Commit 6735b4632def ("Fonts: Support FONT_EXTRA_WORDS macros for built-in
fonts") introduced the following error when building rpc_defconfig (only
this build appears to be affected):`acorndata_8x8' referenced in section `.text' of arch/arm/boot/compressed/ll_char_wr.o:

syzbot has reported an issue in the framebuffer layer, where a malicious
user may overflow our built-in font data buffers.In order to perform a reliable range check, subsystems need to know
`FONTDATAMAX` for each built-in font. Unfortunately, our font descriptor,
`struct console_font` does not contain `FONTDATAMAX`, and is part of the
UAPI, making it infeasible to modify it.For user-provided fonts, the framebuffer layer resolves this issue by
reserving four extra words at the beginning of data buffers. Later,
whenever a function needs to access them, it simply uses the following
macros:Recently we have gathered all the above macros to . Let us
do the same thing for built-in fonts, prepend four extra words (including
`FONTDATAMAX`) to their data buffers, so that subsystems can use these
macros for all fonts, no matter built-in or user-provided.This patch depends on patch "fbdev, newport_con: Move FONT_EXTRA_WORDS
macros into linux/font.h".Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

The font files contain bit masks for characters in the cp437 character
set, and comments showing what character this is supposed to be.This only makes sense when the terminal used to view the files is set to
the same codepage, but all other files in the kernel now use utf-8
encoding.This changes those comments to utf-8 as well, for consistency.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
support code selection logic").
Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
its own library directory lib/fonts/.
This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
CONFIG_VT=y again.[Kevin Hilman : Update arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile]
