Pull tty/serial fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are a small number of small tty and serial fixes for some
  reported problems for the tty core, vt code, and some serial drivers.

  They include fixes for:

   - a buggy and obsolete vt font ioctl removal

   - 8250_mtk serial baudrate runtime warnings

   - imx serial earlycon build configuration fix

   - txx9 serial driver error path cleanup issues

   - tty core fix in release_tty that can be triggered by trying to bind
     an invalid serial port name to a speakup console device

  Almost all of these have been in linux-next without any problems, the
  only one that hasn't, just deletes code :)"

It's buggy:

&gt; &lt;https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/9/27/223&gt; for VT_RESIZEX can't handle this
&gt; issue.
&gt;
&gt; Specifically, we use KD_FONT_OP_SET to set a small font.data for tty6, and
&gt; use  KD_FONT_OP_SET again to set a large font.height for tty1. After that,
&gt; we use KD_FONT_OP_COPY to assign tty6's vc_font.data to tty1's vc_font.data
&gt; in "fbcon_do_set_font", while tty1 retains the original larger
&gt; height. Obviously, this will cause an out-of-bounds read, because we can
&gt; access a smaller vc_font.data with a larger vc_font.height.

Further there was only one user ever.
- Android's loadfont, busybox and console-tools only ever use OP_GET
  and OP_SET
- fbset documentation only mentions the kernel cmdline font: option,
  not anything else.
- systemd used OP_COPY before release 232 published in Nov 2016

Now unfortunately the crucial report seems to have gone down with
gmane, and the commit message doesn't say much. But the pull request
hints at OP_COPY being broken

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3651

So in other words, this never worked, and the only project which
foolishly every tried to use it, realized that rather quickly too.

Instead of trying to fix security issues here on dead code by adding
missing checks, fix the entire thing by removing the functionality.

Note that systemd code using the OP_COPY function ignored the return
value, so it doesn't matter what we're doing here really - just in
case a lone server somewhere happens to be extremely unlucky and
running an affected old version of systemd. The relevant code from
font_copy_to_all_vcs() in systemd was:

	/* copy font from active VT, where the font was uploaded to */
	cfo.op = KD_FONT_OP_COPY;
	cfo.height = vcs.v_active-1; /* tty1 == index 0 */
	(void) ioctl(vcfd, KDFONTOP, &amp;cfo);

Note this just disables the ioctl, garbage collecting the now unused
callbacks is left for -next.

v2: Tetsuo found the old mail, which allowed me to find it on another
archive. Add the link too.

Some of the font tty ioctl's always used the current foreground VC for
their operations.  Don't do that then.

This fixes a data race on fg_console.

Side note: both Michael Ellerman and Jiri Slaby point out that all these
ioctls are deprecated, and should probably have been removed long ago,
and everything seems to be using the KDFONTOP ioctl instead.

In fact, Michael points out that it looks like busybox's loadfont
program seems to have switched over to using KDFONTOP exactly _because_
of this bug (ahem.. 12 years ago ;-).

In commit 5ba127878722, we shuffled with the check of 'perm'. But my
brain somehow inverted the condition in 'do_unimap_ioctl' (I thought
it is ||, not &amp;&amp;), so GIO_UNIMAP stopped working completely.

Move the 'perm' checks back to do_unimap_ioctl and do them right again.
In fact, this reverts this part of code to the pre-5ba127878722 state.
Except 'perm' is now a bool.

<title>vt: keyboard, extend func_buf_lock to readers</title>

Both read-side users of func_table/func_buf need locking. Without that,
one can easily confuse the code by repeatedly setting altering strings
like:
while (1)
	for (a = 0; a &lt; 2; a++) {
		struct kbsentry kbs = {};
		strcpy((char *)kbs.kb_string, a ? ".\n" : "88888\n");
		ioctl(fd, KDSKBSENT, &amp;kbs);
	}

When that program runs, one can get unexpected output by holding F1
(note the unxpected period on the last line):
.
88888
.8888

So protect all accesses to 'func_table' (and func_buf) by preexisting
'func_buf_lock'.

It is easy in 'k_fn' handler as 'puts_queue' is expected not to sleep.
On the other hand, KDGKBSENT needs a local (atomic) copy of the string
because copy_to_user can sleep. Use already allocated, but unused
'kbs-&gt;kb_string' for that purpose.

Note that the program above needs at least CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG.

This depends on the previous patch and on the func_buf_lock lock added
in commit 46ca3f735f34 (tty/vt: fix write/write race in ioctl(KDSKBSENT)
handler) in 5.2.

Likely fixes CVE-2020-25656.

Use 'strlen' of the string, add one for NUL terminator and simply do
'copy_to_user' instead of the explicit 'for' loop. This makes the
KDGKBSENT case more compact.

The only thing we need to take care about is NULL 'func_table[i]'. Use
an empty string in that case.

The original check for overflow could never trigger as the func_buf
strings are always shorter or equal to 'struct kbsentry's.

<title>vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE</title>

<id>988d0763361bb65690d60e2bc53a6b72777040c3</id>
<content type='text'>
syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2], for
vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height larger than
actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from ioctl(PIO_FONT).
Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates minimal amount of
memory based on actual font height calculated by con_font_set(),
use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font data.

VT_RESIZEX was introduced in Linux 1.3.3, but it is unclear that what
comes to the "+ more" part, and I couldn't find a user of VT_RESIZEX.

  #define VT_RESIZE   0x5609 /* set kernel's idea of screensize */
  #define VT_RESIZEX  0x560A /* set kernel's idea of screensize + more */

So far we are not aware of syzbot reports caused by setting non-zero value
to v_vlin parameter. But given that it is possible that nobody is using
VT_RESIZEX, we can try removing support for v_clin and v_vlin parameters.

Therefore, this patch effectively makes VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE,
with emitting a message if somebody is still using v_clin and/or v_vlin
parameters.

syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2], for
vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height larger than
actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from ioctl(PIO_FONT).
Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates minimal amount of
memory based on actual font height calculated by con_font_set(),
use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font data.

VT_RESIZEX was introduced in Linux 1.3.3, but it is unclear that what
comes to the "+ more" part, and I couldn't find a user of VT_RESIZEX.

  #define VT_RESIZE   0x5609 /* set kernel's idea of screensize */
  #define VT_RESIZEX  0x560A /* set kernel's idea of screensize + more */

So far we are not aware of syzbot reports caused by setting non-zero value
to v_vlin parameter. But given that it is possible that nobody is using
VT_RESIZEX, we can try removing support for v_clin and v_vlin parameters.

Therefore, this patch effectively makes VT_RESIZEX behave like VT_RESIZE,
with emitting a message if somebody is still using v_clin and/or v_vlin
parameters.

This reverts commit b1c32fcfadf5593ab7a63261cc8a5747c36e627e, because
Syzkaller reports a use-after-free, a write in vcs_read:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in vcs_read_buf drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c:357 [inline]

 vcs_read_buf drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c:357 [inline]
 vcs_read+0xaa7/0xb40 drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c:449

There are two issues with the patch:
1) vcs_read rounds the 'count' *up* to an even number. So if we read odd
   bytes from the header (3 bytes in the reproducer), the second byte of
   a (2-byte/ushort) write to temporary con_buf won't fit. It is because
   with the patch applied, we only subtract the real number read (3 bytes)
   and not the whole header (4 bytes).

2) in this scenario, we perform unaligned accesses now: there are
   2-byte/ushort writes to odd addresses. Due to the same reason as
   above.

Revert this for now, re-think and retry later.
