Restore the original intent of the VT_RESIZEX ioctl's `v_clin' parameter
which is the number of pixel rows per character (cell) rather than the
height of the font used.
For framebuffer devices the two values are always the same, because the
former is inferred from the latter one. For VGA used as a true text
mode device these two parameters are independent from each other: the
number of pixel rows per character is set in the CRT controller, while
font height is in fact hardwired to 32 pixel rows and fonts of heights
below that value are handled by padding their data with blanks when
loaded to hardware for use by the character generator. One can change
the setting in the CRT controller and it will update the screen contents
accordingly regardless of the font loaded.
The `v_clin' parameter is used by the `vgacon' driver to set the height
of the character cell and then the cursor position within. Make the
parameter explicit then, by defining a new `vc_cell_height' struct
member of `vc_data', set it instead of `vc_font.height' from `v_clin' in
the VT_RESIZEX ioctl, and then use it throughout the `vgacon' driver
except where actual font data is accessed which as noted above is
independent from the CRTC setting.
This way the framebuffer console driver is free to ignore the `v_clin'
parameter as irrelevant, as it always should have, avoiding any issues
attempts to give the parameter a meaning there could have caused, such
as one that has led to commit 988d0763361b ("vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX
behave like VT_RESIZE"):
"syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2],
for vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height
larger than actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from
ioctl(PIO_FONT). Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates
minimal amount of memory based on actual font height calculated by
con_font_set(), use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font
data."
The problem first appeared around Linux 2.5.66 which predates our repo
history, but the origin could be identified with the old MIPS/Linux repo
also at: <git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git>
as commit 9736a3546de7 ("Merge with Linux 2.5.66."), where VT_RESIZEX
code in `vt_ioctl' was updated as follows:
if (clin)
- video_font_height = clin;
+ vc->vc_font.height = clin;
making the parameter apply to framebuffer devices as well, perhaps due
to the use of "font" in the name of the original `video_font_height'
variable. Use "cell" in the new struct member then to avoid ambiguity.

The cursor code used to use magic constants, ANDs, ORs, and some macros.
Redefine all this to make some sense.
In particular:
* Drop CUR_DEFAULT, which is CUR_UNDERLINE. CUR_DEFAULT was used only
for cur_default variable initialization, so use CUR_UNDERLINE there to
make obvious what's the default.
* Drop CUR_HWMASK. Instead, define CUR_SIZE() which explains it more.
And use it all over the places.
* Define few more masks and bits which will be used in next patches
instead of magic constants.
* Define CUR_MAKE to build up cursor value.

vc_tab_stop is used as a bitmap, but defined as an unsigned int array.
Switch it to bitmap and convert all users to the bitmap interface.
Note the difference in behavior! We no longer mask the top 24 bits away
from x, hence we do not wrap tabs at 256th column. Instead, we silently
drop attempts to set a tab behind 256 columns. And we will also seek by
'\t' to the rightmost column, when behind that boundary. I do not think
the original behavior was desired and that someone relies on that. If
this turns out to be the case, we can change the added 'if's back to
masks here and there instead...
(Or we can increase the limit as fb consoles now have 240 chars here.
And they could have more with higher than my resolution, of course.)

VCI_HALF_BRIGHT, VCI_NORMAL, and VCI_BOLD instead.
Apart from the cleanup,
1) the enum allows for better type checking, and
2) this saves some code. No more fiddling with bits is needed in

There are two copies of some members of struct vc_data. This is because
we need to save them and restore later. Move these memebers to a
separate structure called vc_state. So now instead of members like:
vc_x, vc_y and vc_saved_x, vc_saved_y
we have
state and saved_state (of type: struct vc_state)
containing
state.x, state.y and saved_state.x, saved_state.y
This change:
* makes clear what is saved & restored
* eases save & restore by using memcpy (see save_cur and restore_cur)
Finally, we document the newly added struct vc_state using kernel-doc.

I honestly have no idea what the subtle differences between
con_is_visible, con_is_fg (internal to vt.c) and con_is_bound are. But
it looks like both vc->vc_display_fg and con_driver_map are protected
by the console_lock, so probably better if we hold that when checking
this.
To do that I had to deinline the con_is_visible function.

The vt code translates UTF-8 strings into glyph index values and stores
those glyph values directly in the screen buffer. Because there can only
be at most 512 glyphs, it is impossible to represent most unicode
characters, in which case a default glyph (often '?') is displayed
instead. The original unicode value is then lost.
This patch implements the basic screen buffer handling to preserve unicode
values alongside corresponding display glyphs. It is not activated by
default, meaning that people not relying on that functionality won't get
the implied overhead.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The vc_data.vc_uni_pagedir filed is currently long int, supposedly to
be served generically. This, however, leads to lots of cast to
pointer, and rather it worsens the readability significantly.
Actually, we have now only a single uni_pagedir map implementation,
and this won't change likely. So, it'd be much more simple and
error-prone to just use the exact pointer for struct uni_pagedir
instead of long.
Ditto for vc_uni_pagedir_loc. It's a pointer to the uni_pagedir, thus
it can be changed similarly to the exact type.

Jesse's initial patch commit said:
"At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit
harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since
some drivers are capable of flipping back to it.
So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a
panic context."
I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to
indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to
fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want
to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.

A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such as
perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
and
perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely
filled with the currently active background color instead of the default
color.
When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new
region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using
memset. However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing
them to be colored with the currently active background color. This is
different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with
the default background color (e.g. `xterm -bg black`).
The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new
vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used
for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize()
hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and
VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that
con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the
resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this
particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug
7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size
larger than 80x25.
To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This
parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is
non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl
and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will
return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The
latter is the more correct behavior.
With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and
stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

Prevent <linux/console_struct.h> from being included more than once,
otherwise you get a redefinition error if you happen to include
<linux/vt_kern.h> first.

This does several things.
- It moves looking up of the current foreground console into process
context where we can safely take the semaphore that protects this
operation.
- It uses the new flavor of work queue processing.
- This generates a factor of do_SAK, __do_SAK that runs immediately.
- This calls __do_SAK with the console semaphore held ensuring nothing
else happens to the console while we process the SAK operation.
- With the console SAK processing moved into process context this
patch removes the xchg operations that I used to attempt to attomically
update struct pid, because of the strange locking used in the SAK processing.
With SAK using the normal console semaphore nothing special is needed.

I took a good hard look at the locking and it appears the locking on vt_pid
is the console semaphore. Every modified path is called under the console
semaphore except reset_vc when it is called from fn_SAK or do_SAK both of
which appear to be in interrupt context. In addition I need to be careful
because in the presence of an oops the console_sem may be arbitrarily
dropped.
Which leads me to conclude the current locking is inadequate for my needs.
Given the weird cases we could hit because of oops printing instead of
introducing an extra spin lock to protect the data and keep the pid to
signal and the signal to send in sync, I have opted to use xchg on just the
struct pid * pointer instead.
Due to console_sem we will stay in sync between vt_pid and vt_mode except
for a small window during a SAK, or oops handling. SAK handling should
kill any user space process that care, and oops handling we are broken
anyway. Besides the worst that can happen is that I try to send the wrong
signal.

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
dependency on tty.h.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
