sysctl: fix proc_dobool() usability
Currently proc_dobool expects a (bool *) in table->data, but sizeof(int) in table->maxsize, because it uses do_proc_dointvec() directly. This is unsafe for at least two reasons: 1. A sysctl table definition may use { .data = &variable, .maxsize = sizeof(variable) }, not realizing that this makes the sysctl unusable (see the Fixes: tag) and that they need to use the completely counterintuitive sizeof(int) instead. 2. proc_dobool() will currently try to parse an array of values if given .maxsize >= 2*sizeof(int), but will try to write values of type bool by offsets of sizeof(int), so it will not work correctly with neither an (int *) nor a (bool *). There is no .maxsize validation to prevent this. Fix this by: 1. Constraining proc_dobool() to allow only one value and .maxsize == sizeof(bool). 2. Wrapping the original struct ctl_table in a temporary one with .data pointing to a local int variable and .maxsize set to sizeof(int) and passing this one to proc_dointvec(), converting the value to/from bool as needed (using proc_dou8vec_minmax() as an example). 3. Extending sysctl_check_table() to enforce proc_dobool() expectations. 4. Fixing the proc_dobool() docstring (it was just copy-pasted from proc_douintvec, apparently...). 5. Converting all existing proc_dobool() users to set .maxsize to sizeof(bool) instead of sizeof(int). Fixes:83efeeeb3d
