Will Deacon 05ba3f1aa1 ipc: compat: use signed size_t types for msgsnd and msgrcv
The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the
message being transferred.  POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than
SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined.  On Linux, this
equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0.

For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t
is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be
interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit
early with -EINVAL.

This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the
message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the
native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.
