commit 90b5d4fe0b3ba7f589c6723c6bfb559d9e83956a upstream. On a bare-metal Power8 system that doesn't have an "ibm,power-rng", a malicious QEMU and guest that ignore the absence of the KVM_CAP_PPC_HWRNG flag, and calls H_RANDOM anyway, will dereference a NULL pointer. In practice all Power8 machines have an "ibm,power-rng", but let's not rely on that, add a NULL check and early return in powernv_get_random_real_mode(). Fixes: e928e9cb3601 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add fast real-mode H_RANDOM implementation.") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.1+ Signed-off-by: Jason A.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
