treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversions

2026-09-05T04:37:00+00:00

This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc() family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's "--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control flow indicator I could find. Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc, riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

vt: hide cursor prior to font changes to avoid out-of-bound reads

2026-08-22T07:33:45+00:00

KASAN reports slab-out-of-bounds errors: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in soft_cursor+0x3eb/0xb70 drivers/video/fbdev/core/softcursor.c:70 When changing the size of a sceen font, the amount of columns and rows on a screen may change and thus the current position of the cursor and the selection may suddenly lay outside of the current screen limits. Clear the selection and hide the cursor before any font changes to avoid such possible out of bounds accesses.

vt: add permission check for KDSKBMETA ioctl

2026-08-03T14:31:14+00:00

KDSKBMETA modifies keyboard meta mode but lacks the !perm check that all other keyboard setter ioctls in vt_k_ioctl() enforce, allowing a process to change meta mode on a non-controlling console without authorization.

vt: stabilize tty reference in kbd_keycode with tty_port_tty_get

2026-08-03T14:31:12+00:00

kbd_keycode() reads vc->port.tty without acquiring a tty reference, racing against con_shutdown() which clears port.tty under a different lock. Use tty_port_tty_get()/tty_kref_put() to hold a proper reference for the duration the tty pointer is needed.

vt: add mode validation in vt_setactivate

2026-07-31T13:17:23+00:00

The vt_setactivate() function accepts any mode value without validation, while VT_SETMODE correctly rejects invalid values (only VT_AUTO and VT_PROCESS are valid). This allows users to set invalid mode values (e.g., 0xFF) which bypasses VT_PROCESS signal handling and causes undefined VT switching behavior. Fix this by adding the same validation as VT_SETMODE.

vt: fix spurious modifier in CSI/cursor key sequences

2026-07-10T12:46:00+00:00

csi_modifier_param() builds the xterm modifier parameter from shift_state, counting KG_SHIFTL/KG_SHIFTR as Shift, KG_ALTGR as Alt and KG_CTRLL/KG_CTRLR as Ctrl in addition to the canonical KG_SHIFT, KG_ALT and KG_CTRL. That is wrong when those weights are not plain modifiers. Keymaps derived from XKB layouts (by kbd's xkbsupport, and by the console-setup used in Debian, Ubuntu and others) encode the active layout group using KG_SHIFTL/KG_SHIFTR: group 1: - group 2: shiftl group 3: shiftr group 4: shiftl | shiftr So while a non-default layout group is selected, KG_SHIFTL and/or KG_SHIFTR are set in shift_state with no Shift key held. csi_modifier_param() then adds a spurious Shift to every cursor and CSI key: pressing Up while group 2 is active emits ESC[1;2A (Shift+Up) instead of ESC[A. KG_ALTGR has the same problem since it is the standard third-level selector. Normal keymaps bind the physical Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys to KG_SHIFT, KG_CTRL and KG_ALT, leaving the left/right and AltGr weights free for layout and level selection. Count only those canonical weights, so genuine modifiers are still encoded while layout/level selectors are not.

vc_screen: replace __get_free_pages() with kmalloc()

2026-07-07T15:22:11+00:00

vcs_read() and vcs_write() allocate staging buffers with __get_free_pages(). These buffers can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special about them to go directly to the page allocator. kmalloc() provides a better API that does not require ugly casts and it's a modern way of saying "I need a page-sized buffer" Replace use of __get_free_page() with kmalloc() and drop unused now DEFINE_FREE(free_page_ptr ...)
