commit 02625c965239b71869326dd0461615f27307ecb3 upstream.

The return value of hga_card_detect() is not properly handled causing
the probe to succeed even though hga_card_detect() failed. Since probe
succeeds, hgafb_open() can be called which will end up operating on an
unmapped hga_vram. This results in an out-of-bounds access as reported
by kernel test robot [1].

To fix this, correctly detect failure of hga_card_detect() by checking
for a non-zero error code.

commit dc13cac4862cc68ec74348a80b6942532b7735fa upstream.

The return of ioremap if not checked, and can lead to a NULL to be
assigned to hga_vram. Potentially leading to a NULL pointer
dereference.

The fix adds code to deal with this case in the error label and
changes how the hgafb_probe handles the return of hga_card_detect.

commit ed04fe8a0e87d7b5ea17d47f4ac9ec962b24814a upstream.

This reverts commit 1d84353d205a953e2381044953b7fa31c8c9702d.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The original commit here, while technically correct, did not fully
handle all of the reported issues that the commit stated it was fixing,
so revert it until it can be "fixed" fully.

Note, ioremap() probably will never fail for old hardware like this, and
if anyone actually used this hardware (a PowerMac era PCI display card),
they would not be using fbdev anymore.

This patch "looks" correct, but the driver keeps on running and will

So points for trying to resolve an issue, but a huge NEGATIVE value for
providing a "fake" fix for the problem as nothing actually got resolved
at all.  I'll go fix this up properly...

commit 19ab233989d0f7ab1de19a036e247afa4a0a1e9c upstream.

Use kzalloc() rather than kmalloc() for the dynamically allocated parts
of the colormap in fb_alloc_cmap_gfp, to prevent a leak of random kernel
data to userspace under certain circumstances.

[ Upstream commit c6c90c70db4d9a0989111d6b994d545659410f7a ]

It looks like SPARC64 requires FB_ATY_CT to build without errors,
so have FB_ATY select FB_ATY_CT if both SPARC64 and PCI are enabled
instead of using "default y if SPARC64 &amp;&amp; PCI", which is not strong
enough to prevent build errors.

As it currently is, FB_ATY_CT can be disabled, resulting in build
errors:

ERROR: modpost: "aty_postdividers" [drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "aty_ld_pll_ct" [drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb.ko] undefined!

<title>video: hyperv_fb: Fix the mmap() regression for v5.4.y and older</title>

<id>452f087d2ff6decf298149e0bfd9fa5c212a636d</id>
<content type='text'>
db49200b1dad is backported from the mainline commit
5f1251a48c17 ("video: hyperv_fb: Fix the cache type when mapping the VRAM"),
to v5.4.y and older stable branches, but unluckily db49200b1dad causes
mmap() to fail for /dev/fb0 due to EINVAL:

[ 5797.049560] x86/PAT: a.out:1910 map pfn expected mapping type
  uncached-minus for [mem 0xf8200000-0xf85cbfff], got write-back

This means the v5.4.y kernel detects an incompatibility issue about the
mapping type of the VRAM: db49200b1dad changes to use Write-Back when
mapping the VRAM, while the mmap() syscall tries to use Uncached-minus.
That’s to say, the kernel thinks Uncached-minus is incompatible with
Write-Back: see drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c: fb_mmap() -&gt;
vm_iomap_memory() -&gt; io_remap_pfn_range() -&gt; ... -&gt; track_pfn_remap() -&gt;
reserve_pfn_range().

Note: any v5.5 and newer kernel doesn't have the issue, because they
have commit
d21987d709e8 ("video: hyperv: hyperv_fb: Support deferred IO for Hyper-V frame buffer driver")
, and when the hyperv_fb driver has the deferred_io support,
fb_deferred_io_init() overrides info-&gt;fbops-&gt;fb_mmap with
fb_deferred_io_mmap(), which doesn’t check the mapping type
incompatibility. Note: since it's VRAM here, the checking is not really
necessary.

Fix the regression by ioremap_wc(), which uses Write-combining. The kernel
thinks it's compatible with Uncached-minus. The VRAM mappped by
ioremap_wc() is slightly slower than mapped by ioremap_cache(), but is
still significantly faster than by ioremap().

