'ret' is known to be 0 at this point.
In case of memory allocation error in 'framebuffer_alloc()', return

[ Upstream commit c98769475575c8a585f5b3952f4b5f90266f699b ]

While usb_control_msg function expects timeout in miliseconds, a value
of HZ is used. Replace it with USB_CTRL_GET_TIMEOUT and also fix error
message which looks like:
udlfb: Read EDID byte 78 failed err ffffff92
as error is either negative errno or number of bytes transferred use %d
format specifier.

Returned EDID is in second byte, so return error when less than two bytes
are received.

[ Upstream commit ac831a379d34109451b3c41a44a20ee10ecb615f ]

Dan's static analysis says:

    drivers/video/fbdev/controlfb.c:560 control_setup()
    error: buffer overflow 'control_mac_modes' 20 &lt;= 21

Indeed, control_mac_modes[] has only 20 elements, while VMODE_MAX is 22,
which may lead to an out of bounds read when parsing vmode commandline
options.

The bug was introduced in v2.4.5.6, when 2 new modes were added to
macmodes.h, but control_mac_modes[] wasn't updated:

https://kernel.opensuse.org/cgit/kernel/diff/include/video/macmodes.h?h=v2.5.2&amp;id=29f279c764808560eaceb88fef36cbc35c529aad

Augment control_mac_modes[] with the two new video modes to fix this.

[ Upstream commit 879e5a0df626f39cbb3c61bb90373e56d67012c4 ]

Fix:

WARNING: drivers/video/fbdev/pmag-ba-fb.o(.text+0x308): Section mismatch in reference from the function pmagbafb_probe() to the function .init.text:pmagbafb_erase_cursor()
The function pmagbafb_probe()
references the function __init pmagbafb_erase_cursor().
This is often because pmagbafb_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of pmagbafb_erase_cursor is wrong.

-- a fallout from a missed update from commit 9625b51350cc ("VIDEO:
PMAG-BA: Fix section mismatch") and then commit 48c68c4f1b54 ("Drivers:
video: remove __dev* attributes.")

commit 8e75f7a7a00461ef6d91797a60b606367f6e344d upstream.

'clk' is copied to a userland with padding byte(s) after 'vclk_post_div'
field unitialized, leaking data from the stack. Fix this ensuring all of
'clk' is initialized to zero.

commit 9121b15b5628b38b4695282dc18c553440e0f79b upstream.

Connecting to the backend isn't working reliably in xen-fbfront: in
case XenbusStateInitWait of the backend has been missed the backend
transition to XenbusStateConnected will trigger the connected state
only without doing the actions required when the backend has
connected.

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.

commit d50b3f43db739f03fcf8c0a00664b3d2fed0496e upstream.

When using efifb with a 16-bit (5:6:5) visual, fbcon's text is rendered
in the wrong colors - e.g. text gray (#aaaaaa) is rendered as green
(#50bc50) and neighboring pixels have slightly different values
(such as #50bc78).

The reason is that fbcon loads its 16 color palette through
efifb_setcolreg(), which in turn calculates a 32-bit value to write
into memory for each palette index.
Until now, this code could only handle 8-bit visuals and didn't mask
overlapping values when ORing them.

With this patch, fbcon displays the correct colors when a qemu VM is
booted in 16-bit mode (in GRUB: "set gfxpayload=800x600x16").

Fixes: 7c83172b98e5 ("x86_64 EFI boot support: EFI frame buffer driver")  # v2.6.24+
