commit 624966589041deb32a2626ee2e176e8274581101 upstream.

Mode setting in the TGA driver is broken for these reasons:

- info-&gt;fix.line_length is set just once in tgafb_init_fix function. If
  we change videomode, info-&gt;fix.line_length is not recalculated - so
  the video mode is changed but the screen is corrupted because of wrong
  info-&gt;fix.line_length.

- info-&gt;fix.smem_len is set in tgafb_init_fix to the size of the default
  video mode (640x480). If we set a higher resolution,
  info-&gt;fix.smem_len is smaller than the current screen size, preventing
  the userspace program from mapping the framebuffer.

This patch fixes it:

- info-&gt;fix.line_length initialization is moved to tgafb_set_par so that
  it is recalculated with each mode change.

- info-&gt;fix.smem_len is set to a fixed value representing the real
  amount of video ram (the values are taken from xfree86 driver).

- add a check to tgafb_check_var to prevent us from setting a videomode
  that doesn't fit into videoram.

- in tgafb_register, tgafb_init_fix is moved upwards, to be called
  before fb_find_mode (because fb_find_mode already needs the videoram
  size set in tgafb_init_fix).

commit 6b0df6827bb6fcacb158dff29ad0a62d6418b534 upstream.

The functions for data copying copyarea_foreward_8bpp and
copyarea_backward_8bpp are buggy, they produce screen corruption.

This patch fixes the functions and moves the logic to one function
"copyarea_8bpp". For simplicity, the function only handles copying that
is aligned on 8 pixes. If we copy an unaligned area, generic function
cfb_copyarea is used.

<title>mach64: fix cursor when character width is not a multiple of 8 pixels</title>

commit 43751a1b8ee2e70ce392bf31ef3133da324e68b3 upstream.

This patch fixes the hardware cursor on mach64 when font width is not a
multiple of 8 pixels.

If you load such a font, the cursor is expanded to the next 8-byte
boundary and a part of the next character after the cursor is not
visible.
For example, when you load a font with 12-pixel width, the cursor width
is 16 pixels and when the cursor is displayed, 4 pixels of the next
character are not visible.

The reason is this: atyfb_cursor is called with proper parameters to
load an image that is 12-pixel wide. However, the number is aligned on
the next 8-pixel boundary on the line
"unsigned int width = (cursor-&gt;image.width + 7) &gt;&gt; 3;" and the whole
function acts as it is was loading a 16-pixel image.

This patch fixes it so that the value written to the framebuffer is
padded with 0xaaaa (the transparent pattern) when the image size it not
a multiple of 8 pixels. The transparent pattern causes that the cursor
will not interfere with the next character.

commit c29dd8696dc5dbd50b3ac441b8a26751277ba520 upstream.

This patch fixes mach64 to use unaligned access to the font bitmap.

This fixes unaligned access warning on sparc64 when 14x8 font is loaded.

On x86(64), unaligned access is handled in hardware, so both functions
le32_to_cpup and get_unaligned_le32 perform the same operation.

On RISC machines, unaligned access is not handled in hardware, so we
better use get_unaligned_le32 to avoid the unaligned trap and warning.

commit a772d4736641ec1b421ad965e13457c17379fc86 upstream.

When X11 is running and the user switches back to console, the card
modifies the content of registers M_MACCESS and M_PITCH in periodic
intervals.

This patch fixes it by restoring the content of these registers before
issuing any accelerator command.

commit 00a9d699bc85052d2d3ed56251cd928024ce06a3 upstream.

The function cfb_copyarea is buggy when the copy operation is not aligned on
long boundary (4 bytes on 32-bit machines, 8 bytes on 64-bit machines).

How to reproduce:
- use x86-64 machine
- use a framebuffer driver without acceleration (for example uvesafb)
- set the framebuffer to 8-bit depth
	(for example fbset -a 1024x768-60 -depth 8)
- load a font with character width that is not a multiple of 8 pixels
	note: the console-tools package cannot load a font that has
	width different from 8 pixels. You need to install the packages
	"kbd" and "console-terminus" and use the program "setfont" to
	set font width (for example: setfont Uni2-Terminus20x10)
- move some text left and right on the bash command line and you get a
	screen corruption

To expose more bugs, put this line to the end of uvesafb_init_info:
info-&gt;flags |= FBINFO_HWACCEL_COPYAREA | FBINFO_READS_FAST;
- Now framebuffer console will use cfb_copyarea for console scrolling.
You get a screen corruption when console is scrolled.

This patch is a rewrite of cfb_copyarea. It fixes the bugs, with this
patch, console scrolling in 8-bit depth with a font width that is not a
multiple of 8 pixels works fine.

The cfb_copyarea code was very buggy and it looks like it was written
and never tried with non-8-pixel font.

commit 0219132fe7c26574371232b50db085573f6fbd3f upstream.

STI text console (sticon) was broken on 64bit machines with more than
4GB RAM and this lead in some cases to a kernel crash.

Since sticon uses the 32bit STI API it needs to keep pointers to memory
below 4GB. But on a 64bit kernel some memory regions (e.g. the kernel
stack) might be above 4GB which then may crash the kernel in the STI
functions.

Additionally sticon didn't selected the built-in framebuffer fonts by
default. This is now fixed.

On a side-note: Theoretically we could enhance the sticon driver to
use the 64bit STI API. But - beside the fact that some machines don't
provide a 64bit STI ROM - this would just add complexity.
