 =======================

Wolfgang also found out that adding kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end()
around the padlock instructions fix the oops.

Suresh wrote:

These padlock instructions though don't use/touch SSE registers, but it behaves
similar to other SSE instructions. For example, it might cause DNA faults
when cr0.ts is set. While this is a spurious DNA trap, it might cause
oops with the recent fpu code changes.

This is the code sequence  that is probably causing this problem:

a) new app is getting exec'd and it is somewhere in between
   start_thread() and flush_old_exec() in the load_xyz_binary()

b) At pont "a", task's fpu state (like TS_USEDFPU, used_math() etc) is
   cleared.

c) Now we get an interrupt/softirq which starts using these encrypt/decrypt
   routines in the network stack. This generates a math fault (as
   cr0.ts is '1') which sets TS_USEDFPU and restores the math that is
   in the task's xstate.

d) Return to exec code path, which does start_thread() which does
   free_thread_xstate() and sets xstate pointer to NULL while
   the TS_USEDFPU is still set.

e) At the next context switch from the new exec'd task to another task,
   we have a scenarios where TS_USEDFPU is set but xstate pointer is null.
   This can cause an oops during unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to()

Now:

1) This should happen with or with out pre-emption. Viro also encountered
   similar problem with out CONFIG_PREEMPT.

2) kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() will fix this problem, because
   kernel_fpu_begin() will manually do a clts() and won't run in to the
   situation of setting TS_USEDFPU in step "c" above.

3) This was working before the fpu changes, because its a spurious
   math fault  which doesn't corrupt any fpu/sse registers and the task's
   math state was always in an allocated state.

With out the recent lazy fpu allocation changes, while we don't see oops,
there is a possible race still present in older kernels(for example,
while kernel is using kernel_fpu_begin() in some optimized clear/copy
page and an interrupt/softirq happens which uses these padlock
instructions generating DNA fault).

This is the failing scenario that existed even before the lazy fpu allocation
changes:

0. CPU's TS flag is set

1. kernel using FPU in some optimized copy  routine and while doing
kernel_fpu_begin() takes an interrupt just before doing clts()

2. Takes an interrupt and ipsec uses padlock instruction. And we
take a DNA fault as TS flag is still set.

3. We handle the DNA fault and set TS_USEDFPU and clear cr0.ts

4. We complete the padlock routine

5. Go back to step-1, which resumes clts() in kernel_fpu_begin(), finishes
the optimized copy routine and does kernel_fpu_end(). At this point,
we have cr0.ts again set to '1' but the task's TS_USEFPU is stilll
set and not cleared.

6. Now kernel resumes its user operation. And at the next context
switch, kernel sees it has do a FP save as TS_USEDFPU is still set
and then will do a unlazy_fpu() in __switch_to(). unlazy_fpu()
will take a DNA fault, as cr0.ts is '1' and now, because we are
in __switch_to(), math_state_restore() will get confused and will
restore the next task's FP state and will save it in prev tasks's FP state.
Remember, in __switch_to() we are already on the stack of the next task
but take a DNA fault for the prev task.

This causes the fpu leakage.

Fix the padlock instruction usage by calling them inside the
context of new routines irq_ts_save/restore(), which clear/restore cr0.ts
manually in the interrupt context. This will not generate spurious DNA
in the  context of the interrupt which will fix the oops encountered and
the possible FPU leakage issue.

      crypto: tcrypt - Fix AEAD chunk testing · f176e632
      Herbert Xu authored 
      My changeset 4b22f0dd

	crypto: tcrpyt - Remove unnecessary kmap/kunmap calls

introduced a typo that broke AEAD chunk testing.  In particular,
axbuf should really be xbuf.

There is also an issue with testing the last segment when encrypting.
The additional part produced by AEAD wasn't tested.  Similarly, on
decryption the additional part of the AEAD input is mistaken for
corruption.

      crypto: talitos - Add handling for SEC 3.x treatment of link table · f3c85bc1
      Lee Nipper authored 
      Later SEC revision requires the link table (used for scatter/gather)
to have an extra entry to account for the total length in descriptor [4],
which contains cipher Input and ICV.
This only applies to decrypt, not encrypt.
Without this change, on 837x, a gather return/length error results
when a decryption uses a link table to gather the fragments.
This is observed by doing a ping with size of 1447 or larger with AES,
or a ping with size 1455 or larger with 3des.

So, add check for SEC compatible "fsl,3.0" for using extra link table entry.
