Subject: CVE-2024-41094: drm/fbdev-dma: Only set smem_start is enable per module option

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/fbdev-dma: Only set smem_start is enable per module option

Only export struct fb_info.fix.smem_start if that is required by the
user and the memory does not come from vmalloc().

Setting struct fb_info.fix.smem_start breaks systems where DMA
memory is backed by vmalloc address space. An example error is
shown below.

Additionally, DMA memory is assumed to by contiguous in physical
address space, which is not guaranteed by vmalloc().

Resolve this by checking the module flag drm_leak_fbdev_smem when
DRM allocated the instance of struct fb_info. Fbdev-dma then only
sets smem_start only if required (via FBINFO_HIDE_SMEM_START). Also
guarantee that the framebuffer is not located in vmalloc address
space.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-41094 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
