commit 478cdd736f2ce3114f90e775d7358136d3977b94 upstream.

tw_interrupt() accumulates each non-zero serial byte into a fixed
three-byte buffer with a running index that is only reset once a full
packet has been received *and* the device's two Y bytes agree:

	tw-&gt;data[tw-&gt;idx++] = data;
	if (tw-&gt;idx == TW_LENGTH &amp;&amp; tw-&gt;data[1] == tw-&gt;data[2]) {
		...
		tw-&gt;idx = 0;
	}

The reset is gated on tw-&gt;data[1] == tw-&gt;data[2], a value the device
controls.  A malicious, malfunctioning or counterfeit Touchwindow
peripheral can stream non-zero bytes whose 2nd and 3rd bytes differ: the
index reaches TW_LENGTH without the equality holding, is never reset, and
keeps growing, so tw-&gt;data[tw-&gt;idx++] walks off the end of the three-byte
array and the rest of the heap-allocated struct tw, one attacker-chosen
byte at a time -- an unbounded, device-driven heap out-of-bounds write.

Reset the index on every completed packet and report an event only when
the two Y bytes match, like the other serio touchscreen drivers do.

<title>Input: touchscreen - use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)</title>

<content type='text'>
It is preferred to use sizeof(*pointer) instead of sizeof(type)
due to the type of the variable can change and one needs not
change the former (unlike the latter).

The refactoring is mostly trivial except for "usbtouchscreen.c"
file. Here, in the "mtouch_alloc" and "nexio_alloc" functions,
it is necessary to use a variable with a predefined type instead
of the "usbtouch-&gt;priv" variable (void * type). This way, the
"sizeof" operator can now know the correct size. Moreover, we
need to set the "usbtouch-&gt;priv" pointer after the memory
allocation since now the "kmalloc" return value is not assigned
directly.

This patch has no effect on runtime behavior.

serio_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with serio_device_id provided by &lt;linux/serio.h&gt; work with
const serio_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

get rid of input BIT* duplicate defines

use newly global defined macros for input layer. Also remove includes of
input.h from non-input sources only for BIT macro definiton. Define the
macro temporarily in local manner, all those local definitons will be
removed further in this patchset (to not break bisecting).
BIT macro will be globally defined (1&lt;&lt;x)
