[ Upstream commit 164312662ae9764b83b84d97afb25c42eb2be473 ]

The page allocated for vmem using __get_free_pages() is not freed on the
error paths after it. Fix that by adding a corresponding __free_pages()
call to the error path.

<title>drm, fbcon, vga_switcheroo: Avoid race condition in fbcon setup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:05814c389b53d2f3a0b9eeb90ba7a05ba77c4c2a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit eb76d0f5553575599561010f24c277cc5b31d003 upstream.

Protect vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() with console lock. Avoids OOB
access in fbcon_remap_all(). Without holding the console lock the call
races with switching outputs.

VGA switcheroo calls fbcon_remap_all() when switching clients. The fbcon
function uses struct fb_info.node, which is set by register_framebuffer().
As the fb-helper code currently sets up VGA switcheroo before registering
the framebuffer, the value of node is -1 and therefore not a legal value.
For example, fbcon uses the value within set_con2fb_map() [1] as an index
into an array.

Moving vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() after register_framebuffer() can
result in VGA switching that does not switch fbcon correctly.

Therefore move vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() under fbcon_fb_registered(),
which already holds the console lock. Fbdev calls fbcon_fb_registered()
from within register_framebuffer(). Serializes the helper with VGA
switcheroo's call to fbcon_remap_all().

Although vga_switcheroo_client_fb_set() takes an instance of struct fb_info
as parameter, it really only needs the contained fbcon state. Moving the
call to fbcon initialization is therefore cleaner than before. Only amdgpu,
i915, nouveau and radeon support vga_switcheroo. For all other drivers,
this change does nothing.

<title>fbdev: Add bounds checking in bit_putcs to fix vmalloc-out-of-bounds</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 3637d34b35b287ab830e66048841ace404382b67 ]

Add bounds checking to prevent writes past framebuffer boundaries when
rendering text near screen edges. Return early if the Y position is off-screen
and clip image height to screen boundary. Break from the rendering loop if the
X position is off-screen. When clipping image width to fit the screen, update
the character count to match the clipped width to prevent buffer size
mismatches.

Without the character count update, bit_putcs_aligned and bit_putcs_unaligned
receive mismatched parameters where the buffer is allocated for the clipped
width but cnt reflects the original larger count, causing out-of-bounds writes.

The of_find_node_by_name() function returns a device tree node with its
reference count incremented. The caller is responsible for calling
of_node_put() to release this reference when done.

Found via static analysis.

commit 18c4ef4e765a798b47980555ed665d78b71aeadf upstream.

bit_putcs_aligned()/unaligned() derived the glyph pointer from the
character value masked by 0xff/0x1ff, which may exceed the actual font's
glyph count and read past the end of the built-in font array.
Clamp the index to the actual glyph count before computing the address.

This fixes a global out-of-bounds read reported by syzbot.

commit a1f3058930745d2b938b6b4f5bd9630dc74b26b7 upstream.

Recently, we discovered the following issue through syzkaller:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in fb_mode_is_equal+0x285/0x2f0
Read of size 4 at addr ff11000001b3c69c by task syz.xxx

 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

Based on experimentation and analysis, during framebuffer unregistration,
only the memory of fb_info-&gt;modelist is freed, without setting the
corresponding fb_display[i]-&gt;mode to NULL for the freed modes. This leads
to UAF issues during subsequent accesses. Here's an example of reproduction
steps:
1. With /dev/fb0 already registered in the system, load a kernel module
   to register a new device /dev/fb1;
2. Set fb1's mode to the global fb_display[] array (via FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP);
3. Switch console from fb to VGA (to allow normal rmmod of the ko);
4. Unload the kernel module, at this point fb1's modelist is freed, leaving
   a wild pointer in fb_display[];
5. Trigger the bug via system calls through fb0 attempting to delete a mode
   from fb0.

Add a check in do_unregister_framebuffer(): if the mode to be freed exists
in fb_display[], set the corresponding mode pointer to NULL.

commit 15df28699b28d6b49dc305040c4e26a9553df07a upstream.

A regression was reported to me recently whereby /dev/fb0 had disappeared
from a PowerBook G3 Series "Wallstreet". The problem shows up when the
"video=ofonly" parameter is passed to the kernel, which is what the
bootloader does when "no video driver" is selected. The cause of the
problem is the "offb" string comparison, which got mangled when it got
refactored. Fix it.
