splice(2) fails with -EINVAL when called reading on a socket with no splice_read
set in its proto_ops (such as vsock sockets). Switch this to fallbacks to a
generic_file_splice_read instead.

<content type='text'>
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements.  This makes it easier to add further
iterator types.  Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself.  Only the direction is required.

net/sched/cls_api.c has overlapping changes to a call to
nlmsg_parse(), one (from 'net') added rtm_tca_policy instead of NULL
to the 5th argument, and another (from 'net-next') added cb-&gt;extack
instead of NULL to the 6th argument.

net/ipv4/ipmr_base.c is a case of a bug fix in 'net' being done to
code which moved (to mr_table_dump)) in 'net-next'.  Thanks to David
Ahern for the heads up.

<content type='text'>
In ethtool_ioctl(), the ioctl command 'ethcmd' is checked through a switch
statement to see whether it is necessary to pre-process the ethtool
structure, because, as mentioned in the comment, the structure
ethtool_rxnfc is defined with padding. If yes, a user-space buffer 'rxnfc'
is allocated through compat_alloc_user_space(). One thing to note here is
that, if 'ethcmd' is ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL, the size of the buffer 'rxnfc' is
partially determined by 'rule_cnt', which is actually acquired from the
user-space buffer 'compat_rxnfc', i.e., 'compat_rxnfc-&gt;rule_cnt', through
get_user(). After 'rxnfc' is allocated, the data in the original user-space
buffer 'compat_rxnfc' is then copied to 'rxnfc' through copy_in_user(),
including the 'rule_cnt' field. However, after this copy, no check is
re-enforced on 'rxnfc-&gt;rule_cnt'. So it is possible that a malicious user
race to change the value in the 'compat_rxnfc-&gt;rule_cnt' between these two
copies. Through this way, the attacker can bypass the previous check on
'rule_cnt' and inject malicious data. This can cause undefined behavior of
the kernel and introduce potential security risk.

This patch avoids the above issue via copying the value acquired by
get_user() to 'rxnfc-&gt;rule_cn', if 'ethcmd' is ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL.

<title>socket: fix struct ifreq size in compat ioctl</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1cebf8f143c21eb422cd0f4e27ab2ae366eb4d04</id>
<content type='text'>
As reported by Reobert O'Callahan, since Viro's commit to kill
dev_ifsioc() we attempt to copy too much data in compat mode,
which may lead to EFAULT when the 32-bit version of struct ifreq
sits at/near the end of a page boundary, and the next page isn't
mapped.

Fix this by passing the approprate compat/non-compat size to copy
and using that, as before the dev_ifsioc() removal. This works
because only the embedded "struct ifmap" has different size, and
this is only used in SIOCGIFMAP/SIOCSIFMAP which has a different
handler. All other parts of the union are naturally compatible.

This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199469.

This converts the recvmmsg() system call in all its variations to use
'timespec64' internally for its timeout, and have a __kernel_timespec64
argument in the native entry point. This lets us change the type to use
64-bit time_t at a later point while using the 32-bit compat system call
emulation for existing user space.
