The patch that broke text mode VGA-console scrolling is this one: "vgacon: Add check for vc_origin address range in vgacon_scroll()" commit 864f9963ec6b4b76d104d595ba28110b87158003 upstream.
How to preproduce: (1) boot a kernel that is configured to use text mode VGA-console (2) type commands: ls -l /usr/bin | less -S (3) scroll up/down with cursor-down/up keys
Above mentioned patch seems to have landed in upstream and all kernel.org stable trees with zero testing. Even minimal testing would have shown that it breaks text mode VGA-console scrolling.
Greg, Sasha, Linus, Please consider reverting that buggy patch from all affected trees.
