Adding dri-devel too, not sure anyone is still listening on linux-fbdev. On Sun, Oct 18, 2020 at 8:13 PM Peilin Ye [off-list ref] wrote:
Recently, in commit 6735b4632def ("Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros
for built-in fonts"), we wrapped each of our built-in data buffers in a
`font_data` structure, in order to use the following macros on them, see
include/linux/font.h:
#define REFCOUNT(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-1])
#define FNTSIZE(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-2])
#define FNTCHARCNT(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-3])
#define FNTSUM(fd) (((int *)(fd))[-4])
#define FONT_EXTRA_WORDS 4
Do the same thing to our new 6x8 font. For built-in fonts, currently we
only use FNTSIZE(). Since this is only a temporary solution for an
out-of-bounds issue in the framebuffer layer (see commit 5af08640795b
("fbcon: Fix global-out-of-bounds read in fbcon_get_font()")), all the
three other fields are intentionally set to zero in order to discourage
using these negative-indexing macros.
Signed-off-by: Peilin Ye <redacted>Patch looks good to me, but it says 1/2 and I can't find 2/2 anywhere, not even on lore. Did that get lost? -Daniel
