vgacon, arch/*: remove unused screen_info definitions

2023-10-17T08:17:02+00:00

A number of architectures either kept the screen_info definition for
historical purposes as it used to be required by the generic VT code, or
they copied it from another architecture in order to build the VGA console
driver in an allmodconfig build. The mips definition is used by some
platforms, but the initialization on jazz is not needed.

Now that vgacon no longer builds on these architectures, remove the
stale definitions and initializations.

nios2: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy

2023-06-13T21:51:49+00:00

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

NIOS2: setup.c: drop unused variable 'dram_start'

2021-09-27T13:34:54+00:00

This is a nuisance when CONFIG_WERROR is set, so drop the variable
declaration since the code that used it was removed.

../arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c: In function 'setup_arch':
../arch/nios2/kernel/setup.c:152:13: warning: unused variable 'dram_start' [-Wunused-variable]

nios2: Don't use _end for calculating min_low_pfn

2021-02-19T07:02:09+00:00

If there is a initramfs linked into the kernel which will be
freed later on there is free memory somewhere between _etext
and _end, thus using _end for min_low_pfn is not correct.
This may lead to issues in dma_capable when checking
'min(addr, end) < phys_to_dma(dev, PFN_PHYS(min_low_pfn)))'
as the address addr might be below min_low_pfn. Picked
find_limits from architecture arm for applying min_low_pfn and
max_low_pfn. Maybe using _etext for min_low_pfn would be
fine too.

nios2: force the string buffer NULL-terminated

2019-09-20T06:55:57+00:00

strncpy() does not ensure NULL-termination when the input string
size equals to the destination buffer size COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
Besides, grep under arch/ with 'boot_command_line' shows
no other arch-specific code uses strncpy() when copying
boot_command_line.

Use strlcpy() instead.

This issue is identified by a Coccinelle script.

Move remaining definitions and declarations from include/linux/bootmem.h
into include/linux/memblock.h and remove the redundant header.

The includes were replaced with the semantic patch below and then
semi-automated removal of duplicated '#include
