[PATCH 02/12] perf jitdump: Validate code_size against total_size in code load

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>

jit_repipe_code_load() reads code_size from the jitdump record and uses
it to compute a pointer to the code blob:

  code = (unsigned long)jr + jr->load.p.total_size - csize;

An oversized code_size underflows the pointer arithmetic, causing OOB
reads into earlier heap memory.  Validate that code_size fits within the
record (total_size - sizeof(jr->load)) before the pointer computation.

code_size is uint64_t but csize is int; values above INT_MAX wrap
negative when narrowed into csize, which defeats the bounds check and
sends the code pointer past the end of the record.  Reject those too.
