Kamalesh Babulal a36e2aa905 livepatch: Validate module/old func name length
commit 6e9df95b76 upstream.

livepatch module author can pass module name/old function name with more
than the defined character limit. With obj->name length greater than
MODULE_NAME_LEN, the livepatch module gets loaded but waits forever on
the module specified by obj->name to be loaded. It also populates a /sys
directory with an untruncated object name.

In the case of funcs->old_name length greater then KSYM_NAME_LEN, it
would not match against any of the symbol table entries. Instead loop
through the symbol table comparing them against a nonexisting function,
which can be avoided.

The same issues apply, to misspelled/incorrect names. At least gatekeep
the modules with over the limit string length, by checking for their
length during livepatch module registration.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
