2026-08-22vt: hide cursor prior to font changes to avoid out-of-bound readsHelge Deller
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.

2026-05-22vt: merge ucs_is_zero_width()/ucs_is_double_width() into ucs_get_width()Nicolas Pitre
The hot path in vc_process_ucs() asks two independent questions about the same code point -- "is it double-width?" and "is it zero-width?" -- and was answering each with its own bsearch over its own table. For anything past the leading bounds check that meant two scans of the BMP width tables back to back for what is logically a single lookup. Replace both with one ucs_get_width(cp) returning 0, 1, or 2 in a single bsearch, while keeping the total table footprint at the same 2384 B as before. To do so, merge the zero-width and double-width ranges per region into one sorted-by-`first` table. BMP entries stay 4 bytes; per-entry width is hosted in spare bits of the non-BMP table's `last` field. Non-BMP code points use only 20 of 32 bits, so each u32 has 12 unused high bits. Store first/last shifted left by 12 and use the low 12 bits of `last` for metadata: bit 11 is this entry's own width flag, bits 0..7 host an 8-bit chunk of the BMP double-width bitmap. Because the metadata bits sit strictly below the lowest cp-scale bit, the bsearch comparator remains a plain u32 compare on shifted keys with no masking. In vc_process_ucs() the overwhelmingly common single-width path now collapses to a single predicted branch: if (likely(w == 1)) return 1; Note: scripts/checkpatch.pl complains about "Macros with complex values should be enclosed in parentheses" for the BMP_*WIDTH and RANGE_*WIDTH macros. They are deliberately defined to expand to a comma-separated (first, last) pair so they can populate the two adjacent fields of a struct initializer; wrapping them in parentheses would turn that into a comma-expression and defeat the whole construction.

2026-05-20console: mdacon: remove this obsolete driverEthan Nelson-Moore
The mdacon driver supports using ISA MDA or Hercules-compatible display adapters as a secondary text console. This was commonly used in the 1990s and earlier for debugging software which took over the primary display. It is highly unlikely anyone is doing so nowadays because serial consoles and much better methods of debugging exist. The driver is not enabled by any defconfig, nor any of the dozens of distro configs collected at [1]. It has been relegated to VTs 13-16 since commit 0b9cf3aa6b1e ("mdacon messing up default vc's - set default to vc13-16 again") in Linux 2.6.27 (and before Linux 2.5.53 - see the link in the message of the above commit). The change in 2.6.27 was done because it was incorrectly detecting non-MDA adapters as MDA and taking over all VTs, rendering them unusable. Furthermore, vgacon supports using MDA/Hercules-compatible adapters as the primary text console, so any systems with only one of these adapters were already using vgacon and will not experience any loss in functionality from the removal of this driver. Given all of these factors, the mdacon driver is likely entirely unused. Remove it.

2026-03-30vt: resize saved unicode buffer on alt screen exit after resizeNicolas Pitre
Instead of discarding the saved unicode buffer when the console was resized while in the alternate screen, resize it to the current dimensions using vc_uniscr_copy_area() to preserve its content. This properly restores the unicode screen on alt screen exit rather than lazily rebuilding it from a lossy reverse glyph translation. On allocation failure the stale buffer is freed and vc_uni_lines is set to NULL so it gets lazily rebuilt via vc_uniscr_check() when next needed.

2026-03-30vt: discard stale unicode buffer on alt screen exit after resizeLiav Mordouch
When enter_alt_screen() saves vc_uni_lines into vc_saved_uni_lines and sets vc_uni_lines to NULL, a subsequent console resize via vc_do_resize() skips reallocating the unicode buffer because vc_uni_lines is NULL. However, vc_saved_uni_lines still points to the old buffer allocated for the original dimensions. When leave_alt_screen() later restores vc_saved_uni_lines, the buffer dimensions no longer match vc_rows/vc_cols. Any operation that iterates over the unicode buffer using the current dimensions (e.g. csi_J clearing the screen) will access memory out of bounds, causing a kernel oops: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0x0000002000000020 RIP: 0010:csi_J+0x133/0x2d0 The faulting address 0x0000002000000020 is two adjacent u32 space characters (0x20) interpreted as a pointer, read from the row data area past the end of the 25-entry pointer array in a buffer allocated for 80x25 but accessed with 240x67 dimensions. Fix this by checking whether the console dimensions changed while in the alternate screen. If they did, free the stale saved buffer instead of restoring it. The unicode screen will be lazily rebuilt via vc_uniscr_check() when next needed.

