Reject userspace memslots whose size exceeds the storage capacity of an
"unsigned long". KVM's uAPI takes the size as u64 to support large slots
on 64-bit hosts, but does not account for the size being truncated on
32-bit hosts in various flows. The access_ok() check on the userspace
virtual address in particular casts the size to "unsigned long" and will
check the wrong number of bytes.
KVM doesn't actually support slots whose size doesn't fit in an "unsigned
long", e.g. KVM's internal kvm_memory_slot.npages is an "unsigned long",
not a "u64", and misc arch specific code follows that behavior.

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.
