Waiman Long b90976941e locking/lockdep: Fix buffer overrun problem in stack_trace[]
commit d91f3057263ceb691ef527e71b41a56b17f6c869 upstream.

If the lockdep code is really running out of the stack_trace entries,
it is likely that buffer overrun can happen and the data immediately
after stack_trace[] will be corrupted.

If there is less than LOCK_TRACE_SIZE_IN_LONGS entries left before
the call to save_trace(), the max_entries computation will leave it
with a very large positive number because of its unsigned nature. The
subsequent call to stack_trace_save() will then corrupt the data after
stack_trace[]. Fix that by changing max_entries to a signed integer
and check for negative value before calling stack_trace_save().

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.
