commit 3e14dcf7cb80b34a1f38b55bc96f02d23fdaaaaf upstream.

Commit 5d26a105b5a7 ("crypto: prefix module autoloading with "crypto-"")
changed the automatic module loading when requesting crypto algorithms
to prefix all module requests with "crypto-". This requires all crypto
modules to have a crypto specific module alias even if their file name
would otherwise match the requested crypto algorithm.

Even though commit 5d26a105b5a7 added those aliases for a vast amount of
modules, it was missing a few. Add the required MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO
annotations to those files to make them get loaded automatically, again.
This fixes, e.g., requesting 'ecb(blowfish-generic)', which used to work
with kernels v3.18 and below.

Also change MODULE_ALIAS() lines to MODULE_ALIAS_CRYPTO(). The former
won't work for crypto modules any more.

commit 4943ba16bbc2db05115707b3ff7b4874e9e3c560 upstream.

This adds the module loading prefix "crypto-" to the template lookup
as well.

For example, attempting to load 'vfat(blowfish)' via AF_ALG now correctly
includes the "crypto-" prefix at every level, correctly rejecting "vfat":

	net-pf-38
	algif-hash
	crypto-vfat(blowfish)
	crypto-vfat(blowfish)-all
	crypto-vfat

This prefixes all crypto module loading with "crypto-" so we never run
the risk of exposing module auto-loading to userspace via a crypto API,

<title>x86/apic: Re-enable PCI_MSI support for non-SMP X86_32</title>

commit 38a1dfda8e77d7ba74c94d06d8bc41ba98a4bc8c upstream.

Commit 0dbc6078c06bc0 ('x86, build, pci: Fix PCI_MSI build on !SMP')
introduced the dependency that X86_UP_APIC is only available when
PCI_MSI is false. This effectively prevents PCI_MSI support on 32bit
UP systems because it disables both APIC and IO-APIC. But APIC support
is architecturally required for PCI_MSI.

The intention of the patch was to enforce APIC support when PCI_MSI is
enabled, but failed to do so.

Remove the !PCI_MSI dependency from X86_UP_APIC and enforce
X86_UP_APIC when PCI_MSI support is enabled on 32bit UP systems.

<title>x86, tls: Interpret an all-zero struct user_desc as "no segment"</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 3669ef9fa7d35f573ec9c0e0341b29251c2734a7 upstream.

The Witcher 2 did something like this to allocate a TLS segment index:

        struct user_desc u_info;
        bzero(&amp;u_info, sizeof(u_info));
        u_info.entry_number = (uint32_t)-1;

        syscall(SYS_set_thread_area, &amp;u_info);

Strictly speaking, this code was never correct.  It should have set
read_exec_only and seg_not_present to 1 to indicate that it wanted
to find a free slot without putting anything there, or it should
have put something sensible in the TLS slot if it wanted to allocate
a TLS entry for real.  The actual effect of this code was to
allocate a bogus segment that could be used to exploit espfix.

The set_thread_area hardening patches changed the behavior, causing
set_thread_area to return -EINVAL and crashing the game.

This changes set_thread_area to interpret this as a request to find
a free slot and to leave it empty, which isn't *quite* what the game
expects but should be close enough to keep it working.  In
particular, using the code above to allocate two segments will
allocate the same segment both times.

According to FrostbittenKing on Github, this fixes The Witcher 2.

If this somehow still causes problems, we could instead allocate
a limit==0 32-bit data segment, but that seems rather ugly to me.

commit e30ab185c490e9a9381385529e0fd32f0a399495 upstream.

32-bit programs don't have an lm bit in their ABI, so they can't
reliably cause LDT_empty to return true without resorting to memset.
They shouldn't need to do this.

This should fix a longstanding, if minor, issue in all 64-bit kernels
as well as a potential regression in the TLS hardening code.

commit f3747379accba8e95d70cec0eae0582c8c182050 upstream.

SYSENTER emulation is broken in several ways:
1. It misses the case of 16-bit code segments completely (CVE-2015-0239).
2. MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_CS is checked in 64-bit mode incorrectly (bits 0 and 1 can
   still be set without causing #GP).
3. MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP and MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_ESP are not masked in
   legacy-mode.
4. There is some unneeded code.

Fix it.

commit f285f4a21c3253887caceed493089ece17579d59 upstream.

On 64-bit, relocation is not required unless the load address gets
changed. Without this, relocations do unexpected things when the kernel
is above 4G.

commit f285f4a21c3253887caceed493089ece17579d59 upstream.

On 64-bit, relocation is not required unless the load address gets
changed. Without this, relocations do unexpected things when the kernel
is above 4G.

commit 520452172e6b318f3a8bd9d4fe1e25066393de25 upstream.

Many users see this message when booting without knowning that it is
of no importance and that TSC calibration may have succeeded by
another way.

As explained by Paul Bolle in
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1348488259.1436.22.camel@x61.thuisdomein

  "Fast TSC calibration failed" should not be considered as an error
  since other calibration methods are being tried afterward. At most,
  those send a warning if they fail (not an error). So let's change
  the message from error to warning.

[ tglx: Make if pr_info. It's really not important at all ]

Fixes: c767a54ba065 x86/debug: Add KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; to bare printks, convert printks to pr_&lt;level&gt;
