commit 2dc705a9930b4806250fbf5a76e55266e59389f2 upstream.

Copying color maps to userspace doesn't check the value of to-&gt;start,
which will cause kernel heap buffer OOB read due to signedness wraps.

CVE-2016-8405

<title>fbmon: remove unused function argument</title>

When building with "make W=1", we get a warning about an empty stub
function that does nothing but reassign its one of its arguments:

  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmon.c: In function 'fb_edid_to_monspecs':
  drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmon.c:1497:67: error: parameter 'specs' set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-parameter]

We can simply make that function completely empty to avoid the warning.

This prevents a warning which everyone will see after "CFLAGS: add
-Wunused-but-set-parameter" is merged.

fbmem_init() ignores all errors, while fbmem_exit() does not

<title>fbdev: fb_defio: Export fb_deferred_io_mmap</title>

Export fb_deferred_io_mmap so drivers can change vma-&gt;vm_page_prot.
When the framebuffer memory is allocated using dma_alloc_writecombine()
instead of vmalloc(), I get cache syncing problems on ARM.
This solves it:

static int drm_fbdev_cma_deferred_io_mmap(struct fb_info *info,
					  struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
	fb_deferred_io_mmap(info, vma);
	vma-&gt;vm_page_prot = pgprot_writecombine(vma-&gt;vm_page_prot);

	return 0;
}

Could this have been done in the core?
Drivers that don't set (struct fb_ops *)-&gt;fb_mmap, gets a call to
fb_pgprotect() at the end of the default fb_mmap implementation
(drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c). This is an architecture specific
function that on many platforms uses pgprot_writecombine(), but not on
all. And looking at some of the fb_mmap implementations, some of them
sets vm_page_prot to nocache for instance, so I think the safest bet is
to do this in the driver and not in the fbdev core. And we can't call
fb_pgprotect() from fb_deferred_io_mmap() either because we don't have
access to the file pointer that powerpc needs.

There's no point in having support for framebuffer notifications
is CONFIG_FB is disabled. This commit adds the necessary stubs
for code to link properly when CONFIG_FB=n and moves fb-notify.o
to be built only when CONFIG_FB=y.

When the usual fbcon legacy options are enabled we have
-&gt;register_framebuffer
  -&gt;fb notifier chain calls into fbcon
    -&gt;fbcon sets up console on new fbi
      -&gt;fbi-&gt;set_par
        -&gt;drm_fb_helper_set_par exercises full kms api

And because of locking inversion hilarity all of register_framebuffer
is done with the console lock held. Which means that the first time on
driver load we exercise _all_ the kms code (all probe paths and
modeset paths for everything connected) is under the console lock.
That means if anything goes belly-up in that big pile of code nothing
ever reaches logfiles (and the machine is dead).

Usual tactic to debug that is to temporarily remove those console_lock
calls to be able to capture backtraces. I'm fed up writing this patch
and recompiling kernels. Hence this patch here to add an unsafe,
kernel-taining option to do this at runtime.

i2c-algo-bit allows I2C adapters without SCL read capability to work
but fb_ddc_read fails to work on them.

Fix fb_ddc_read to work with I2C adapters not capable of reading SCL.

The limit should be "PAGE_SIZE - len" instead of PAGE_SIZE.  Also let's
use scnprintf() because snprintf() returns the number of bytes which
would have been printed if there were space and scnprintf() returns the
number of bytes actually printed.

I don't think we are ever going to actually hit this limit in real life.
