Merge tag 'bootconfig-fixes-v7.3-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull bootconfig fixes from Masami Hiramatsu: "Fix integer overflow and truncation in size checks. - Fix size check bypasses caused by integer overflow and truncation when parsing initrd or standalone bootconfig files, preventing buffer overflow and out-of-bounds writes in the userspace tool. - Fix pointer arithmetic wrap-around in get_boot_config_from_initrd() when handling crafted huge size values, preventing fatal kernel page faults during early boot" * tag 'bootconfig-fixes-v7.3-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: bootconfig: Fix integer overflow in initrd size check tools/bootconfig: Fix integer overflow and truncation in size checks
