Description:
This bug hardly appears during real kernel compiling,
because the vmlinux symbols table is huge.
But we can still catch it under strict condition , as follows.
$ echo "c101b97b T do_fork" | ./scripts/kallsyms --all-symbols
#include <asm/types.h>
......
......
.globl kallsyms_token_table
ALGN
kallsyms_token_table:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
If symbols table is small, all entries in token_profit[0x10000] may
decrease to 0 after several calls of compress_symbols() in optimize_result().
In that case, find_best_token() always return 0 and
best_table[i] is set to "\0\0" and best_table_len[i] is set to 2.
As a result, expand_symbol(best_table[0]="\0\0", best_table_len[0]=2, buf)
in write_src() will run in infinite recursion until stack overflows,
causing segfault.
This patch checks the find_best_token() return value. If all entries in
token_profit[0x10000] become 0 according to return value, it breaks the loop
in optimize_result().
And expand_symbol() works well when best_table_len[i] is 0.

When memory used for policy exceeds the quota, tomoyo_memory_ok() return false.
In this case, tomoyo_commit_ok() must call kfree() before returning NULL.
This bug exists since 2.6.35.

allows the driver to proceed and initialize the below two values
even if the kmalloc() fails.

Convert direct read of inode->i_size to using i_size_read().
i_size_read is guaranteed to return a valid value and
its caller does not need to use addtional locking.

Because malloc/kzalloc may fail, we should check kmalloc/kzalloc return value
in sm_create_sysfs_attributes(), mtd/sm_rtl.c and do error handling.
Meanwhile, we should check sm_create_sysfs_attributes return value.

use kmemdup instead of kmalloc and memcpy,
and check its return value
