netlink: Use copy_to_user() for optval in netlink_getsockopt().
[ Upstream commit d913d32cc2707e9cd24fe6fa6d7d470e9c728980 ]
Brad Spencer provided a detailed report [0] that when calling getsockopt()
for AF_NETLINK, some SOL_NETLINK options set only 1 byte even though such
options require at least sizeof(int) as length.
The options return a flag value that fits into 1 byte, but such behaviour
confuses users who do not initialise the variable before calling
getsockopt() and do not strictly check the returned value as char.
Currently, netlink_getsockopt() uses put_user() to copy data to optlen and
optval, but put_user() casts the data based on the pointer, char *optval.
As a result, only 1 byte is set to optval.
To avoid this behaviour, we need to use copy_to_user() or cast optval for
put_user().
Note that this changes the behaviour on big-endian systems, but we document
that the size of optval is int in the man page.
$ man 7 netlink
...
Socket options
To set or get a netlink socket option, call getsockopt(2) to read
or setsockopt(2) to write the option with the option level argument
set to SOL_NETLINK. Unless otherwise noted, optval is a pointer to
an int.

Fixes: be0c22a46cfb ("netlink: add NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR socket option")
Fixes: 38938bfe3489 ("netlink: add NETLINK_NO_ENOBUFS socket flag")
Fixes: 0a6a3a23ea6e ("netlink: add NETLINK_CAP_ACK socket option")
