[ Upstream commit 7b5c7bc55e13e7f5ac7b1eaf5c6d690389ea5ee3 ]

The overlay viewport end coordinates are computed from the viewport
origin and dimensions using 32-bit unsigned arithmetic. Large input
values can cause these calculations to wrap around before the resulting
coordinates are passed to SetOverlayViewPort().

SetOverlayViewPort() packs the viewport coordinates into 16-bit
register fields. The X coordinates are additionally adjusted by +2
and +1 before being written. Validate the coordinate calculations
for 32-bit wraparound and ensure that the adjusted coordinates fit
within their 16-bit register fields before calling
SetOverlayViewPort().

commit de8db23aa7c337e606fca9faf48b3ba72968597a upstream.

uvesafb_init() registers the v86d connector callback before registering
the platform driver. If platform_driver_register() fails, the function
returns the error directly and leaves the connector callback registered.

The later platform-device failure path already unregisters the callback.
Add the same cleanup before the final return when platform-driver
registration fails.

This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.

commit 5dc2e70dd74b1f03e2e13bfb6922111d9e0adf90 upstream.

Add __user annotation to buf, as it is passed as a user pointer in
pin_user_pages_fast(). Use an empty initializer for the sentinel
board-table entry to avoid initializing a function pointer with an
integer literal.

commit f8e43fe0f22b7137ce456e6fe3581d3098174f74 upstream.

dsicm_probe() registers the display before initializing ddata-&gt;lock.
Once omapdss_register_display() publishes the display, another consumer
can reach a dsicm callback that takes this mutex while it is still
uninitialized.

Initialize the mutex before registering the display so the published
callbacks always see a valid lock.

[ Upstream commit 84202754fb1727dc3ee87f47104e4162ecc8ba3a ]

The return value of vc_resize() is int, but fbcon_set_disp() stores it
in an unsigned long variable. While the !ret check happens to work
correctly by coincidence (negative values become large positive values),
the types should match. Use int instead.

Eliminates the following W=3 warning:

  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c: In function 'fbcon_set_disp':
  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:1494:14: warning: implicit conversion from 'int' to 'unsigned long' [-Wconversion]

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a6adbbc4c32a016146e117b1e9e5242724a75e10 ]

The type struct fbcon_ops contains fbcon state and callbacks. As the
callbacks will be removed from struct fbcon_ops, rename the data type
to struct fbcon_par. Also rename the variables from ops to par.

The _par postfix ("private access registers") is used throughout the
fbdev subsystem for per-driver state. The fbcon pointer within struct
fb_info is also named fbcon_par. Hence, the new naming fits existing
practice.

v2:
- rename struct fbcon_ops to struct fbcon_par
- fix build for CONFIG_FB_TILEBITTING=n (kernel test robot)
- fix indention

<title>fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_cursor()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:46336f476484f36145e5117e72d7b590f47433ee</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e033cbf3975a8465f879ebd5989dc35b04423a4d upstream.

bit_cursor() fetches the glyph under the cursor with

	c = scr_readw(vc_pos);
	src = vc_font.data + ((c &amp; charmask) * w * height);

where charmask is 0x1ff when vc_hi_font_mask is set. The screen buffer
value comes directly from scr_readw() and may be larger than the current
font's glyph count.

Syzkaller triggers this via vcs_write(). The Call Trace shows
vcs_write() in vc_screen.c writing an arbitrary 16-bit value with
writev() to /dev/vcsa, which vcs_write_buf() in vc_screen.c stores via
vcs_scr_writew() without checking charcount. The stored value is later
read in bit_cursor() in bitblit.c.

When the font is changed from a font with 512 glyphs to a font with
256 glyphs, the screen buffer can retain characters with the high
bit set from the previous mode, which could also produce the same
out-of-bounds access.

  BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in soft_cursor+0x378/0x6bc drivers/video/fbdev/core/softcursor.c:70
  Read of size 16 at addr ffff800086c57970

  Call Trace:
   soft_cursor+0x378/0x6bc drivers/video/fbdev/core/softcursor.c:70
   bit_cursor+0xa90/0x1108 drivers/video/fbdev/core/bitblit.c:365

   update_region+0x100/0x18c drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:669
   vcs_write+0x8ec/0xaf0 drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c:685

bit_putcs_aligned() and bit_putcs_unaligned() already clamp the glyph
index to vc_font.charcount. Apply the same clamp in bit_cursor() after
extracting the attribute and masking, before indexing fontdata.

The fix completes the bounds checking started in commit 18c4ef4e765a
("fbdev: bitblit: bound-check glyph index in bit_putcs*"), which missed
the cursor path.

This change should be safe because the clamp reuses the existing
contract from fbcon: charcount is maintained under console_lock in
con_font_set() and fbcon_font_set(), and hi_font_mask is cleared when
switching from 512 to 256 glyphs. When stale screen data with high bits
remains after a font switch, or when vcs_write() stores an arbitrary
value, clamping the index to 0 prevents the out-of-bounds read without
changing cursor semantics — the same fallback bit_putcs uses.
