If truncated CDAT entries are received from a device, the concatenation
of those entries constitutes a corrupt CDAT, yet is happily exposed to
user space.
Avoid by verifying response lengths and erroring out if truncation is
detected.
The last CDAT entry may still be truncated despite the checks introduced
herein if the length in the CDAT header is too small. However, that is
easily detectable by user space because it reaches EOF prematurely.
A subsequent commit which rightsizes the CDAT response allocation closes
that remaining loophole.
The two lines introduced here which exceed 80 chars are shortened to
less than 80 chars by a subsequent commit which migrates to a
synchronous DOE API and replaces "t.task.rv" by "rc".
The existing acpi_cdat_header and acpi_table_cdat struct definitions
provided by ACPICA cannot be used because they do not employ __le16 or
__le32 types. I believe that cannot be changed because those types are
Linux-specific and ACPI is specified for little endian platforms only,
hence doesn't care about endianness. So duplicate the structs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
