I continue to dislike the layers of macros and specialization here.
This is just a fancy version of check_assign():

	if (get_user(next, &ext->next_extension) || check_assign(next, &ext))
		return -EFAULT;

However, the __builtin_*_overflow() family only wants to work on
integral types, so this needs to be slightly expanded:

	uintptr_t kptr;
	...
	if (get_user(next, &ext->next_extension) || check_assign(next, &kptr))
		return -EFAULT;

	ext = (void * __user)kptr;

But, it does seem like the actual problem here is that u64_to_user_ptr()
is not performing the checking? It's used heavily in the drm code.

Is a check_assign_user_ptr() needed?

I'd like to avoid "externalizing" these kinds of checks when the better
path is to catch the issue at operation type (add, sub, mul, assign).
Looking at existing users, I see stuff like:

                if (overflows_type(item.query_id - 1, unsigned long))
                        return -EINVAL;

                func_idx = item.query_id - 1;

This requires too much open-coded checking, IMO. It's better as:

		if (check_assign(item.query_id - 1, &func_idx))
			return -EINVAL;

or other similar:

        if (overflows_type(user->slice_mask, context->slice_mask) ||
	...
        context->slice_mask = user->slice_mask;

and some that don't make sense to me. Why check argument types? Is this
trying to avoid implicit type conversions?

So, if it's _really_ needed, I can live with adding overflows_type().

I'd rather not have this -- it's just a specialized use of
overflows_type(), and only used in 1 place.

This is a good point: the check_{add,sub,mul}_overflow() helpers
currently require all the params be the same type, which rather limits
their usage. Perhaps this can be weakened now that we're not using[1]
the fallback logic any more? (Separate patch.)

But yes, this looks correct. I really like it. :)
