[PATCH 3/3] vt: keyboard, extend func_buf_lock to readers

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Oct 16 2020 - 08:24:17 EST


Both read-side users of func_table/func_buf need locking. Without that,
one can easily confuse the code by repeatedly setting altering strings
like:
while (1)
for (a = 0; a < 2; a++) {
struct kbsentry kbs = {};
strcpy((char *)kbs.kb_string, a ? ".\n" : "88888\n");
ioctl(fd, KDSKBSENT, &kbs);
}

When that program runs, one can get unexpected output by holding F1
(note the unxpected period on the last line):
.
88888
.8888

So protect all accesses to 'func_table' (and func_buf) by preexisting
'func_buf_lock'.

It is easy in 'k_fn' handler as 'puts_queue' is expected not to sleep.
On the other hand, KDGKBSENT needs a local (atomic) copy of the string
because copy_to_user can sleep.

Likely fixes CVE-2020-25656.
