Pull clone3 fix from Christian Brauner: "This is a last-minute bugfix for clone3() that should go in before we release 5.3 with clone3(). clone3() did not verify that the exit_signal argument was set to a valid signal. This can be used to cause a crash by specifying a signal greater than NSIG. e.g. -1. The commit from Eugene adds a check to copy_clone_args_from_user() to verify that the exit signal is limited by CSIGNAL as with legacy clone() and that the signal is valid. With this we don't get the legacy clone behavior were an invalid signal could be handed down and would only be detected and then ignored in do_notify_parent(). Users of clone3() will now get a proper error right when they pass an invalid exit signal. Note, that this is not a change in user-visible behavior since no kernel with clone3() has been released yet" * tag 'for-linus-20190912' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: fork: block invalid exit signals with clone3()
