[ Upstream commit 9cf14f5a2746c19455ce9cb44341b5527b5e19c3 ]

The values of the variables xres and yres are placed in strbuf.
These variables are obtained from strbuf1.
The strbuf1 array contains digit characters
and a space if the array contains non-digit characters.
Then, when executing sprintf(strbuf, "%ux%ux8", xres, yres);
more than 16 bytes will be written to strbuf.
It is suggested to increase the size of the strbuf array to 24.

<title>fbcon: Fix a NULL pointer dereference issue in fbcon_putcs</title>

[ Upstream commit 5b97eebcce1b4f3f07a71f635d6aa3af96c236e7 ]

syzbot has found a NULL pointer dereference bug in fbcon.
Here is the simplified C reproducer:

struct param {
	uint8_t type;
	struct tiocl_selection ts;
};

int main()
{
	struct fb_con2fbmap con2fb;
	struct param param;

	int fd = open("/dev/fb1", 0, 0);

	con2fb.console = 0x19;
	con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
	ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &amp;con2fb);

	param.type = 2;
	param.ts.xs = 0; param.ts.ys = 0;
	param.ts.xe = 0; param.ts.ye = 0;
	param.ts.sel_mode = 0;

	int fd1 = open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR, 0);
	ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, &amp;param);

	con2fb.console = 1;
	con2fb.framebuffer = 0;
	ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &amp;con2fb);

	return 0;
}

After calling ioctl(fd1, TIOCLINUX, &amp;param), the subsequent ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP, &amp;con2fb)
causes the kernel to follow a different execution path:

 set_con2fb_map
  -&gt; con2fb_init_display
   -&gt; fbcon_set_disp
    -&gt; redraw_screen
     -&gt; hide_cursor
      -&gt; clear_selection
       -&gt; highlight
        -&gt; invert_screen
         -&gt; do_update_region
          -&gt; fbcon_putcs
           -&gt; ops-&gt;putcs

Since ops-&gt;putcs is a NULL pointer, this leads to a kernel panic.
To prevent this, we need to call set_blitting_type() within set_con2fb_map()
to properly initialize ops-&gt;putcs.

<title>fbdev: pxafb: Fix possible use after free in pxafb_task()</title>

<id>fdda354f60a576d52dcf90351254714681df4370</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4a6921095eb04a900e0000da83d9475eb958e61e ]

In the pxafb_probe function, it calls the pxafb_init_fbinfo function,
after which &amp;fbi-&gt;task is associated with pxafb_task. Moreover,
within this pxafb_init_fbinfo function, the pxafb_blank function
within the &amp;pxafb_ops struct is capable of scheduling work.

If we remove the module which will call pxafb_remove to make cleanup,
it will call unregister_framebuffer function which can call
do_unregister_framebuffer to free fbi-&gt;fb through
put_fb_info(fb_info), while the work mentioned above will be used.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:

CPU0                                                CPU1

                                   | pxafb_task
pxafb_remove                       |
unregister_framebuffer(info)       |
do_unregister_framebuffer(fb_info) |
put_fb_info(fb_info)               |
// free fbi-&gt;fb                    | set_ctrlr_state(fbi, state)
                                   | __pxafb_lcd_power(fbi, 0)
                                   | fbi-&gt;lcd_power(on, &amp;fbi-&gt;fb.var)
                                   | //use fbi-&gt;fb

Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding
with the cleanup in pxafb_remove.

Note that only root user can remove the driver at runtime.

The driver core can register and cleanup sysfs groups already.
Make use of that functionality to simplify the error handling and
cleanup.

Also avoid a UAF race during unregistering where the sysctl attributes

<title>fbdev: vesafb: Detect VGA compatibility from screen info's VESA attributes</title>

[ Upstream commit c2bc958b2b03e361f14df99983bc64a39a7323a3 ]

Test the vesa_attributes field in struct screen_info for compatibility
with VGA hardware. Vesafb currently tests bit 1 in screen_info's
capabilities field which indicates a 64-bit lfb address and is
unrelated to VGA compatibility.

Section 4.4 of the Vesa VBE 2.0 specifications defines that bit 5 in
the mode's attributes field signals VGA compatibility. The mode is
compatible with VGA hardware if the bit is clear. In that case, the
driver can access VGA state of the VBE's underlying hardware. The
vesafb driver uses this feature to program the color LUT in palette
modes. Without, colors might be incorrect.

The problem got introduced in commit 89ec4c238e7a ("[PATCH] vesafb: Fix
incorrect logo colors in x86_64"). It incorrectly stores the mode
attributes in the screen_info's capabilities field and updates vesafb
accordingly. Later, commit 5e8ddcbe8692 ("Video mode probing support for
the new x86 setup code") fixed the screen_info, but did not update vesafb.
Color output still tends to work, because bit 1 in capabilities is
usually 0.

Besides fixing the bug in vesafb, this commit introduces a helper that
reads the correct bit from screen_info.

[ Upstream commit 78aa89d1dfba1e3cf4a2e053afa3b4c4ec622371 ]

On ARM PCI systems, the PCI hierarchy might be reconfigured during
boot and the firmware framebuffer might move as a result of that.
The values in screen_info will then be invalid.

Work around this problem by tracking the framebuffer's initial
location before it get relocated; then fix the screen_info state
between reloaction and creating the firmware framebuffer's device.

This functionality has been lifted from efifb. See the commit message
of commit 55d728a40d36 ("efi/fb: Avoid reconfiguration of BAR that
covers the framebuffer") for more information.

[ Upstream commit 036105e3a776b6fc2fe0d262896a23ff2cc2e6b1 ]

Add screen_info_get_pci_dev() to find the PCI device of an instance
of screen_info. Does nothing on systems without PCI bus.

v3:
	* search PCI device with pci_get_base_class() (Sui)
v2:
	* remove ret from screen_info_pci_dev() (Javier)

<title>video: Add helpers for decoding screen_info</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 75fa9b7e375e35739663cde0252d31e586c6314a ]

The plain values as stored in struct screen_info need to be decoded
before being used. Add helpers that decode the type of video output
and the framebuffer I/O aperture.

Old or non-x86 systems may not set the type of video directly, but
only indicate the presence by storing 0x01 in orig_video_isVGA. The
decoding logic in screen_info_video_type() takes this into account.
It then follows similar code in vgacon's vgacon_startup() to detect
the video type from the given values.

A call to screen_info_resources() returns all known resources of the
given screen_info. The resources' values have been taken from existing
code in vgacon and vga16fb. These drivers can later be converted to
use the new interfaces.

v2:
	* return ssize_t from screen_info_resources()
	* don't call __screen_info_has_lfb() unnecessarily

Get the global screen_info's address once and access the data via
this pointer. Limits the use of global state.
