open_how arguments are translated to open_flags which is limited to 32 bits.

This code is shared with the other open functions that are limited to 32 bits
in open_flags.  openat2 was created to avoid the limitations of openat, so at
some point it isn't unreasonable that flags exceed 32 bits, but open_flags
would have to be modified at that point to accommodate.

This value is handed in from userspace, and could be handed in without being
defined in the kernel, so those values need to be properly checked regardless
of the flags defined in the kernel.

The openat2 syscall claims to check all flags but no check is done on the top
32 bits.

build_open_flags() assigns how->flags to an int, effectively dropping the top
32 bits, before being checked against ~VALID_OPEN_FLAGS.  This happens after
audit mode filtering, but has the same result.

Audit mode filtering using ACC_MODE() already masks out all but the lowest two
bits with O_ACCMODE, so there is no danger of overflowing a u32.

tomoyo_check_open_permission() assigns ACC_MODE() to u8 without a check.

All FMODE_* flags are clamped at u32.

6 bits remain at top and 4 bits just above O_ACCMODE, so there is no immediate
danger of overflow and if any additional mode bits are needed they are
available.
000377777703 used
037777777777 available
10 bits remaining

So, I don't think a check at this point in the code is useful, but do agree
that there should be some changes and checks added in sys_openat2 and
build_open_flags().


Also noticed: It looks like fddb5d430ad9f left in VALID_UPGRADE_FLAGS for
how->upgrade_mask that was removed.  This may be used at a later date, but at
this point is dead code.
