vt: keyboard, extend func_buf_lock to readers
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. Use already allocated, but unused 'kbs->kb_string' for that purpose. Note that the program above needs at least CAP_SYS_TTY_CONFIG. This depends on the previous patch and on the func_buf_lock lock added in commit 46ca3f735f34 (tty/vt: fix write/write race in ioctl(KDSKBSENT) handler) in 5.2. Likely fixes CVE-2020-25656.
