This commit adds table_size to register_sysctl in preparation for the
removal of the sentinel elements in the ctl_table arrays (last empty
markers). And though we do *not* remove any sentinels in this commit, we
set things up by either passing the table_size explicitly or using
ARRAY_SIZE on the ctl_table arrays.

We replace the register_syctl function with a macro that will add the
ARRAY_SIZE to the new register_sysctl_sz function. In this way the
callers that are already using an array of ctl_table structs do not
change. For the callers that pass a ctl_table array pointer, we pass the
table_size to register_sysctl_sz instead of the macro.

<title>sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table</title>

We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.

We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.

The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

<title>ucounts: Split rlimit and ucount values and max values</title>

<content type='text'>
Since the semantics of maximum rlimit values are different, it would be
better not to mix ucount and rlimit values. This will prevent the error
of using inc_count/dec_ucount for rlimit parameters.

This patch also renames the functions to emphasize the lack of
connection between rlimit and ucount.

v3:
- Fix BUG:KASAN:use-after-free_in_dec_ucount.

v2:
- Fix the array-index-out-of-bounds that was found by the lkp project.

While examining is_ucounts_overlimit and reading the various messages
I realized that is_ucounts_overlimit fails to deal with counts that
may have wrapped.

Being wrapped should be a transitory state for counts and they should
never be wrapped for long, but it can happen so handle it.

When the ucount code was refactored to create get_ucount it was missed
that some of the contexts in which a rlimit is kept elevated can be
the only reference to the user/ucount in the system.

Ordinary ucount references exist in places that also have a reference
to the user namspace, but in POSIX message queues, the SysV shm code,
and the SIGPENDING code there is no independent user namespace
reference.

Inspection of the the user_namespace show no instance of circular
references between struct ucounts and the user_namespace.  So
hold a reference from struct ucount to i's user_namespace to
resolve this problem.

<title>ucounts: Fix rlimit max values check</title>

<id>59ec71575ab440cd5ca0aa53b2a2985b3639fad4</id>
<content type='text'>
The semantics of the rlimit max values differs from ucounts itself. When
creating a new userns, we store the current rlimit of the process in
ucount_max. Thus, the value of the limit in the parent userns is saved
in the created one.

The problem is that now we are taking the maximum value for counter from
the same userns. So for init_user_ns it will always be RLIM_INFINITY.

To fix the problem we need to check the counter value with the max value
stored in userns.

<title>ucounts: Remove unnecessary test for NULL ucount in get_ucounts</title>

All of the callers of get_ucounts are passeds a non-NULL value so stop
handling a NULL ucounts pointer in get_ucounts.

It is guaranteed that ever valid fully formed cred that is passed to
commit_cred contains a non-NULL ucounts pointer.  This in turn
gurantees that current_ucounts() never returns NULL.

The call of get_ucounts in user_shm_lock is always passed
current_ucounts().

The call of get_ucounts in mqueue_get_inode is always passed
current_ucounts().

The call of get_ucounts in inc_rlmit_get_ucounts is always
passed iter, after iter has been verified to be non-NULL.

current_ucounts().

The call of get_ucounts in prepare_cred is always passed
current_ucounts().

The call of get_ucounts in prepare_kernel_cred is always
passed task-&gt;cred-&gt;ucounts or init_cred-&gt;ucounts which
being on tasks are guaranteed to have a non-NULL ucounts
field.

All of the callers of get_ucounts are passeds a non-NULL value so stop
handling a NULL ucounts pointer in get_ucounts.

It is guaranteed that ever valid fully formed cred that is passed to
commit_cred contains a non-NULL ucounts pointer.  This in turn
gurantees that current_ucounts() never returns NULL.

The call of get_ucounts in user_shm_lock is always passed
current_ucounts().

The call of get_ucounts in mqueue_get_inode is always passed
current_ucounts().

The call of get_ucounts in inc_rlmit_get_ucounts is always
passed iter, after iter has been verified to be non-NULL.

The call of get_ucounts in key_change_session_keyring is always passed
current_ucounts().

The call of get_ucounts in prepare_cred is always passed

In commit fda31c50292a ("signal: avoid double atomic counter
increments for user accounting") Linus made a clever optimization to
how rlimits and the struct user_struct.  Unfortunately that
optimization does not work in the obvious way when moved to nested
rlimits.  The problem is that the last decrement of the per user
namespace per user sigpending counter might also be the last decrement
of the sigpending counter in the parent user namespace as well.  Which
means that simply freeing the leaf ucount in __free_sigqueue is not
enough.

Maintain the optimization and handle the tricky cases by introducing
inc_rlimit_get_ucounts and dec_rlimit_put_ucounts.

By moving the entire optimization into functions that perform all of
the work it becomes possible to ensure that every level is handled
properly.

The new function inc_rlimit_get_ucounts returns 0 on failure to
increment the ucount.  This is different than inc_rlimit_ucounts which
increments the ucounts and returns LONG_MAX if the ucount counter has
exceeded it's maximum or it wrapped (to indicate the counter needs to
decremented).

I wish we had a single user to account all pending signals to across
all of the threads of a process so this complexity was not necessary
