[ Upstream commit 01c0cce88c5480cc2505b79330246ef12eda938f ]

Commit 95da53d63dcf ("drm/omapdrm: Use regular fbdev I/O helpers")
stopped console from updating for command mode displays because there is
no damage handling in fb_sys_write() unlike we had earlier in
drm_fb_helper_sys_write().

Let's fix the issue by adding FB_GEN_DEFAULT_DEFERRED_DMAMEM_OPS and
FB_DMAMEM_HELPERS_DEFERRED as suggested by Thomas. We cannot use the
FB_DEFAULT_DEFERRED_OPS as fb_deferred_io_mmap() won't work properly
for write-combine.

<title>fbdev: fix incorrect address computation in deferred IO</title>

<id>180214690137025f0e1fa034e8aff1848a3f53c3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 78d9161d2bcd442d93d917339297ffa057dbee8c upstream.

With deferred IO enabled, a page fault happens when data is written to the
framebuffer device. Then driver determines which page is being updated by
calculating the offset of the written virtual address within the virtual
memory area, and uses this offset to get the updated page within the
internal buffer. This page is later copied to hardware (thus the name
"deferred IO").

This offset calculation is only correct if the virtual memory area is
mapped to the beginning of the internal buffer. Otherwise this is wrong.
For example, if users do:
    mmap(ptr, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED, fd, 0xff000);

Then the virtual memory area will mapped at offset 0xff000 within the
internal buffer. This offset 0xff000 is not accounted for, and wrong page
is updated.

Correct the calculation by using vmf-&gt;pgoff instead. With this change, the
variable "offset" will no longer hold the exact offset value, but it is
rounded down to multiples of PAGE_SIZE. But this is still correct, because
this variable is only used to calculate the page offset.

[ Upstream commit c2d953276b8b27459baed1277a4fdd5dd9bd4126 ]

The expression htotal * vtotal can have a zero value on
overflow. It is necessary to prevent division by zero like in
fb_var_to_videomode().

<title>fbcon: always restore the old font data in fbcon_do_set_font()</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit a5a923038d70 (fbdev: fbcon: Properly revert changes when
vc_resize() failed) started restoring old font data upon failure (of
vc_resize()). But it performs so only for user fonts. It means that the
"system"/internal fonts are not restored at all. So in result, the very
first call to fbcon_do_set_font() performs no restore at all upon
failing vc_resize().

This can be reproduced by Syzkaller to crash the system on the next
invocation of font_get(). It's rather hard to hit the allocation failure
in vc_resize() on the first font_set(), but not impossible. Esp. if
fault injection is used to aid the execution/failure. It was
demonstrated by Sirius:
  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffffffffffff8
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page

So restore the font data in any case, not only for user fonts. Note the
later 'if' is now protected by 'old_userfont' and not 'old_data' as the
latter is always set now. (And it is supposed to be non-NULL. Otherwise
we would see the bug above again.)

If the boot logo does not fit, a message is printed, including a wrong
function name prefix.  Instead of correcting the function name (or using
__func__), just use "fbcon", like is done in several other messages.

While at it, modernize the call by switching to pr_info().

After removal of the legacy EEPROM driver and I2C_CLASS_DDC support in
olpc_dcon there's no i2c client driver left supporting I2C_CLASS_DDC.
Class-based device auto-detection is a legacy mechanism and shouldn't
be used in new code. So we can remove this class completely now.

Pull fbdev updates from Helge Deller:
 "Three fbdev drivers (~8500 lines of code) removed. The Carillo Ranch
  fbdev driver is for an Intel product which was never shipped, and for
  the intelfb and the amba-clcd drivers the drm drivers can be used
  instead.

  The other code changes are minor: some fb_deferred_io flushing fixes,
  imxfb margin fixes and stifb cleanups.

  Summary:
   - Remove intelfb fbdev driver (Thomas Zimmermann)
   - Remove amba-clcd fbdev driver (Linus Walleij)
   - Remove vmlfb Carillo Ranch fbdev driver (Matthew Wilcox)
   - fb_deferred_io flushing fixes (Nam Cao)
   - imxfb code fixes and cleanups (Dario Binacchi)
   - stifb primary screen detection cleanups (Thomas Zimmermann)"

<title>fbdev: flush deferred IO before closing</title>

When framebuffer gets closed, the queued deferred IO gets cancelled. This
can cause some last display data to vanish. This is problematic for users
who send a still image to the framebuffer, then close the file: the image
may never appear.

To ensure none of display data get lost, flush the queued deferred IO
first before closing.

Another possible solution is to delete the cancel_delayed_work_sync()
instead. The difference is that the display may appear some time after
closing. However, the clearing of page mapping after this needs to be
removed too, because the page mapping is used by the deferred work. It is
not completely obvious whether it is okay to not clear the page mapping.
For a patch intended for stable trees, go with the simple and obvious
solution.

<title>fbdev: flush deferred work in fb_deferred_io_fsync()</title>

The driver's fsync() is supposed to flush any pending operation to
hardware. It is implemented in this driver by cancelling the queued
deferred IO first, then schedule it for "immediate execution" by calling
schedule_delayed_work() again with delay=0. However, setting delay=0
only means the work is scheduled immediately, it does not mean the work
is executed immediately. There is no guarantee that the work is finished
after schedule_delayed_work() returns. After this driver's fsync()
returns, there can still be pending work. Furthermore, if close() is
called by users immediately after fsync(), the pending work gets
cancelled and fsync() may do nothing.

To ensure that the deferred IO completes, use flush_delayed_work()
instead. Write operations to this driver either write to the device
directly, or invoke schedule_delayed_work(); so by flushing the
workqueue, it can be guaranteed that all previous writes make it to the
device.
