[PATCH v1 04/14] futex: Validate futex value against futex size

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Jul 21 2023 - 07:00:19 EST


Ensure the futex value fits in the given futex size. Since this adds a
constraint to an existing syscall, it might possibly change behaviour.

Currently the value would be truncated to a u32 and any high bits
would get silently lost.
