vt: incomplete initialization of vc_tab_stop
Problem 1 (see patch below): vc_tab_stop is declared as an array of 8 unsigned ints in struct vc_data in include/linux/console_struct.h . In drivers/char/vt.c only 5 of these 8 unsigned ints get initialized leading to unintended tabulator placement on displays with more than 160 columns text. Problem 2 (open): Upcoming displays will have more than 256 columns of text leading to invalid memory access in drivers/char/vt.c during tabulator calculations: if (vc->vc_tab_stop[vc->vc_x >> 5] & (1 << (vc->vc_x & 31))) break; Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Kroworsch <wolfgang@kroworsch.de> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
