upstream commit: e5b89542ea18020961882228c26db3ba87f6e608

The virtio-rng drivers checks for spurious callbacks. Since
callbacks can be implemented via shared interrupts (e.g. PCI) this
could lead to guest kernel oopses with lots of virtio devices.

upstream commit: 59de2bebabc5027f93df999d59cc65df591c3e6e

CVE-2009-1192

AGP pages might be mapped into userspace finally, so the pages should be
set to zero before userspace can use it. Otherwise there is potential
information leakage.

<title>intel-agp: fix a panic with 1M of shared memory, no GTT entries</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9c1e8a4ebcc04226cb6f3a1bf1d72f4cafd6b089 upstream.

When GTT size is equal to amount of video memory, the amount of GTT
entries is computed lower than zero, which is invalid and leads to
off-by-one error in intel_i915_configure()

commit 93f78da405685a756beeaeae4b5e41fcec39eab3 upstream.

This reverts commit c9e587abfdec2c2aaa55fab83bcb4972e2f84f9b, and the
subsequent commits that fixed it up:

 - afa9b649 "fbcon: prevent cursor disappearance after switching to 512
   character font"

 - d850a2fa "vt/fbcon: fix background color on line feed"

 - 7fe3915a "vt/fbcon: update scrl_erase_char after 256/512-glyph font
   switch"

by request of Alan Cox. Quoth Alan:
  "Unfortunately it's wrong and its been causing breakages because
   various apps like ncurses expect our previous (and correct)
   behaviour."

Alexander sent out a similar patch.

commit 44d494417278e49f5b42bd3ded1801b6d2254db8 upstream.

Instead of doing a posting read after each GTT entry update, do a single one
at the end of the writes. This should reduce boot time a tiny amount by
avoiding a lot of extra uncached reads.

commit 878b8619f711280fd05845e21956434b5e588cc4 upstream.

Fix an off-by-two memory error in console selection.

The loop below goes from sel_start to sel_end (inclusive), so it writes
one more character.  This one more character was added to the allocated
size (+1), but it was not multiplied by an UTF-8 multiplier.

This patch fixes a memory corruption when UTF-8 console is used and the
user selects a few characters, all of them 3-byte in UTF-8 (for example
a frame line).

When memory redzones are enabled, a redzone corruption is reported.
When they are not enabled, trashing of random memory occurs.
