Commit Message

Peilin Ye Oct. 18, 2020, 6:12 p.m. UTC
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.

Adding dri-devel too, not sure anyone is still listening on linux-fbdev.

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?

2/2 is just updating the fb documentation:

[PATCH 2/2] docs: fb: Add font_6x8 to available built-in fonts
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/717bb41dda8e2ed615f3faadfbc3e215de726d38.1603037079.git.yepeilin.cs@gmail.com/

I did `git format-patch -2 --thread=deep`, did I do something wrong when
sending it?

Thank you,
Peilin Ye

No idea, it just didn't arrive anywhere I could find. And I did get
your previous patch series. Maybe just try again with dri-devel
included and hope it works then?

I'm confused, I see it on LKML in the link above. Sure I'll resend soon.

My brain didn't work, sorry about the confusion.

I'll pick up the patches tomorrow, probably not a good idea I do
anything more today :-)
