    KVM: arm/arm64: check IRQ number on userland injection · fd1d0ddf

    When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
    only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
    to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
    actually be smaller (64).
    So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
    range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
    I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
    mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
    -----------------
    ....
    DEBUG: kvm_vgic_inject_irq(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
    DEBUG: vgic_update_irq_pending(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
    DEBUG: IRQ #114 still in the game, writing to bytemap now...
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

    .....
    
    So this patch fixes this by checking the SPI number against the
    actual limit. Also we remove the former legacy hard limit of
    127 in the ioctl code.
