vt: defkeymap: Map keycodes above 127 to K_HOLE

2025-08-28T14:28:33+00:00

commit b43cb4ff85da5cf29c4cd351ef1d7dd8210780f7 upstream. The maximum number of keycodes got bumped to 256 a very long time ago, but the default keymaps were never adjusted to match. This is causing the kernel to interpret keycodes above 127 as U+0000 if the shipped generated keymap is used. Fix this by mapping all keycodes above 127 to K_HOLE so the kernel ignores them. The contents of this patche were generated by rerunning `loadkeys --mktable --unicode` and only including the changes to map keycodes above 127 to K_HOLE.

vt: keyboard: Don't process Unicode characters in K_OFF mode

2025-08-28T14:28:33+00:00

commit b1cc2092ea7a52e2c435aee6d2b1bcb773202663 upstream. We don't process Unicode characters if the virtual terminal is in raw mode, so there's no reason why we shouldn't do the same for K_OFF (especially since people would expect K_OFF to actually turn off all VT key processing).

tty: vt: make consw::con_switch() return a bool

2025-07-06T09:00:10+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8d5cc8eed738e3202379722295c626cba0849785 ] The non-zero (true) return value from consw::con_switch() means a redraw is needed. So make this return type a bool explicitly instead of int. The latter might imply that -Eerrors are expected. They are not. And document the hook.

[ Upstream commit 559f01a0ee6d924c6fec3eaf6a5b078b15e71070 ] In consw::con_clear(): * Height is always 1, so drop it. * Offsets and width are always unsigned values, so re-type them as such. This needs a new __fbcon_clear() in the fbcon code to still handle height which might not be 1 when called internally.

vt: prevent kernel-infoleak in con_font_get()

2024-10-22T13:46:31+00:00

commit f956052e00de211b5c9ebaa1958366c23f82ee9e upstream. font.data may not initialize all memory spaces depending on the implementation of vc->vc_sw->con_font_get. This may cause info-leak, so to prevent this, it is safest to modify it to initialize the allocated memory space to 0, and it generally does not affect the overall performance of the system.

They are kind of special, and in particular, the "con_write()" routine violates the "writes cannot sleep" rule that some ldiscs rely on. This avoids the BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/printk/printk.c:2659 when N_GSM has been attached to a virtual console, and gsmld_write() calls con_write() while holding a spinlock, and con_write() then tries to get the console lock.
