<title>ARM: 6891/1: prevent heap corruption in OABI semtimedop</title>

<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT is set, the wrapper for semtimedop does not
bound the nsops argument.  A sufficiently large value will cause an
integer overflow in allocation size, followed by copying too much data
into the allocated buffer.  Fix this by restricting nsops to SEMOPM.
Untested.

Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but
aren't.  The list includes:

 (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes
     syscalls and some mount syscalls.

 (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above.

 (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls.

<title>Add generic sys_ipc wrapper</title>

<id>baed7fc9b580bd3fb8252ff1d9b36eaf1f86b670</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.

There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.

Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

Ccoreutils and other have started using fstatat64. Thus, we
need a shim for it if we want to support modern oldabi
userlands (such as Debian/arm/lenny) with EABI kernels.

struct sockaddr_un loses its padding with EABI.  Since the size of the
structure is used as a validation test in unix_mkname(), we need to
change the length argument to 110 whenever it is 112.
