Dan Carpenter ca641bae6d staging: vc04_services: prevent integer overflow in create_pagelist()
The create_pagelist() "count" parameter comes from the user in
vchiq_ioctl() and it could overflow.  If you look at how create_page()
is called in vchiq_prepare_bulk_data(), then the "size" variable is an
int so it doesn't make sense to allow negatives or larger than INT_MAX.

I don't know this code terribly well, but I believe that typical values
of "count" are typically quite low and I don't think this check will
affect normal valid uses at all.

The "pagelist_size" calculation can also overflow on 32 bit systems, but
not on 64 bit systems.  I have added an integer overflow check for that
as well.

The Raspberry PI doesn't offer the same level of memory protection that
x86 does so these sorts of bugs are probably not super critical to fix.

README

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.
