Title:
  VIA C7-D machine "kernel NULL pointer dereference" in
  skcipher_recvmsg_async

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I'm working on an Lubuntu 15 machine. It was chosen because it
  supports VIA C7-D processor and the VIA PM400 chipset without crashing
  (also see ). Lubuntu 15 uses the 4.2 kernel:

    $ lsb_release -a
    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
    Description:	Ubuntu 15.10
    Release:	15.10
    Codename:	wily

  And:

    $ uname -a
    Linux via 4.2.0-30-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 26 00:57:19 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

  When running a particular program (details below), it hangs in syscall
  248 and results in the following dmesg/syslog output. The process
  cannot be killed, the machine does not respond to a 'shutdown -r now',
  and the machine requires a hard reset.

  **********

  The process details is this is a failed self test for the upcoming
  OpenSSL 1.1.0. The OpenSSL RT bug report for this issue is at
  http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4411. Two attempts to
  debug it resulted in two hung processes:

  $ ps -A | grep afalgtest
  1030 pts/0    00:00:00 afalgtest
  1196 pts/0    00:00:00 afalgtest

  And:

  via:test$ sudo cat /proc/1030/syscall 
  248 0xb7fd6000 0x1 0xbfff98d4 0xb7fb9270 0xbfff98e0 0xb7ec45f7 0xbfff986c 0xb7fdbbe8
  via:test$ sudo cat /proc/1196/syscall 
  248 0xb7fd6000 0x1 0xbfff98d4 0xb7fb9270 0xbfff98e0 0xb7ec45f7 0xbfff986c 0xb7fdbbe8

  Its not clear to me what that particular syscall is:

  $ cat /usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h
  ...
  /*
   * Architectures may provide up to 16 syscalls of their own
   * starting with this value.
   */
  #define __NR_arch_specific_syscall 244

  #define __NR_wait4 260
  __SC_COMP(__NR_wait4, sys_wait4, compat_sys_wait4)
  #define __NR_prlimit64 261
  __SYSCALL(__NR_prlimit64, sys_prlimit64)
  #define __NR_fanotify_init 262
  __SYSCALL(__NR_fanotify_init, sys_fanotify_init)
  #define __NR_fanotify_mark 263
  ...

  **********

  If interested, you should be able to duplicate it with the following.
  That's resuming you have the hardware.

  $ git clone git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git
  $ cd openssl

  $ ./config -d
  $ make
  $ make test/afalgtest
  $ cd test
  $ OPENSSL_ENGINES=../engines/afalg gdb ./afalgtest

  **********

  In this case, the hardware was selected for the VIA C7-D processor and
  the Padlock engine. Its relatively low-end, and can be found at
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AXR2KBQ.
