rules of the target, which may result
in the top bits of an int argument being non-zero.

This issue was originally raised and detailed in the following thread:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-api/Y1%2FDS6uoWP7OSkmd@xxxxxxx/
And was discovered during the porting of Linux to Morello [1].

This series modifies the interested commands so that they explicitly
take an int argument. It also propagates this change down to helper and
related functions as necessary.

This series is also available on my fork at:
  https://git.morello-project.org/Sevenarth/linux/-/commits/fcntl-int-handling-v2

Best regards,
Luca Vizzarro
