[ Upstream commit 009e39ae44f4191188aeb6dfbf661b771dbbe515 ]

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

[ Upstream commit e51e4d8a185de90424b03f30181b35f29c46a25a ]

When the clk_get() of "uart" clock returns EPROBE_DEFER, the next re-probe
finishes with success but uses invalid (ERR_PTR) values.  This leads to
dereferencing of ERR_PTR stored under ourport-&gt;clk:

	12c30000.serial: Controller clock not found
	(...)
	12c30000.serial: ttySAC3 at MMIO 0x12c30000 (irq = 61, base_baud = 0) is a S3C6400/10
	Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffffdfb

	(kthread) from [&lt;c0107978&gt;] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x3c)

The first unsuccessful clk_get() causes s3c24xx_serial_init_port() to
exit with failure but the s3c24xx_uart_port is left half-configured
(e.g. port-&gt;mapbase is set, clk contains ERR_PTR).  On next re-probe,
the function s3c24xx_serial_init_port() will exit early with success
because of configured port-&gt;mapbase and driver will use old values,
including the ERR_PTR as clock.

Fix this by cleaning the port-&gt;mapbase on error path so each re-probe
will initialize all of the port settings.

[ Upstream commit 510cccb5b0c8868a2b302a0ab524da7912da648b ]

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.

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.

New bindings use "fsl,t1040-ucc-uart" as the compatible for qe-uart.
So add it.

[ Upstream commit d175feca89a1c162f60f4e3560ca7bc9437c65eb ]

Dmitry reported, that the current cleanup code in n_gsm can trigger a
warning:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 24238 at drivers/tty/n_gsm.c:2048 gsm_cleanup_mux+0x166/0x6b0()
...
Call Trace:

 [&lt;ffffffff828a14ea&gt;] tty_ioctl+0xb2a/0x2140 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2883
...

But this is a legal path when open fails to find a space in the
gsm_mux array and tries to clean up. So make it a standard test
instead of a warning.

<title>pty: make sure super_block is still valid in final /dev/tty close</title>

[ Upstream commit 1f55c718c290616889c04946864a13ef30f64929 ]

Considering current pty code and multiple devpts instances, it's possible
to umount a devpts file system while a program still has /dev/tty opened
pointing to a previosuly closed pty pair in that instance. In the case all
ptmx and pts/N files are closed, umount can be done. If the program closes
/dev/tty after umount is done, devpts_kill_index will use now an invalid
super_block, which was already destroyed in the umount operation after
running -&gt;kill_sb. This is another "use after free" type of issue, but now
related to the allocated super_block instance.

To avoid the problem (warning at ida_remove and potential crashes) for
this specific case, I added two functions in devpts which grabs additional
references to the super_block, which pty code now uses so it makes sure
the super block structure is still valid until pty shutdown is done.
I also moved the additional inode references to the same functions, which
also covered similar case with inode being freed before /dev/tty final
close/shutdown.
