commit0210d25116upstream. The orc_sort_cmp() function, used with qsort(), previously violated the symmetry and transitivity rules required by the C standard. Specifically, when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, it could result in both a < b and b < a, which breaks the required symmetry and transitivity. This can lead to undefined behavior and incorrect sorting results, potentially causing memory corruption in glibc implementations [1]. Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x. Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z. Fix the comparison logic to return 0 when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, ensuring compliance with qsort() requirements.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
