Make @empty have static storage duration (like net/sysctl_net.c does)
to avoid storing a bad pointer, and keep consistent with
__register_sysctl_table @table 'should not be free'd after registration'.

Note that this is _not_ a bug, since size is 0 the pointer will
never get deferenced.

<title>llc: avoid sparse cast-truncates warning in counter clamps</title>

<content type='text'>
llc_conn_ac_inc_npta_value() and llc_conn_ac_inc_tx_win_size()
clamp their counters to the maximum valid 7-bit value via
(u8) ~LLC_2_SEQ_NBR_MODULO. LLC_2_SEQ_NBR_MODULO is defined as
((u8) 128) in include/net/llc_pdu.h, but the (u8) cast does not
prevent integer promotion of the operand of ~: ~128 is computed
as int (0xffffff7f), and the surrounding (u8) cast truncates
back to 0x7f. The result is correct (127), but the implicit
truncation is flagged by sparse:

  net/llc/llc_c_ac.c:1008:38: warning: cast truncates bits from
      constant value (ffffff7f becomes 7f)
  (and three more at lines 1009, 1099, 1100)

Replace the (u8) ~LLC_2_SEQ_NBR_MODULO expression with
LLC_2_SEQ_NBR_MODULO - 1, which evaluates to 127 directly and
silences sparse.

The same ~LLC_2_SEQ_NBR_MODULO pattern also appears in
include/net/llc_pdu.h:148 as part of PDU_GET_NEXT_Vr, but there
the result is immediately &amp;-masked, so the int promotion is
harmless and sparse does not flag it; it is left alone.

This patch is the minimum diff to silence the warning. The
counter-clamp idiom itself could be modernized to
min_t(u8, ..., LLC_2_SEQ_NBR_MODULO - 1), but that is a
separate cleanup left for another patch.

No functional change.

Convert LLC socket's getsockopt implementation to use the new
getsockopt_iter callback with sockopt_t.

Key changes:
- Replace (char __user *optval, int __user *optlen) with sockopt_t *opt
- Use opt-&gt;optlen for buffer length (input) and returned size (output)
- Use copy_to_iter() instead of put_user()/copy_to_user()
- Add linux/uio.h for copy_to_iter()

Given a zero sk_sndtimeo, llc_ui_connect() skips waiting for state
change and returns 0, confusing userspace applications that will assume
the socket is connected, making e.g. getpeername() calls error out.

More specifically, the issue was discovered in libcoap, where
newly-added AF_LLC socket support was behaving differently from AF_INET
connections due to EINPROGRESS handling being skipped.

Set rc to -EINPROGRESS if connect() would not block, akin to AF_INET
sockets.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Difference between sock_i_uid() and sk_uid() is that
after sock_orphan(), sock_i_uid() returns GLOBAL_ROOT_UID
while sk_uid() returns the last cached sk-&gt;sk_uid value.

None of sock_i_uid() callers care about this.

Use sk_uid() which is much faster and inlined.

Note that diag/dump users are calling sock_i_ino() and
can not see the full benefit yet.
