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 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.

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 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 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 926b7b5122c96e1f18cd20e85a286c7ec8d18c97 upstream.

On non-DeviceTree platforms, the index of serial device is a static
variable incremented on each probe.  It is incremented even if deferred
probe happens when getting the clock in s3c24xx_serial_init_port().

This index is used for referencing elements of statically allocated
s3c24xx_serial_ports array.  In case of re-probe, the index will point
outside of this array leading to memory corruption.

Increment the index only on successful probe.

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.

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 the
     stored clock rate; 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.

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 ...")

<title>tty: Fix unsafe ldisc reference via ioctl(TIOCGETD)</title>

commit 5c17c861a357e9458001f021a7afa7aab9937439 upstream.

ioctl(TIOCGETD) retrieves the line discipline id directly from the
ldisc because the line discipline id (c_line) in termios is untrustworthy;
userspace may have set termios via ioctl(TCSETS*) without actually
changing the line discipline via ioctl(TIOCSETD).

However, directly accessing the current ldisc via tty-&gt;ldisc is
unsafe; the ldisc ptr dereferenced may be stale if the line discipline
is changing via ioctl(TIOCSETD) or hangup.

Wait for the line discipline reference (just like read() or write())
to retrieve the "current" line discipline id.
