commit 17b572e82032bc246324ce136696656b66d4e3f1 upstream.

It is possible to miss data when using the kdb pager.  The kdb pager
does not pay attention to the maximum column constraint of the screen
or serial terminal.  This result is not incrementing the shown lines
correctly and the pager will print more lines that fit on the screen.
Obviously that is less than useful when using a VGA console where you
cannot scroll back.

The pager will now look at the kdb_buffer string to see how many
characters are printed.  It might not be perfect considering you can
output ASCII that might move the cursor position, but it is a
substantially better approximation for viewing dmesg and trace logs.

This also means that the vt screen needs to set the kdb COLUMNS
variable.

commit 157a4b311c45c9aba75a990464d9680867dc8805 upstream.

There are three call sites for this function, and all three
are called within a keyboard handler.
kbd_event_lock is already held within keyboard handlers,
so attempting to lock it in vt_get_leds causes deadlock.

Fixing the locking accidentally replaced a race in the scroll
lock handling with a deadlock. Turn it back into a race for
now.

The basic problem is that there are two paths into the tty
stop/start helpers. One via the tty layer ^S/^Q handling
where we need to take the kbd_event_lock and one via the
special keyboard handler for fn_hold where we already hold
it. Probably we need to split out into a separate LED lock
but for now just go back to the race as it's a bit close
to release.

A prototype for kmsg records instead of a byte-stream buffer revealed
a couple of missing printk(KERN_CONT ...) uses. Subsequent calls produce
one record per printk() call, while all should have ended up in a single
record.

Instead of:
  ACPI: (supports S0 S5)
  ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA] (IRQs 5 *10 11)
  hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed00000, IRQs 2 , 8 , 0

Bugzilla 40012: PIO_UNIMAP bug: error updating Unicode-to-font map
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40012

The unicode font map for the virtual console is a 32x32x64 table which
allocates rows dynamically as entries are added.  The unicode value
increases sequentially and should count all entries even in empty
rows.  The defect is when copying the unicode font map in con_set_unimap(),
the unicode value is not incremented properly.  The wrong unicode value
is entered in the new font map.

All num, magic and owner are set by alloc_tty_driver. No need to
re-set them on each allocation site.

pti driver sets something different to what it passes to
alloc_tty_driver. It is not a bug, since we don't use the lines
parameter in any way. Anyway this is fixed, and now we do the right
thing.
