This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled vt/consolemap: do font sum unsigned to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: vt-consolemap-do-font-sum-unsigned.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 393be6c7cd6d65d9d39b78ca8d67c38b560cef52 Author: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 5 13:02:34 2021 +0100 vt/consolemap: do font sum unsigned [ Upstream commit 9777f8e60e718f7b022a94f2524f967d8def1931 ] The constant 20 makes the font sum computation signed which can lead to sign extensions and signed wraps. It's not much of a problem as we build with -fno-strict-overflow. But if we ever decide not to, be ready, so switch the constant to unsigned.
