KDGKBSENT (the getter) needs only 'user_kdgkb->kb_func' from the userspace, i.e. the index. Then it needs a buffer for a local copy of 'kb_string'. KDSKBSENT (the setter) needs a copy up to the length of 'user_kdgkb->kb_string'. That means, we obtain the index before the switch-case and use it in both paths and: 1) allocate full space in the getter case, and 2) copy the string only in the setter case. We do it by strndup_user helper now which was not available when this function was written. Given we copy the two members of 'struct kbsentry' separately, we no longer need a local definition. Hence we need to change all the sizeofs here too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
