Callers of sock_sendmsg(), and similarly kernel_sendmsg(), in kernel space may observe their value of msg_name change in cases where BPF sendmsg hooks rewrite the send address. This has been confirmed to break NFS mounts running in UDP mode and has the potential to break other systems. This patch: 1) Creates a new function called __sock_sendmsg() with same logic as the old sock_sendmsg() function. 2) Replaces calls to sock_sendmsg() made by __sys_sendto() and __sys_sendmsg() with __sock_sendmsg() to avoid an unnecessary copy, as these system calls are already protected. 3) Modifies sock_sendmsg() so that it makes a copy of msg_name if present before passing it down the stack to insulate callers from changes to the send address.

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.
