This fixes CVE-2016-0758.
In the ASN.1 decoder, when the length field of an ASN.1 value is extracted,
it isn't validated against the remaining amount of data before being added
to the cursor. With a sufficiently large size indicated, the check:
datalen - dp < 2
may then fail due to integer overflow.
Fix this by checking the length indicated against the amount of remaining
data in both places a definite length is determined.
Whilst we're at it, make the following changes:
(1) Check the maximum size of extended length does not exceed the capacity
of the variable it's being stored in (len) rather than the type that
variable is assumed to be (size_t).
(2) Compare the EOC tag to the symbolic constant ASN1_EOC rather than the
integer 0.
(3) To reduce confusion, move the initialisation of len outside of:
for (len = 0; n > 0; n--) {
since it doesn't have anything to do with the loop counter n.

Recently, we allow to save the stacktrace whose hashed value is 0. It
causes the problem that stackdepot could return 0 even if in success.
User of stackdepot cannot distinguish whether it is success or not so we
need to solve this problem. In this patch, 1 bit are added to handle
and make valid handle none 0 by setting this bit. After that, valid
handle will not be 0 and 0 handle will represent failure correctly.

Do not bail out from depot_save_stack() if the stack trace has zero hash.
Initially depot_save_stack() silently dropped stack traces with zero
hashes, however there's actually no point in reserving this zero value.

These identifiers are bogus. The interested architectures should define

isn't true for some arch, it should be fixed in the arch definition.

Implement the stack depot and provide CONFIG_STACKDEPOT. Stack depot
will allow KASAN store allocation/deallocation stack traces for memory
chunks. The stack traces are stored in a hash table and referenced by
handles which reside in the kasan_alloc_meta and kasan_free_meta
structures in the allocated memory chunks.
IRQ stack traces are cut below the IRQ entry point to avoid unnecessary
duplication.
Right now stackdepot support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Once
KASAN features in SLAB are on par with those in SLUB we can switch SLUB
to stackdepot as well, thus removing the dependency on SLUB stack
bookkeeping, which wastes a lot of memory.
This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: stack depots" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.
Joonsoo has said that he plans to reuse the stackdepot code for the
mm/page_owner.c debugging facility.

This patchset implements SLAB support for KASAN
Unlike SLUB, SLAB doesn't store allocation/deallocation stacks for heap
objects, therefore we reimplement this feature in mm/kasan/stackdepot.c.
The intention is to ultimately switch SLUB to use this implementation as
well, which will save a lot of memory (right now SLUB bloats each object
by 256 bytes to store the allocation/deallocation stacks).
Also neither SLUB nor SLAB delay the reuse of freed memory chunks, which
is necessary for better detection of use-after-free errors. We
introduce memory quarantine (mm/kasan/quarantine.c), which allows
delayed reuse of deallocated memory.
This patch (of 7):
Rename kmalloc_large_oob_right() to kmalloc_pagealloc_oob_right(), as
the test only checks the page allocator functionality. Also reimplement
kmalloc_large_oob_right() so that the test allocates a large enough
chunk of memory that still does not trigger the page allocator fallback.

On parisc and metag the stack grows upwards, so for those we need to
scan the stack downwards in order to calculate how much stack a process
has used.
