Pull copy_struct_from_user() helper from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the copy_struct_from_user() helper which got split out
  from the openat2() patchset. It is a generic interface designed to
  copy a struct from userspace.

  The helper will be especially useful for structs versioned by size of
  which we have quite a few. This allows for backwards compatibility,
  i.e. an extended struct can be passed to an older kernel, or a legacy
  struct can be passed to a newer kernel. For the first case (extended
  struct, older kernel) the new fields in an extended struct can be set
  to zero and the struct safely passed to an older kernel.

  The most obvious benefit is that this helper lets us get rid of
  duplicate code present in at least sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(),
  and clone3(). More importantly it will also help to ensure that users
  implementing versioning-by-size end up with the same core semantics.

  This point is especially crucial since we have at least one case where
  versioning-by-size is used but with slighly different semantics:
  sched_setattr(), perf_event_open(), and clone3() all do do similar
  checks to copy_struct_from_user() while rt_sigprocmask(2) always
  rejects differently-sized struct arguments.

  With this pull request we also switch over sched_setattr(),
  perf_event_open(), and clone3() to use the new helper"

+/**
+ * copy_struct_from_user: copy a struct from userspace
+ * @dst:   Destination address, in kernel space. This buffer must be @ksize
+ *         bytes long.
+ * @ksize: Size of @dst struct.
+ * @src:   Source address, in userspace.
+ * @usize: (Alleged) size of @src struct.
+ *
+ * Copies a struct from userspace to kernel space, in a way that guarantees
+ * backwards-compatibility for struct syscall arguments (as long as future
+ * struct extensions are made such that all new fields are *appended* to the
+ * old struct, and zeroed-out new fields have the same meaning as the old
+ * struct).
+ *
+ * @ksize is just sizeof(*dst), and @usize should've been passed by userspace.
+ * The recommended usage is something like the following:
+ *
+ *   SYSCALL_DEFINE2(foobar, const struct foo __user *, uarg, size_t, usize)
+ *   {
+ *      int err;
+ *      struct foo karg = {};
+ *
+ *      if (usize > PAGE_SIZE)
+ *        return -E2BIG;
+ *      if (usize < FOO_SIZE_VER0)
+ *        return -EINVAL;
+ *
+ *      err = copy_struct_from_user(&karg, sizeof(karg), uarg, usize);
+ *      if (err)
+ *        return err;
+ *
+ *      // ...
+ *   }
+ *
+ * There are three cases to consider:
+ *  * If @usize == @ksize, then it's copied verbatim.
+ *  * If @usize < @ksize, then the userspace has passed an old struct to a
+ *    newer kernel. The rest of the trailing bytes in @dst (@ksize - @usize)
+ *    are to be zero-filled.
+ *  * If @usize > @ksize, then the userspace has passed a new struct to an
+ *    older kernel. The trailing bytes unknown to the kernel (@usize - @ksize)
+ *    are checked to ensure they are zeroed, otherwise -E2BIG is returned.
+ *
+ * Returns (in all cases, some data may have been copied):
+ *  * -E2BIG:  (@usize > @ksize) and there are non-zero trailing bytes in @src.
+ *  * -EFAULT: access to userspace failed.
