Jean Delvare 0c9f15e1a7 - fix-swapping-fake-lines-in-pch_swap.patch: Fix swapping fake
lines in pch_swap. This bug was causing a double free leading to
  a crash (boo#1080985 CVE-2018-6952).
- abort-when-cleaning-up-fails.patch: Abort when cleaning up fails.
  This bug could cause an infinite loop when a patch wouldn't
  apply, leading to a segmentation fault (boo#1111572).
- dont-follow-symlinks-unless-asked.patch: Don't follow symlinks
  unless --follow-symlinks is given. This increases the security
  against malicious patches (boo#1142041 CVE-2019-13636).
- pass-the-correct-stat-to-backup-files.patch: Pass the correct
  stat to backup files. This bug would occasionally cause backup
  files to be missing when all hunks failed to apply (boo#1198106).

Subject: Pass the correct stat to backup files
Patch-mainline: Yes
Git-commit: c835ecc67b7e37c0d0b7dd7e032209fdaa285808
References: boo#1198106 savananh#62364
The last case to call output_file() in the main loop is
output_file (outname, NULL, &tmpoutst, NULL, NULL,
file_type | 0, backup);
and this essentially means to create a backup file (where to=NULL)
only if backup=true, and does nothing else.
And, in the current code, the passed file stat (&tmpoutst) is a file
stat of the temporary file that has been processed, not the original
file (outname) to be backed up. When the backup is performed
immediately, this is no big problem. However, output_file() may
schedule the deferred handling, and the given file may be backed up at
a later point. The problem is that create_backup() tries to avoid the
backup of the same file twice, and it checks the given stat i-node
number in the hash list. Since it's a stat of a temporary file, the
same i-node number may be reused once a temp file is deleted and
another is created. This results in a false-positive detection of the
already existing file, eventually missing a backup file.
This patch attempts to address the issue:
- Modify the condition for better understanding, clearly indicating
that the code there is for creating a backup file
- Pass the stat of the original file instead of a temporary file
