commit 510cccb5b0c8868a2b302a0ab524da7912da648b upstream.

The size of individual keymap in drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c is NR_KEYS,
which is currently 256, whereas number of keys/buttons in input device (and
therefor in key_down) is much larger - KEY_CNT - 768, and that can cause
out-of-bound access when we do

	sym = U(key_maps[0][k]);

with large 'k'.

To fix it we should not attempt iterating beyond smaller of NR_KEYS and
KEY_CNT.

Also while at it let's switch to for_each_set_bit() instead of open-coding
it.

<title>tty: vt: Fix soft lockup in fbcon cursor blink timer.</title>

commit 1b45996d2ebf9680ccd0db875fc668aa025f40fd upstream.

We are getting somewhat random soft lockups with this signature:

[   86.992215] [&lt;fffffc00080935e0&gt;] el1_irq+0xa0/0x10c
[   86.997082] [&lt;fffffc000841822c&gt;] cursor_timer_handler+0x30/0x54
[   87.002991] [&lt;fffffc000810ec44&gt;] call_timer_fn+0x54/0x1a8
[   87.008378] [&lt;fffffc000810ef88&gt;] run_timer_softirq+0x1c4/0x2bc
[   87.014200] [&lt;fffffc000809077c&gt;] __do_softirq+0x114/0x344
[   87.019590] [&lt;fffffc00080af45c&gt;] irq_exit+0x74/0x98
[   87.024458] [&lt;fffffc00080fac20&gt;] __handle_domain_irq+0x98/0xfc
[   87.030278] [&lt;fffffc000809056c&gt;] gic_handle_irq+0x94/0x190

This is caused by the vt visual_init() function calling into
fbcon_init() with a vc_cur_blink_ms value of zero.  This is a
transient condition, as it is later set to a non-zero value.  But, if
the timer happens to expire while the blink rate is zero, it goes into
an endless loop, and we get soft lockup.

The fix is to initialize vc_cur_blink_ms before calling the con_init()
function.

commit 6798df4c5fe0a7e6d2065cf79649a794e5ba7114 upstream.

When csw-&gt;con_startup() fails in do_register_con_driver, we return no
error (i.e. 0). This was changed back in 2006 by commit 3e795de763.
Before that we used to return -ENODEV.

So fix the return value to be -ENODEV in that case again.

add_softcursor() stores the contents of the text buffer position in this
variable before drawing the softcursor, whereas hide_softcursor() writes
the value back. A value of -1 means that no cursor has been drawn and
therefore no character is to be restored. softcursor_original, however,
is only implicitly initialized with 0. Therefore, when hide_softcursor
is called for the first time (console_init -&gt; con_init -&gt; redraw_screen
-&gt; hide_cursor), it wrongly writes 0x0000 in the top left corner of
the text buffer. Normally, this is just as black as the rest of the
screen (vc_video_erase_char) and can't be seen, but it appears as a
black cursor rectangle on non-black backgrounds e.g. with boot option
"vt.global_cursor_default=0 vt.color=0xf0". softcursor_original needs
to be initialized with -1.

Previously, speakup would always read the non-scrolled part of the VT,
even when the VT is scrolled back with shift-page.  This patch makes
vt.c export screen_pos so that speakup can use it to properly access
the content of the scrolled-back VT.

This was tested with both vgacon and fbcon.

<title>tty: Prepare for destroying line discipline on hangup</title>

tty file_operations (read/write/ioctl) wait for the ldisc reference
indefinitely (until ldisc lifetime events, such as hangup or TIOCSETD,
finish). Since hangup now destroys the ldisc and does not instance
another copy, file_operations must now be prepared to receive a NULL
ldisc reference from tty_ldisc_ref_wait():

CPU 0                                   CPU 1
-----                                   -----
(*f_op-&gt;read)() =&gt; tty_read()
                                        __tty_hangup()
                                        ...
                                        f_op = &amp;hung_up_tty_fops;
                                        ...
                                        tty_ldisc_hangup()
                                           tty_ldisc_lock()
                                           tty_ldisc_kill()
                                              tty-&gt;ldisc = NULL
                                           tty_ldisc_unlock()
ld = tty_ldisc_ref_wait()
/* ld == NULL */

Instead, the action taken now is to return the same value as if the
tty had been hungup a moment earlier:

                                        f_op = &amp;hung_up_tty_fops;
(*f_op-&gt;read)() =&gt; hung_up_tty_read()
return 0;
                                        ...
                                        tty_ldisc_hangup()
                                           tty_ldisc_lock()

<pre>
tty file_operations (read/write/ioctl) wait for the ldisc reference
indefinitely (until ldisc lifetime events, such as hangup or TIOCSETD,
finish). Since hangup now destroys the ldisc and does not instance
another copy, file_operations must now be prepared to receive a NULL
ldisc reference from tty_ldisc_ref_wait():

CPU 0                                   CPU 1
-----                                   -----
(*f_op-&gt;read)() =&gt; tty_read()
                                        __tty_hangup()
                                        ...
                                        f_op = &amp;hung_up_tty_fops;
                                        ...
                                        tty_ldisc_hangup()
                                           tty_ldisc_lock()
                                           tty_ldisc_kill()
                                              tty-&gt;ldisc = NULL
                                           tty_ldisc_unlock()
ld = tty_ldisc_ref_wait()
/* ld == NULL */

Instead, the action taken now is to return the same value as if the
tty had been hungup a moment earlier:

CPU 0                                   CPU 1
-----                                   -----
                                        __tty_hangup()
                                        ...
                                        f_op = &amp;hung_up_tty_fops;
(*f_op-&gt;read)() =&gt; hung_up_tty_read()
return 0;
                                        ...
                                        tty_ldisc_hangup()
                                           tty_ldisc_lock()
                                           tty_ldisc_kill()
                                              tty-&gt;ldisc = NULL
                                           tty_ldisc_unlock()
