commit c9b51ddb66b1d96e4d364c088da0f1dfb004c574 upstream.

Currently when the current line should be removed from the display
kdb_read() uses memset() to fill a temporary buffer with spaces.
The problem is not that this could be trivially implemented using a
format string rather than open coding it. The real problem is that
it is possible, on systems with a long kdb_prompt_str, to write past
the end of the tmpbuffer.

Happily, as mentioned above, this can be trivially implemented using a
format string. Make it so!

commit 6244917f377bf64719551b58592a02a0336a7439 upstream.

The code that handles case 14 (down) and case 16 (up) has been copy and
pasted despite being byte-for-byte identical. Combine them.

commit db2f9c7dc29114f531df4a425d0867d01e1f1e28 upstream.

Currently, if the cursor position is not at the end of the command buffer
and the user uses the Tab-complete functions, then the console does not
leave the cursor in the correct position.

For example consider the following buffer with the cursor positioned
at the ^:

md kdb_pro 10
          ^

Pressing tab should result in:

md kdb_prompt_str 10
                 ^

However this does not happen. Instead the cursor is placed at the end
(after then 10) and further cursor movement redraws incorrectly. The
same problem exists when we double-Tab but in a different part of the
code.

Fix this by sending a carriage return and then redisplaying the text to
the left of the cursor.

commit 09b35989421dfd5573f0b4683c7700a7483c71f9 upstream.

Currently when kdb_read() needs to reposition the cursor it uses copy and
paste code that works by injecting an '\0' at the cursor position before
delivering a carriage-return and reprinting the line (which stops at the
'\0').

Tidy up the code by hoisting the copy and paste code into an appropriately
named function. Additionally let's replace the '\0' injection with a
proper field width parameter so that the string will be abridged during
formatting instead.

commit e9730744bf3af04cda23799029342aa3cddbc454 upstream.

Currently, when the user attempts symbol completion with the Tab key, kdb
will use strncpy() to insert the completed symbol into the command buffer.
Unfortunately it passes the size of the source buffer rather than the
destination to strncpy() with predictably horrible results. Most obviously
if the command buffer is already full but cp, the cursor position, is in
the middle of the buffer, then we will write past the end of the supplied
buffer.

Fix this by replacing the dubious strncpy() calls with memmove()/memcpy()
calls plus explicit boundary checks to make sure we have enough space
before we start moving characters around.

[ Upstream commit 4f41d30cd6dc865c3cbc1a852372321eba6d4e4c ]

When appending "[defcmd]" to 'kdb_prompt_str', the size of the string
already in the buffer should be taken into account.

An option could be to switch from strncat() to strlcat() which does the
correct test to avoid such an overflow.

However, this actually looks as dead code, because 'defcmd_in_progress'
can't be true here.
See a more detailed explanation at [1].

<title>kgdb: Flush console before entering kgdb on panic</title>

[ Upstream commit dd712d3d45807db9fcae28a522deee85c1f2fde6 ]

When entering kdb/kgdb on a kernel panic, it was be observed that the
console isn't flushed before the `kdb` prompt came up. Specifically,
when using the buddy lockup detector on arm64 and running:
  echo HARDLOCKUP &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT

I could see:
  [   26.161099] lkdtm: Performing direct entry HARDLOCKUP
  [   32.499881] watchdog: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on cpu 6
  [   32.552865] Sending NMI from CPU 5 to CPUs 6:
  [   32.557359] NMI backtrace for cpu 6
  ... [backtrace for cpu 6] ...
  [   32.558353] NMI backtrace for cpu 5
  ... [backtrace for cpu 5] ...
  [   32.867471] Sending NMI from CPU 5 to CPUs 0-4,7:
  [   32.872321] NMI backtrace forP cpuANC: Hard LOCKUP

  Entering kdb (current=..., pid 0) on processor 5 due to Keyboard Entry
  [5]kdb&gt;

As you can see, backtraces for the other CPUs start printing and get
interleaved with the kdb PANIC print.

Let's replicate the commands to flush the console in the kdb panic
entry point to avoid this.

<title>tty: sysrq: switch sysrq handlers from int to u8</title>

<content type='text'>
The passed parameter to sysrq handlers is a key (a character). So change
the type from 'int' to 'u8'. Let it specifically be 'u8' for two
reasons:
* unsigned: unsigned values come from the upper layers (devices) and the
  tty layer assumes unsigned on most places, and
* 8-bit: as that what's supposed to be one day in all the layers built
  on the top of tty. (Currently, we use mostly 'unsigned char' and
  somewhere still only 'char'. (But that also translates to the former
  thanks to -funsigned-char.))

It is allowed for consoles to not provide a write() callback. For
example ttynull does this.

Check if a write() callback is available before using it.
