Pull tty/serial fixes from Greg KH:
 "Here are some small tty fixes for 4.20-rc2

  One of these missed the original 4.19-final release, I missed that I
  hadn't done a pull request for it as it was in linux-next and my
  branch for a long time, that's my fault.

  The others are small, fixing some reported issues and finally fixing
  the termios mess for alpha so that glibc has a chance to implement
  some missing functionality that has been pending for many years now.

  All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

This patch fixes an issue that the sci_remove() could not remove
dev_attr_rx_fifo_timeout because uart_remove_one_port() set
the port-&gt;port.type to PORT_UNKNOWN.

<id>urn:sha1:991a25194097006ec1e0d2e0814ff920e59e3465</id>
<content type='text'>
On architectures with CBAUDEX == 0 (Alpha and PowerPC), the code in tty_baudrate.c does
not do any limit checking on the tty_baudrate[] array, and in fact a
buffer overrun is possible on both architectures. Add a limit check to
prevent that situation.

This will be followed by a much bigger cleanup/simplification patch.

<content type='text'>
If you run aptitude on framebuffer console, the display is corrupted. The
corruption is caused by the commit d8ae7242. The patch adds "offset" to
"start" when calling scr_memsetw, but it forgets to do the same addition
on a subsequent call to do_update_region.

Move remaining definitions and declarations from include/linux/bootmem.h
into include/linux/memblock.h and remove the redundant header.

The includes were replaced with the semantic patch below and then
semi-automated removal of duplicated '#include &lt;linux/memblock.h&gt;

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
  that work.

  The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
  been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
  specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
  new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
  difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
  fields.

  At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
  the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
  bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
  definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
  bytes.

  This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
  For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
  can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
  rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
  si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
  used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
  the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
  verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.

  I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
  anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
  I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
  to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.

  Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
  sigqueueinfo over si-&gt;signo, so bit the bullet and added the
  complexity necessary to handle that case.

  Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
  number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
  will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
  have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
  signal numbers are handled"
