Tetsuo Handa a6a00d7e8f fbcon: Use kzalloc() in fbcon_prepare_logo()
A kernel built with syzbot's config file reported that

  scr_memcpyw(q, save, array3_size(logo_lines, new_cols, 2))

causes uninitialized "save" to be copied.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
