Now that the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only
memory, making all 'class' structures to be declared at build time
placing them into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically
allocated at load time.

An ndash used instead of a single dash renders a bullet to the result.
So use only single dashes in kernel-doc.

<title>vc_screen: reload load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_write() to avoid UAF</title>

<content type='text'>
After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_write() the vc_data struct can be
freed by vc_port_destruct(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer
must be reloaded in the while loop in vcs_write() after console_lock() to
avoid a UAF when vcs_size() is called.

Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().

The module pointer in class_create() never actually did anything, and it
shouldn't have been requred to be set as a parameter even if it did
something.  So just remove it and fix up all callers of the function in
the kernel tree at the same time.

Commit 226fae124b2d ("vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in
vcs_read() to avoid UAF") moved the call to vcs_vc() into the loop.

While doing this it also moved the unconditional assignment of

	ret = -ENXIO;

This unconditional assignment was valid outside the loop but within it
it clobbers the actual value of ret.

To avoid this only assign "ret = -ENXIO" when actually needed.

[ Also, the 'goto unlock_out" needs to be just a "break", so that it
  does the right thing when it exits on later iterations when partial
  success has happened - Linus ]

After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_read() the vc_data struct can be
freed by vc_deallocate(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer
load must be done at the top of while loop in vcs_read() to avoid a UAF
when vcs_size() is called.

Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().

 vcs_read+0xaa7/0xb40 drivers/tty/vt/vc_screen.c:449

There are two issues with the patch:
1) vcs_read rounds the 'count' *up* to an even number. So if we read odd
   bytes from the header (3 bytes in the reproducer), the second byte of
   a (2-byte/ushort) write to temporary con_buf won't fit. It is because
   with the patch applied, we only subtract the real number read (3 bytes)
   and not the whole header (4 bytes).

2) in this scenario, we perform unaligned accesses now: there are
   2-byte/ushort writes to odd addresses. Due to the same reason as
   above.

Revert this for now, re-think and retry later.

Do not undefine random words. I guess this was here as there were macros
with such generic names somewhere. I very doubt they still exist. So
drop these.

And remove a spare blank line.

The attribute header handling is terrible in vcs_read_buf. Separate it
to a new function and simply do memmove (of up to 4 bytes) to the start
of the con_buf -- if user seeked.
