Memory leaks can happen in the vc_resize() function in drivers/char/vt.c
because of the vc->vc_screenbuf variable overriding in vc_allocate(). The
kmemleak reported trace is as follows:
<__kmalloc>
<vc_resize>
<fbcon_init>
<visual_init>
<vc_allocate>
<con_open>
<tty_open>
<chrdev_open>
This patch no longer allocates a screen buffer in vc_allocate() if it was
already allocated by vc_resize().

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the
resize against the tty structure updates. This means that while two
parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results
reported.
Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the
console. This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console
driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good
Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any
longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

Fix utf-8 mode so alternate charset modes always work according to control
sequences interpreted in do_con_trol function preserving backward US-ASCII
and VT100 semigraphics compatibility.
Malformed utf-8 sequences are represented as sequences of replacement
glyphs,original codes or '?' as a last resort.
unicode-xterm, gnome-terminal, kconsole and other terminal emulators in
utf-8 mode respect acsc, enacs, rmacs sequences. Also I found that some
important system programs (from Debian distro) uses acsc in utf-8 mode -
dselect, aptitude, w3m for example.

Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number
generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge
device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code
would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG. This patch adds
detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG.
There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC
equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care
about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use
the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the
device list needed to be changed).

No other tty driver will print on the console when the open of it fails.
On systems that happen to be configured for both ttyS0 and hvc0 console,
this will keep flooding the console output. This is most likely to
happen with systems booted between with and without hypervisor from the
same filesystem.
Let's just remove it. When it's really needed (i.e. when the open fails
and someone is trying to debug it), noone will see the output anyway. And
init will report the opens failing in due time through the syslog.

Sometimes the logic to handle AGPx8->AGPx4 fallback failed, as can
be seen in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197346
The failures occured if the bridge was in AGPx8 mode, but the
user hadn't specified a mode in their X config. We weren't
setting the mode to the highest mode capable by the video card+bridge
(as we do in the AGPv2 case), which was leading to all kinds of
mayhem including us believing that after falling back from AGPx8, that
we couldn't do x4 mode (which is disastrous in AGPv3, as those are
the only two modes possible).

Olaf Kirch of SuSE tracked down a problem where module unloads of the IPMI
driver would occasionally result in Oopses. He tracked that down to a
variable that wasn't always initialized properly in some situations. This
patch initializes that variable. Olaf sent a patch that kzalloc-ed the
data, but this structure is large enough that I would perfer to not do
that. Thanks Olaf!

it limits the queue size for a tty to 64K characters (128Kbytes) worst case
even if the tty is ignoring tty->throttle. This is because certain drivers

When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is
loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character.
But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's
bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way
for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested)
patch:
Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC
text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

While testing Moxa C218T/PCI on PowerPC 405EP I found that loading firmware
using the linux kernel driver fails because calculation of the checksum is
not endianess independent in the original code.
After I fixed this I found that uploading firmware in a system with
multiple cards causes a kernel oops. I had a look in the recent moxa
sources and found that they do some kind of locking there. Applying this
lock fixed the problem.
Alan sayeth:
Checksum changes are clearly correct. Other changes is an improvement but
not I think enough to handle malicious firmware attacks. That said such an
attacker has CAP_SYS_RAWIO anyway so that part is irrelevant except for
neatness.
