commit 015664d15270a112c2371d812f03f7c579b35a73 upstream.

The Rio500 kernel driver has not been used by Rio500 owners since 2001
not long after the rio500 project added support for a user-space USB stack
through the very first versions of usbdevfs and then libusb.

Support for the kernel driver was removed from the upstream utilities
in 2008:

<title>siphash: add cryptographically secure PRF</title>

<id>urn:sha1:994fcca7f1c93f4e78008d5806c68067d3b75487</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2c956a60778cbb6a27e0c7a8a52a91378c90e1d1 upstream.

SipHash is a 64-bit keyed hash function that is actually a
cryptographically secure PRF, like HMAC. Except SipHash is super fast,
and is meant to be used as a hashtable keyed lookup function, or as a
general PRF for short input use cases, such as sequence numbers or RNG
chaining.

For the first usage:

There are a variety of attacks known as "hashtable poisoning" in which an
attacker forms some data such that the hash of that data will be the
same, and then preceeds to fill up all entries of a hashbucket. This is
a realistic and well-known denial-of-service vector. Currently
hashtables use jhash, which is fast but not secure, and some kind of
rotating key scheme (or none at all, which isn't good). SipHash is meant
as a replacement for jhash in these cases.

There are a modicum of places in the kernel that are vulnerable to
hashtable poisoning attacks, either via userspace vectors or network
vectors, and there's not a reliable mechanism inside the kernel at the
moment to fix it. The first step toward fixing these issues is actually
getting a secure primitive into the kernel for developers to use. Then
we can, bit by bit, port things over to it as deemed appropriate.

While SipHash is extremely fast for a cryptographically secure function,
it is likely a bit slower than the insecure jhash, and so replacements
will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on whether or not the
difference in speed is negligible and whether or not the current jhash usage
poses a real security risk.

For the second usage:

A few places in the kernel are using MD5 or SHA1 for creating secure
sequence numbers, syn cookies, port numbers, or fast random numbers.
SipHash is a faster and more fitting, and more secure replacement for MD5
in those situations. Replacing MD5 and SHA1 with SipHash for these uses is
obvious and straight-forward, and so is submitted along with this patch
series. There shouldn't be much of a debate over its efficacy.

Dozens of languages are already using this internally for their hash
tables and PRFs. Some of the BSDs already use this in their kernels.
SipHash is a widely known high-speed solution to a widely known set of
problems, and it's time we catch-up.

commit cb5d21946d2a2f4687c482ab4604af1d29dac35a upstream.

Sasha has somehow been convinced into helping me with the stable kernel
maintenance.  Codify this slip in good judgement before he realizes what
he really signed up for :)

<content type='text'>
commit e8dfe6d8f6762d515fcd4f30577f7bfcf7659887 upstream.

Mark reported that having asterisks on the end of directory names
confuses get_maintainer.pl when it encounters subdirectories, and that
my name does not appear when run on drivers/firmware/efi/libstub.

The old web page for the hwmon subsystem is no longer operational,
and the mailing list has become unreliable. Move both to kernel.org.
