fbdev: modedb: Fix misaligned fields in the 1920x1080-60 mode

2026-06-12T21:23:43+00:00

The 1920x1080@60 modedb entry has one too many initializers before its sync field: a stray "0" occupies the sync slot, which shifts the remaining values by one field. The entry therefore decodes as sync = 0, vmode = FB_SYNC_HOR_HIGH_ACT | FB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH_ACT (0x3, i.e. FB_VMODE_INTERLACED | FB_VMODE_DOUBLE), and flag = FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED, instead of the intended sync = positive H/V, vmode = non-interlaced. fb_find_mode() then returns a 1920x1080 mode flagged as interlaced + doublescan with active-low syncs. Drivers that honour var->vmode and var->sync when programming display timing enable doublescan and the wrong sync polarity, corrupting the output. Drop the stray initializer so sync and vmode hold their intended values (positive H/V sync, non-interlaced), matching the adjacent 1920x1200 entry.

fbdev: modedb: fix a possible UAF in fb_find_mode()

2026-06-10T15:13:58+00:00

If mode_option is NULL, it is assigned from mode_option_buf: if (!mode_option) { fb_get_options(NULL, &mode_option_buf); mode_option = mode_option_buf; } Later, name is assigned from mode_option: const char *name = mode_option; However, mode_option_buf is freed before name is no longer used: kfree(mode_option_buf); while name is still accessed by: if ((name_matches(db[i], name, namelen) || Since name aliases mode_option_buf, this may result in a use-after-free. Fix this by extending the lifetime of mode_option_buf until the end of the function by using scope-based resource management for cleanup.

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) 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
