+Subject: ARM: exynos: Fix a leaked reference by adding missing of_node_put
+
+From: Wen Yang <wen.yang99@zte.com.cn>
+
+commit 629266bf7229cd6a550075f5961f95607b823b59 upstream.
+
+The call to of_get_next_child returns a node pointer with refcount
+incremented thus it must be explicitly decremented after the last
+usage.
+
+Detected by coccinelle with warnings like:
+    arch/arm/mach-exynos/firmware.c:201:2-8: ERROR: missing of_node_put;
+        acquired a node pointer with refcount incremented on line 193,
+        but without a corresponding object release within this function.

+Subject: crypto: chacha20poly1305 - set cra_name correctly
+
+From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
+
+commit 5e27f38f1f3f45a0c938299c3a34a2d2db77165a upstream.
+
+If the rfc7539 template is instantiated with specific implementations,
+e.g. "rfc7539(chacha20-generic,poly1305-generic)" rather than
+"rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305)", then the implementation names end up
+included in the instance's cra_name.  This is incorrect because it then
+prevents all users from allocating "rfc7539(chacha20,poly1305)", if the
+highest priority implementations of chacha20 and poly1305 were selected.
+Also, the self-tests aren't run on an instance allocated in this way.
+
+Fix it by setting the instance's cra_name from the underlying
+algorithms' actual cra_names, rather than from the requested names.
+This matches what other templates do.

+Subject: crypto: crct10dif-generic - fix use via crypto_shash_digest()
+
+From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
+
+commit 307508d1072979f4435416f87936f87eaeb82054 upstream.
+
+The ->digest() method of crct10dif-generic reads the current CRC value
+from the shash_desc context.  But this value is uninitialized, causing
+crypto_shash_digest() to compute the wrong result.  Fix it.
+
+Probably this wasn't noticed before because lib/crc-t10dif.c only uses
+crypto_shash_update(), not crypto_shash_digest().  Likewise,
+crypto_shash_digest() is not yet tested by the crypto self-tests because
+those only test the ahash API which only uses shash init/update/final.
+
+This bug was detected by my patches that improve testmgr to fuzz
+algorithms against their generic implementation.

+Subject: crypto: vmx - fix copy-paste error in CTR mode
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+From: Daniel Axtens <dja@axtens.net>
+
+commit dcf7b48212c0fab7df69e84fab22d6cb7c8c0fb9 upstream.
+
+The original assembly imported from OpenSSL has two copy-paste
+errors in handling CTR mode. When dealing with a 2 or 3 block tail,
+the code branches to the CBC decryption exit path, rather than to
+the CTR exit path.
+
+This leads to corruption of the IV, which leads to subsequent blocks
+being corrupted.
+
+This can be detected with libkcapi test suite, which is available at
+https://github.com/smuellerDD/libkcapi

+On x86_64, all returns to usermode go through

+This even includes machine checks -- this was added several years

+    The mitigation is invoked in prepare_exit_to_usermode() which covers
+-   most of the kernel to user space transitions. There are a few exceptions
+-   which are not invoking prepare_exit_to_usermode() on return to user
+-   space. These exceptions use the paranoid exit code.
+-
+-   - Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI):
+-
+-     Access to sensible data like keys, credentials in the NMI context is
+-     mostly theoretical: The CPU can do prefetching or execute a
+-     misspeculated code path and thereby fetching data which might end up
+-     leaking through a buffer.
+-
+-     But for mounting other attacks the kernel stack address of the task is
+-     already valuable information. So in full mitigation mode, the NMI is
+-     mitigated on the return from do_nmi() to provide almost complete
+-     coverage.
+-
+-   - Machine Check Exception (#MC):
+-
+-     Another corner case is a #MC which hits between the CPU buffer clear
+-     invocation and the actual return to user. As this still is in kernel
+-     space it takes the paranoid exit path which does not clear the CPU
+-     buffers. So the #MC handler repopulates the buffers to some
+-     extent. Machine checks are not reliably controllable and the window is
+-     extremly small so mitigation would just tick a checkbox that this
+-     theoretical corner case is covered. To keep the amount of special
+-     cases small, ignore #MC.
+-
+-   - Debug Exception (#DB):
+-
+-     This takes the paranoid exit path only when the INT1 breakpoint is in
+-     kernel space. #DB on a user space address takes the regular exit path,
+-     so no extra mitigation required.
++   all but one of the kernel to user space transitions.  The exception
++   is when we return from a Non Maskable Interrupt (NMI), which is
++   handled directly in do_nmi().
++
++   (The reason that NMI is special is that prepare_exit_to_usermode() can
++    enable IRQs.  In NMI context, NMIs are blocked, and we don't want to
++    enable IRQs with NMIs blocked.)

+Subject: x86/speculation/mds: Revert CPU buffer clear on double fault exit
+
+From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
+
+commit 88640e1dcd089879530a49a8d212d1814678dfe7 upstream.
+
+The double fault ESPFIX path doesn't return to user mode at all --
+it returns back to the kernel by simulating a #GP fault.
+prepare_exit_to_usermode() will run on the way out of
+general_protection before running user code.
