commit 547ce4cfb34c ("switch cmsghdr_from_user_compat_to_kern() to
copy_from_user()") missed one of the places where ucmlen should've been
replaced with cmsg.cmsg_len, now that we are fetching the entire struct
rather than doing it field-by-field.

	As the result, compat sendmsg() with several different-sized cmsg
attached started to fail with EINVAL.  Trivial to fix, fortunately.

now we can do MCAST_MSFILTER in compat -&gt;getsockopt() without
playing silly buggers with copying things back and forth.
We can form a native struct group_filter (sans the variable-length
tail) on stack, pass that + pointer to the tail of original request
to the helper doing the bulk of the work, then do the rest of
copyout - same as the native getsockopt() does.

<title>lift compat definitions of mcast [sg]etsockopt requests into net/compat.h</title>

We want to get rid of compat_mc_[sg]etsockopt() and to have that stuff
handled without compat_alloc_user_space(), extra copying through
userland, etc.  To do that we'll need ipv4 and ipv6 instances of
-&gt;compat_[sg]etsockopt() to manipulate the 32bit variants of mcast
requests, so we need to move the definitions of those out of net/compat.c
and into a public header.

This patch just does a mechanical move to include/net/compat.h

<title>net: cleanly handle kernel vs user buffers for -&gt;msg_control</title>

The msg_control field in struct msghdr can either contain a user
pointer when used with the recvmsg system call, or a kernel pointer
when used with sendmsg.  To complicate things further kernel_recvmsg
can stuff a kernel pointer in and then use set_fs to make the uaccess
helpers accept it.

Replace it with a union of a kernel pointer msg_control field, and
a user pointer msg_control_user one, and allow kernel_recvmsg operate
on a proper kernel pointer using a bitfield to override the normal
choice of a user pointer for recvmsg.

This splits it into two parts, one that imports the message, and one
that imports the iovec. This allows a caller to only do the first part,
and import the iovec manually afterwards.

No functional changes in this patch.

<title>y2038: socket: use __kernel_old_timespec instead of timespec</title>

<content type='text'>
The 'timespec' type definition and helpers like ktime_to_timespec()
or timespec64_to_timespec() should no longer be used in the kernel so
we can remove them and avoid introducing y2038 issues in new code.

Change the socket code that needs to pass a timespec to user space for
backward compatibility to use __kernel_old_timespec instead.  This type
has the same layout but with a clearer defined name.

Slightly reformat tcp_recv_timestamp() for consistency after the removal
of timespec64_to_timespec().

Currently these functions return &lt; 0 on error, and 0 for success.
Change that so that we return &lt; 0 on error, but number of bytes
for success.

Some callers already treat the return value that way, others need a
slight tweak.
