lib: Reduce user_access_begin() boundaries in strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user()
commit ab10ae1c3bef56c29bac61e1201c752221b87b41 upstream. The range passed to user_access_begin() by strncpy_from_user() and strnlen_user() starts at 'src' and goes up to the limit of userspace although reads will be limited by the 'count' param. On 32 bits powerpc (book3s/32) access has to be granted for each 256Mbytes segment and the cost increases with the number of segments to unlock. Limit the range with 'count' param. Fixes: 594cc251fdd0 ("make 'user_access_begin()' do 'access_ok()'") Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
