OK, so I'll go for -EINVAL.

The check is actually:
/* Ensure that abort_ip is not in the critical section. */
if (rseq_cs->abort_ip - rseq_cs->start_ip < rseq_cs->post_commit_offset)
return -EINVAL;

that works.

this one does not work. We need to ensure that abort_ip
is not between [ start_ip, start_ip + post_commit_offset ]. The
check you propose validates that start_ip is below abort_ip,
which is bogus. For instance, abort_ip can very well be in a
different section of the binary, at an address either below
or above start_ip.

What underflow issues are you concerned with ?

Yes, get_user() should handle that one properly.
