As requested by Jessica I'm stepping in to help with modules
maintenance. This is my first pull request to you.
I've collected only two patches for modules for the 5.16-rc1 merge
window. These patches are from Shuah Khan as she debugged some corner
case error with modules. The error messages are improved for
elf_validity_check(). While doing this work a corner case fix was
spotted on validate_section_offset() due to a possible overflow bug
on 64-bit. The impact of this fix is low given this just limits
module section headers placed within the 32-bit boundary, and we
obviously don't have insane module sizes. Even if a specially crafted
module is constructed later checks would invalidate the module right
away.
I've let this sit through 0-day testing since October 15th with no
issues found.
