<title>tty: vt_ioctl: fix potential Spectre v1</title>

<content type='text'>
vsa.console is indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

drivers/tty/vt/vt_ioctl.c:711 vt_ioctl() warn: potential spectre issue
'vc_cons' [r]

Fix this by sanitizing vsa.console before using it to index vc_cons

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:

  for those using braille terminals.

  All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no
  reported issues"

Pull LED updates from Jacek Anaszewski:
 "LED triggers improvements make the biggest part of this pull request.
  The most striking ones, that allowed for nice cleanups in the triggers
  are:

   - centralized handling of creation and removal of trigger sysfs
     attributes via attribute group

   - addition of module_led_trigger() helper

  The other things that need to be mentioned:

  New features and improvements to existing LED class drivers:

   - lt3593: add DT support, switch to gpiod interface

   - lm3692x: support LED sync configuration, change OF calls to fwnode
     calls

   - apu: modify PC Engines apu/apu2 driver to support apu3

  Change in the drivers/net/can/led.c:

   - mark led trigger as broken since it's in the way for the further
     cleanups. It implements a subset of the netdev trigger and an Ack
     is needed from someone who can actually test and confirm that the
     netdev trigger works for can devices"

The nr argument is typically small: most often nr == 1. However this
could be abused with a very large explicit scroll in a resized screen.
Make the code scroll lines by performing an array rotation operation to
avoid the need for a large temporary space.

This preserves whatever was written even if we can't currently display the
given glyph.  Mouse paste won't corrupt any character of wcwidth() == 1
anymore.

Note that for now uniscr doesn't get allocated until something reads
/dev/vcsuN for that console, making this code dormant for most users.

Given that activating a trigger can fail, let the callback return an
indication. This prevents to have a trigger active according to the
"trigger" sysfs attribute but not functional.

All users are changed accordingly to return 0 for now. There is no intended
change in behaviour.
