[PATCH v3 0/4] fbcon: Fixes for screen resolution changes

[Helge Deller]

This series fixes possible out-of-bound memory accesses when users trigger
screen resolutions changes with invalid input parameters, e.g. reconfigures
screen which is smaller than the current font size, or if the virtual screen
size is smaller than the physical screen size.

Changes in v3 (all feedback from Geert):
- Drop WARNING, instead just use pr_warn() to report if driver failed
  to adjust xres_virtual or yres_virtual
- Use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
- fbcon_modechange_possible() allows changes for non-text screens

Changes in v2:
- don't fixup wrong xy_vres values, but instead print warning.
- add Reviewed-by tags, minor variable name fixes

Helge Deller (4):
  fbcon: Disallow setting font bigger than screen size
  fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size
  fbmem: Check virtual screen sizes in fb_set_var()
  fbcon: Use fbcon_info_from_console() in fbcon_modechange_possible()

[PATCH v3 1/4] fbcon: Disallow setting font bigger than screen size

[Helge Deller]

Prevent that users set a font size which is bigger than the physical screen.
It's unlikely this may happen (because screens are usually much larger than the
fonts and each font char is limited to 32x32 pixels), but it may happen on
smaller screens/LCD displays.

[PATCH v3 2/4] fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size

[Helge Deller]

We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
access memory outside the graphics memory region.

This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which
implements this check and which later may be extended with other checks
if necessary.  The new function is called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
ioctl handler in fbmem.c, which will return -EINVAL if userspace asked
for a too small screen size.

Verify that the fbdev or drm driver correctly adjusted the virtual
screen sizes. On failure report the failing driver and reject the screen