2026-03-12vt: support ITU-T T.416 color subparametersRonan Pigott
The colon ("bit combination 03/10") is a valid character in parameter substrings. ECMA-48 says: Each parameter sub-string consists of one or more bit combinations from 03/00 to 03/10; the bit combinations from 03/00 to 03/09 represent the digits ZERO to NINE; bit combination 03/10 may be used as a separator in a parameter sub-string, for example, to separate the fractional part of a decimal number from the integer part of that number. To my knowledge, the only codes where 03/10 is actually used as a separator are the CSI-m SGR sequences. The colon separated format is superior as an embedded string for software that doesn't wish to link ncurses terminal database, because terminals that do not support the requested SGR sequence can safely skip the sub-parameters rather than misinterpret them as another sequence. Hence, some software have started using this "modern" format [1]. We should support the colon separated format as well.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
2026-02-14printk, vt, fbcon: Remove console_conditional_schedule()Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
do_con_write(), fbcon_redraw.*() invoke console_conditional_schedule() which is a conditional scheduling point based on printk's internal variables console_may_schedule. It may only be used if the console lock is acquired for instance via console_lock() or console_trylock(). Prinkt sets the internal variable to 1 (and allows to schedule) if the console lock has been acquired via console_lock(). The trylock does not allow it. The console_conditional_schedule() invocation in do_con_write() is invoked shortly before console_unlock(). The console_conditional_schedule() invocation in fbcon_redraw.*() original from fbcon_scroll() / vt's con_scroll() which originate from a line feed. In console_unlock() the variable is set to 0 (forbids to schedule) and it tries to schedule while making progress printing. This is brand new compared to when console_conditional_schedule() was added in v2.4.9.11. In v2.6.38-rc3, console_unlock() (started its existence) iterated over all consoles and flushed them with disabled interrupts. A scheduling attempt here was not possible, it relied that a long print scheduled before console_unlock(). Since commit 8d91f8b15361d ("printk: do cond_resched() between lines while outputting to consoles"), which appeared in v4.5-rc1, console_unlock() attempts to schedule if it was allowed to schedule while during console_lock(). Each record is idealy one line so after every line feed. This console_conditional_schedule() is also only relevant on PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY builds. In other configurations cond_resched() becomes a nop and has no impact. I'm bringing this all up just proof that it is not required anymore. It becomes a problem on a PREEMPT_RT build with debug code enabled because that might_sleep() in cond_resched() remains and triggers a warnings. This is due to legacy_kthread_func-> console_flush_one_record -> vt_console_print-> lf -> con_scroll -> fbcon_scroll and vt_console_print() acquires a spinlock_t which does not allow a voluntary schedule. There is no need to fb_scroll() to schedule since console_flush_one_record() attempts to schedule after each line. !PREEMPT_RT is not affected because the legacy printing thread is only enabled on PREEMPT_RT builds. Therefore I suggest to remove console_conditional_schedule().

2025-09-06vt: add support for smput/rmput escape codesCalixte Pernot
Support "\e[?1049h" and "\e[?1049l" escape codes. This patch allows programs to enter and leave alternate screens. This feature is widely available in graphical terminal emulators and mostly used by fullscreen terminal-based user interfaces such as text editors. Most editors such as vim and nano assume this escape code in not supported and will not try to print the escape sequence if TERM=linux. To try out this patch, run `TERM=xterm-256color vim` inside a VT.

Having all the new guards, use them in the vt code. This improves readability, makes error handling easier, and marks locked portions of code explicit. A local free_page_ptr __free guard is introduced for __get_free_page/free_page (with proper casts). This could be made public in include/. But I am not sure if there are more possible users, so keeping completely private here.

This is comprised of 3 aspects: - Take note of when applications advertise bracketed paste support via "\e[?2004h" and "\e[?2004l". - Insert bracketed paste markers ("\e[200~" and "\e[201~") around pasted content in paste_selection() when bracketed paste is active. - Add TIOCL_GETBRACKETEDPASTE to return bracketed paste status so user space daemons implementing cut-and-paste functionality (e.g. gpm, BRLTTY) may know when to insert bracketed paste markers.

2025-04-26vt: properly support zero-width Unicode code pointsNicolas Pitre
Zero-width Unicode code points are causing misalignment in vertically aligned content, disrupting the visual layout. Let's handle zero-width code points more intelligently. Double-width code points are stored in the screen grid followed by a white space code point to create the expected screen layout. When a double-width code point is followed by a zero-width code point in the console incoming bytestream (e.g., an emoji with a presentation selector) then we may replace the white space padding by that zero-width code point instead of dropping it. This maximize screen content information while preserving proper layout. If a zero-width code point is preceded by a single-width code point then the above trick is not possible and such zero-width code point must be dropped. VS16 (Variation Selector 16, U+FE0F) is special as it typically doubles the width of the preceding single-width code point. We handle that case by giving VS16 a width of 1 instead of 0 when that happens.
