hum, does '(size > max_size)' catch anything that would
not be catched by '(offset + size > endp)' ?

I think, it'd be better to have just one overflow check function, like:

static inline bool overflow(const void *endp, const void *offset, u64 size)
{
return offset + size > endp;
}

#define OVERFLOW_CHECK(offset, size) \
do { \
if (overflow(endp, (offset), (size))) \
return -EFAULT; \
} while (0)

#define OVERFLOW_CHECK_u64(offset) OVERFLOW_CHECK(offset, sizeof(u64))

Hum, I was thinking of making this check more general and
cover also perf_event__synthesize_sample function.. but
looks like it's not needed there..?
