[ Upstream commit fb7bc9204095090731430c8921f9e629740c110a ] Add a check that the user-provided option is at least as long as the number of bytes we intend to read. Before this patch we would blindly read sizeof(int) bytes even in cases where the user passed optlen<sizeof(int), which would potentially read garbage or fault. Discovered by new tests in https://github.com/google/gvisor/pull/6957 . The original get_user call predates history in the git repo.

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.