Change the comment accordingly. Linux VM on ARM64 Hyper-V is still not
working in the latest mainline yet, and when it works in future, the ARM64
support is unlikely to be backported to v5.4 and older, so using
ioremap_wc() in v5.4 and older should be ok.

Note: this fix is only targeted at the stable branches:
v5.4.y, v4.19.y, v4.14.y, v4.9.y and v4.4.y.

db49200b1dad is backported from the mainline commit
5f1251a48c17 ("video: hyperv_fb: Fix the cache type when mapping the VRAM"),
to v5.4.y and older stable branches, but unluckily db49200b1dad causes
mmap() to fail for /dev/fb0 due to EINVAL:

[ 5797.049560] x86/PAT: a.out:1910 map pfn expected mapping type
  uncached-minus for [mem 0xf8200000-0xf85cbfff], got write-back

This means the v5.4.y kernel detects an incompatibility issue about the
mapping type of the VRAM: db49200b1dad changes to use Write-Back when
mapping the VRAM, while the mmap() syscall tries to use Uncached-minus.
That’s to say, the kernel thinks Uncached-minus is incompatible with
Write-Back: see drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c: fb_mmap() -&gt;
vm_iomap_memory() -&gt; io_remap_pfn_range() -&gt; ... -&gt; track_pfn_remap() -&gt;
reserve_pfn_range().

Note: any v5.5 and newer kernel doesn't have the issue, because they
have commit
d21987d709e8 ("video: hyperv: hyperv_fb: Support deferred IO for Hyper-V frame buffer driver")
, and when the hyperv_fb driver has the deferred_io support,
fb_deferred_io_init() overrides info-&gt;fbops-&gt;fb_mmap with
fb_deferred_io_mmap(), which doesn’t check the mapping type
incompatibility. Note: since it's VRAM here, the checking is not really
necessary.

Fix the regression by ioremap_wc(), which uses Write-combining. The kernel
thinks it's compatible with Uncached-minus. The VRAM mappped by
ioremap_wc() is slightly slower than mapped by ioremap_cache(), but is
still significantly faster than by ioremap().

Change the comment accordingly. Linux VM on ARM64 Hyper-V is still not
working in the latest mainline yet, and when it works in future, the ARM64
support is unlikely to be backported to v5.4 and older, so using
ioremap_wc() in v5.4 and older should be ok.

Note: this fix is only targeted at the stable branches:
v5.4.y, v4.19.y, v4.14.y, v4.9.y and v4.4.y.

[ Upstream commit 5f1251a48c17b54939d7477305e39679a565382c ]

x86 Hyper-V used to essentially always overwrite the effective cache type
of guest memory accesses to WB. This was problematic in cases where there
is a physical device assigned to the VM, since that often requires that
the VM should have control over cache types. Thus, on newer Hyper-V since
2018, Hyper-V always honors the VM's cache type, but unexpectedly Linux VM
users start to complain that Linux VM's VRAM becomes very slow, and it
turns out that Linux VM should not map the VRAM uncacheable by ioremap().
Fix this slowness issue by using ioremap_cache().

On ARM64, ioremap_cache() is also required as the host also maps the VRAM
cacheable, otherwise VM Connect can't display properly with ioremap() or
ioremap_wc().

With this change, the VRAM on new Hyper-V is as fast as regular RAM, so
it's no longer necessary to use the hacks we added to mitigate the
slowness, i.e. we no longer need to allocate physical memory and use
it to back up the VRAM in Generation-1 VM, and we also no longer need to
allocate physical memory to back up the framebuffer in a Generation-2 VM
and copy the framebuffer to the real VRAM. A further big change will
address these for v5.11.

[ Upstream commit 8e1ba47c60bcd325fdd097cd76054639155e5d2e ]

clang static analysis reports this repesentative error

  is an uninitialized value [core.CallAndMessage]
        if (*cable_arg)

Problem is that cable_arg depends on the input loop to
set the cable_arg[0].  If it does not, then some random
value from the stack is used.

A similar problem exists for output_arg.

So initialize cable_arg and output_arg.

      templ |= ((queuedata[i] &amp; 0xc0) &lt;&lt; 3);

queuedata is not set in the else block

Reviewing the old code, the arrays FQBQData730 and FQBQData were
used directly.

So hoist the setting of queuedata out of the if-else block.
