commit 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef upstream.

The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed
a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user.
Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored
and a warning is printed into the syslog.

commit 436473bc2173499ae274d0f50111d1e355006caf upstream.

hv_kvp_daemon currently does not check whether fread() or fwrite()
succeed.  Add the necessary checks.  Also, remove the incorrect use of
feof() before fread().

commit 6bb22fea25624ab593eee376fa5fb82d1b13f45a upstream.

Linux native exit codes are 8-bit unsigned values.  exit(-1) results
in an exit code of 255, which is usually reserved for shells reporting
'command not found'.  Use the portable value EXIT_FAILURE.  (Not that
this matters much for a daemon.)

commit bcc2c9c3fff859e0eb019fe6fec26f9b8eba795c upstream.

The SuSE security team suggested to use recvfrom instead of recv to be
certain that the connector message is originated from kernel.

<content type='text'>
Now fully support the new KVP messages in the user level daemon. Hyper-V defines
multiple persistent pools to which the host can write/read/modify KVP tuples.
In this patch we implement a file for each specified pool, where the KVP tuples
will be stored in the guest.

Support the newly defined KVP message types. It turns out that the host
pushes a set of standard key value pairs as soon as the guest opens the KVP channel.
Since we cannot handle these tuples until the user level daemon loads up, defer
reading the KVP channel until the user level daemon is launched.
