The CFI fix is in Linus' tree today.

Paul, you could just merge commit 1dfbe9fcda4a ("usercopy: Make
usercopy resilient against ridiculously large copies") from Linus' tree
(or rebase on top of that or 30306f6194ca "Merge tag
"hardening-v5.19-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux"
since it is based on -rc2).
