spi: spidev: Convert buf pointers for 32-bit compat SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(n)
The SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(n) ioctl commands' argument points to an array of n struct spi_ioc_transfer elements. The spidev's compat_ioctl handler just converts this pointer and passes it on to the unlocked_ioctl handler to process it. The tx_buf and rx_buf members of struct spi_ioc_transfer are of type __u64 and hold pointer values. A 32-bit userspace application running in a 64-bit kernel might not have widened the 32-bit pointers correctly for the kernel. The application might have sign-extended the pointer to when the kernel expects it to be zero-extended, or vice versa, leading to an -EFAULT being returned by spidev_message() if the widened pointer is invalid. Handle the SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(n) ioctl commands specially in the compat_ioctl handler, calling new function spidev_compat_ioctl_message() to handle them. This processes them in the same way as the unlocked_ioctl handler except that it uses compat_ptr() to convert the tx_buf and rx_buf members of each struct spi_ioc_transfer element. To save code, factor out part of the unlocked_ioctl handler into a new function spidev_get_ioc_message(). This checks the ioctl command code is a valid SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(n), determines n and copies the array of n struct spi_ioc_transfer elements from userspace into dynamically allocated memory, returning either a pointer to the memory, an ERR_PTR(-err) value, or NULL (for SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(0)).
