commit 46d8c4b28652d35dc6cfb5adf7f54e102fc04384 upstream.

This was detected by the self-test thanks to Ard's chunking patch.

I finally got around to testing this out on my ancient Via box.  It
turns out that the workaround got the assembly wrong and we end up
doing count + initial cycles of the loop instead of just count.

This obviously causes corruption, either by overwriting the source
that is yet to be processed, or writing over the end of the buffer.

On CPUs that don't require the workaround only ECB is affected.
On Nano CPUs both ECB and CBC are affected.

This patch fixes it by doing the subtraction prior to the assembly.

It happens in the pagefault and results in double pagefault
during compacting pages when memory allocation fails.

Analysed the vmcore, the page leads to second pagefault is corrupted
with _mapcount=-256, but private=0.

It's caused by the race between migration and ballooning, and lock
missing in virtballoon_migratepage() of virtio_balloon driver.
This patch fix the bug.

[ Upstream commit 9939a46d90c6c76f4533d534dbadfa7b39dc6acc ]

As for today STMMAC_ALIGN macro (which is used to align DMA stuff)
relies on L1 line length (L1_CACHE_BYTES).
This isn't correct in case of system with several cache levels
which might have L1 cache line length smaller than L2 line. This
can lead to sharing one cache line between DMA buffer and other
data, so we can lose this data while invalidate DMA buffer before
DMA transaction.

Fix that by using SMP_CACHE_BYTES instead of L1_CACHE_BYTES for
aligning.

[ Upstream commit 822fb18a82abaf4ee7058793d95d340f5dab7bfc ]

When loading module manually, after call xenbus_switch_state to initializes
the state of the netfront device, the driver state did not change so fast
that may lead no dev created in latest kernel. This patch adds wait to make
sure xenbus knows the driver is not in closed/unknown state.

Current state:
[vm]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
	Link detected: yes
[vm]# modprobe -r xen_netfront
[vm]# modprobe  xen_netfront
[vm]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Cannot get device settings: No such device
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device
Cannot get message level: No such device
Cannot get link status: No such device
No data available

[ Upstream commit 136f55f660192ce04af091642efc75d85e017364 ]

As long the bh tasklet isn't scheduled once, no packet from the rx path
will be handled. Since the tx path also schedule the same tasklet
this situation only persits until the first packet transmission.
So fix this issue by scheduling the tasklet after link reset.

it does't work.Because the parameter is not properly
assigned,so we need to adjust the assignment order

[ Upstream commit 7f3fc7ddf719cd6faaf787722c511f6918ac6aab ]

If we enable or disable xgbe flow-control by ethtool ,
it does't work.Because the parameter is not properly
assigned,so we need to adjust the assignment order
of the parameters.

Fixes: c1ce2f77366b ("amd-xgbe: Fix flow control setting logic")

commit 81e69df38e2911b642ec121dec319fad2a4782f3 upstream.

Fedora has integrated the jitter entropy daemon to work around slow
boot problems, especially on VM's that don't support virtio-rng:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572944

It's understandable why they did this, but the Jitter entropy daemon
works fundamentally on the principle: "the CPU microarchitecture is
**so** complicated and we can't figure it out, so it *must* be
random".  Yes, it uses statistical tests to "prove" it is secure, but
AES_ENCRYPT(NSA_KEY, COUNTER++) will also pass statistical tests with
flying colors.

So if RDRAND is available, mix it into entropy submitted from
userspace.  It can't hurt, and if you believe the NSA has backdoored
RDRAND, then they probably have enough details about the Intel
microarchitecture that they can reverse engineer how the Jitter
entropy daemon affects the microarchitecture, and attack its output
stream.  And if RDRAND is in fact an honest DRNG, it will immeasurably
improve on what the Jitter entropy daemon might produce.

This also provides some protection against someone who is able to read
or set the entropy seed file.
