Commit f8df13e0a9 ("tty: Clean console safely") added code to clear
both the scrollback buffer and the screen with "\e[3J", then execution
falls through into the code to simply clear the screen. This means
scr_memsetw() and the console driver update callback are called twice
on the whole screen buffer. Let's reorganize the code so the same work
is not performed twice needlessly.

Tabs on a console with long lines do not wrap properly, so correctly
account for the line length when computing the tab placement location.

ECMA-48 [1] (aka ISO 6429) has defined SGR 21 as "doubly underlined"
since at least March 1984.  The Linux kernel has treated it as SGR 22
"normal intensity" since it was added in Linux-0.96b in June 1992.
Before that, it was simply ignored.  Other terminal emulators have
either ignored it, or treat it as double underline now.  xterm for
example added support in its 304 release (May 2014) [2] where it was
previously ignoring it.

Changing this behavior shouldn't be an issue:
- It isn't a named capability in ncurses's terminfo database, so no
  script is using libtinfo/libcurses to look this up, or using tput
  to query &amp; output the right sequence.
- Any script assuming SGR 21 will reset intensity in all terminals
  already do not work correctly on non-Linux VTs (including running
  under screen/tmux/etc...).
- If someone has written a script that only runs in the Linux VT, and
  they're using SGR 21 (instead of SGR 22), the output should still
  be readable.

imo it's important to change this as the Linux VT's non-conformance
is sometimes used as an argument for other terminal emulators to not
implement SGR 21 at all, or do so incorrectly.

This changes all DEFINE_TIMER() callbacks to use a struct timer_list
pointer instead of unsigned long. Since the data argument has already been
removed, none of these callbacks are using their argument currently, so
this renames the argument to "unused".

Done using the following semantic patch:

@match_define_timer@
declarer name DEFINE_TIMER;
identifier _timer, _callback;
@@

 DEFINE_TIMER(_timer, _callback);

@change_callback depends on match_define_timer@
identifier match_define_timer._callback;

<content type='text'>
It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the drivers/tty files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

<title>tty: vt: remove multi-fetch, derive font.height from font.data</title>

<id>8ffb82094be8ade4f5e60996edcc8afbbcb4f1f4</id>
<content type='text'>
In con_font_set(), when we need to guess font height (for
compat reasons?), the current approach uses multiple userspace
fetches, i.e., get_user(tmp, &amp;charmap[32*i+h-1]), to derive
the height. This has two drawbacks:

1. performance: accessing userspace memory is less efficient than
directly de-reference the byte

2. security: a more critical problem is that the height derived
might not match with the actual font.data. This is because a user
thread might race condition to change the memory of op-&gt;data after
the op-&gt;height guessing but before the second fetch: font.data =
memdup_user(op-&gt;data, size). Leaving font.height = 32 while the
actual height is 1 or vice-versa.

This patch tries to resolve both issues by re-locating the height
guessing part after the font.data is fetched in. In this way, the
userspace data is fetched in one shot and we directly dereference
the font.data in kernel space to probe for the height.

Drop the arguments from the macro and adjust all callers with the
following script:

  perl -pi -e 's/DEFINE_TIMER\((.*), 0, 0\);/DEFINE_TIMER($1);/g;' \
    $(git grep DEFINE_TIMER | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | grep -v timer.h)
