[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 06/12] linux-user: Detect Negative Message Sizes in msgsnd System Call

[Tom Musta]

The msgsnd system call takes an argument that describes the message
size (msgsz) and is of type size_t.  The system call should set
errno to EINVAL in the event that a negative message size is passed.
