commit 6b2a3d628aa752f0ab825fc6d4d07b09e274d1c1 upstream.

The data to audit/record is in the 'from' buffer (ie., the input
read buffer).

commit 42acfc6615f47e465731c263bee0c799edb098f2 upstream.

In csi_J(3), the third parameter of scr_memsetw (vc_screenbuf_size) is
divided by 2 inappropriatelly. But scr_memsetw expects size, not
count, because it divides the size by 2 on its own before doing actual
memset-by-words.

So remove the bogus division.

commit 32b2921e6a7461fe63b71217067a6cf4bddb132f upstream.

Size of kmalloc() in vc_do_resize() is controlled by user.
Too large kmalloc() size triggers WARNING message on console.
Put a reasonable upper bound on terminal size to prevent WARNINGs.

commit 009e39ae44f4191188aeb6dfbf661b771dbbe515 upstream.

When resizing a vt its selection may exceed the new size, resulting in
an invalid memory access [1]. Clear the selection before resizing.

<title>tty: Prevent ldisc drivers from re-using stale tty fields</title>

<content type='text'>
commit dd42bf1197144ede075a9d4793123f7689e164bc upstream.

Line discipline drivers may mistakenly misuse ldisc-related fields
when initializing. For example, a failure to initialize tty-&gt;receive_room
in the N_GIGASET_M101 line discipline was recently found and fixed [1].
Now, the N_X25 line discipline has been discovered accessing the previous
line discipline's already-freed private data [2].

Harden the ldisc interface against misuse by initializing revelant
tty fields before instancing the new line discipline.

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.

commit b8995f527aac143e83d3900ff39357651ea4e0f6 upstream.

This patch fixes the broken serial log when changing the clock source
of uart device. Before disabling the original clock source, this patch
enables the new clock source to protect the clock off state for a split second.

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.

<title>serial: sh-sci: Remove cpufreq notifier to fix crash/deadlock</title>

commit ff1cab374ad98f4b9f408525ca9c08992b4ed784 upstream.

The BSP team noticed that there is spin/mutex lock issue on sh-sci when
CPUFREQ is used.  The issue is that the notifier function may call
mutex_lock() while the spinlock is held, which can lead to a BUG().
This may happen if CPUFREQ is changed while another CPU calls
clk_get_rate().

Taking the spinlock was added to the notifier function in commit
e552de2413edad1a ("sh-sci: add platform device private data"), to
protect the list of serial ports against modification during traversal.
At that time the Common Clock Framework didn't exist yet, and
clk_get_rate() just returned clk-&gt;rate without taking a mutex.
Note that since commit d535a2305facf9b4 ("serial: sh-sci: Require a
device per port mapping."), there's no longer a list of serial ports to
traverse, and taking the spinlock became superfluous.

To fix the issue, just remove the cpufreq notifier:
  1. The notifier doesn't work correctly: all it does is update stored
     clock rates; it does not update the divider in the hardware.
     The divider will only be updated when calling sci_set_termios().
     I believe this was broken back in 2004, when the old
     drivers/char/sh-sci.c driver (where the notifier did update the
     divider) was replaced by drivers/serial/sh-sci.c (where the
     notifier just updated port-&gt;uartclk).
     Cfr. full-history-linux commits 6f8deaef2e9675d9 ("[PATCH] sh: port
     sh-sci driver to the new API") and 3f73fe878dc9210a ("[PATCH]
     Remove old sh-sci driver").
  2. On modern SoCs, the sh-sci parent clock rate is no longer related
     to the CPU clock rate anyway, so using a cpufreq notifier is
     futile.

<title>8250: use callbacks to access UART_DLL/UART_DLM</title>

commit 0b41ce991052022c030fd868e03877700220b090 upstream.

Some UART HW has a single register combining UART_DLL/UART_DLM
(this was probably forgotten in the change that introduced the
callbacks, commit b32b19b8ffc05cbd3bf91c65e205f6a912ca15d9)

Fixes: b32b19b8ffc0 ("[SERIAL] 8250: set divisor register correctly ...")
