Hi,

Linus recently merged [1] the wrapper functions memdup_array_user() and
vmemdup_array_user() in include/linux/string.h for Kernel v6.7

I am currently adding them to all places where (v)memdup_user() had been
used to copy arrays.

The wrapper is different to the wrapped functions only in that it might
return -EOVERFLOW. So this new error code might get pushed up to
userspace. I hope this is fine.

I felt that it might be a good idea to land those three patches here
with a single series, since they all touch something KVM-related.

Kind regards,
P.

Applied to kvm-x86 generic.  Claudio (or anyone else from s390), holler if
you want to take the s390 patch through the s390 tree.

I massaged the shortlogs to use KVM's standard scopes, and to make it clear
that these are hardening patches, i.e. that there is no unsafe/buggy behavior
that is being fixed.  I also added a note at the end of each changelog to call
out that KVM pre-checks the sizes before copying, again to make it clear that
using the safer helper isn't expected to actually change KVM's behavior.

I think this is fine via your tree.

Feel free to add

to patch 2 if the commit id is not yet final.
