Pull crypto fixes from Herbert Xu: "This fixes the following issues: - a bogus BUG_ON in ixp4xx that can be triggered by a dst buffer that is an SG list. - the error handling in hwrngd may cause a crash in case of an error. - fix a race condition in qat registration when multiple devices are present" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/crypto-2.6: hwrng: core - correct error check of kthread_run call crypto: ixp4xx - Remove bogus BUG_ON on scattered dst buffer crypto: qat - Fix invalid synchronization between register/unregister sym algs

hwrng: core - correct error check of kthread_run call

2015-07-28T06:59:54Z

The kthread_run() function can return two different error values but the hwrng core only checks for -ENOMEM. If the other error value -EINTR is returned it is assigned to hwrng_fill and later used on a kthread_stop() call which naturally crashes.

tpm, tpm_crb: fail when TPM2 ACPI table contents look corrupted

2015-07-13T21:34:12Z

At least some versions of AMI BIOS have corrupted contents in the TPM2 ACPI table and namely the physical address of the control area is set to zero. This patch changes the driver to fail gracefully when we observe a zero address instead of continuing to ioremap.

tpm: Fix initialization of the cdev

2015-07-13T21:33:57Z

When a cdev is contained in a dynamic structure the cdev parent kobj should be set to the kobj that controls the lifetime of the enclosing structure. In TPM's case this is the embedded struct device. Also, cdev_init 0's the whole structure, so all sets must be after, not before. This fixes module ref counting and cdev.

agp/intel: Fix typo in needs_ilk_vtd_wa()

2015-06-29T11:26:09Z

In needs_ilk_vtd_wa(), we pass in the GPU device but compared it against the ids for the mobile GPU and the mobile host bridge. That latter is impossible and so likely was just a typo for the desktop GPU device id (which is also buggy).
