random: remove unused randomize_range()

2016-10-11T22:06:32Z

All call sites for randomize_range have been updated to use the much simpler and more robust randomize_addr(). Remove the now unnecessary code.

random: simplify API for random address requests

2016-10-11T22:06:32Z

To date, all callers of randomize_range() have set the length to 0, and check for a zero return value. For the current callers, the only way to get zero returned is if end <= start. Since they are all adding a constant to the start address, this is unnecessary. We can remove a bunch of needless checks by simplifying the API to do just what everyone wants, return an address between [start, start + range). While we're here, s/get_random_int/get_random_long/. No current call site is adversely affected by get_random_int(), since all current range requests are < UINT_MAX. However, we should match caller expectations to avoid coming up short (ha!) in the future. All current callers to randomize_range() chose to use the start address if randomize_range() failed. Therefore, we simplify things by just returning the start address on error. randomize_range() will be removed once all callers have been converted over to randomize_addr().

latent_entropy: Mark functions with __latent_entropy

2016-10-10T21:51:45Z

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin

2016-10-10T21:51:44Z

This adds a new gcc plugin named "latent_entropy". It is designed to extract as much possible uncertainty from a running system at boot time as possible, hoping to capitalize on any possible variation in CPU operation (due to runtime data differences, hardware differences, SMP ordering, thermal timing variation, cache behavior, etc). At the very least, this plugin is a much more comprehensive example for how to manipulate kernel code using the gcc plugin internals. The need for very-early boot entropy tends to be very architecture or system design specific, so this plugin is more suited for those sorts of special cases. The existing kernel RNG already attempts to extract entropy from reliable runtime variation, but this plugin takes the idea to a logical extreme by permuting a global variable based on any variation in code execution (e.g. a different value (and permutation function) is used to permute the global based on loop count, case statement, if/then/else branching, etc). To do this, the plugin starts by inserting a local variable in every marked function. The plugin then adds logic so that the value of this variable is modified by randomly chosen operations (add, xor and rol) and random values (gcc generates separate static values for each location at compile time and also injects the stack pointer at runtime). The resulting value depends on the control flow path (e.g., loops and branches taken). Before the function returns, the plugin mixes this local variable into the latent_entropy global variable. The value of this global variable is added to the kernel entropy pool in do_one_initcall() and _do_fork(), though it does not credit any bytes of entropy to the pool; the contents of the global are just used to mix the pool. Additionally, the plugin can pre-initialize arrays with build-time random contents, so that two different kernel builds running on identical hardware will not have the same starting values.

x86, asm: use bool for bitops and other assembly outputs

2016-06-08T19:41:20Z

The gcc people have confirmed that using "bool" when combined with inline assembly always is treated as a byte-sized operand that can be assumed to be 0 or 1, which is exactly what the SET instruction emits. Change the output types and intermediate variables of as many operations as practical to "bool". Signed-off-by: H.

drivers: char: random: add get_random_long()

2016-02-27T18:28:52Z

Commit d07e22597d1d ("mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR") added the ability to choose from a range of values to use for entropy count in generating the random offset to the mmap_base address. The maximum value on this range was set to 32 bits for 64-bit x86 systems, but this value could be increased further, requiring more than the 32 bits of randomness provided by get_random_int(), as is already possible for arm64. Add a new function: get_random_long() which more naturally fits with the mmap usage of get_random_int() but operates exactly the same as get_random_int(). Also, fix the shifting constant in mmap_rnd() to be an unsigned long so that values greater than 31 bits generate an appropriate mask without overflow. This is especially important on x86, as its shift instruction uses a 5-bit mask for the shift operand, which meant that any value for mmap_rnd_bits over 31 acts as a no-op and effectively disables mmap_base randomization. Finally, replace calls to get_random_int() with get_random_long() where appropriate. This patch (of 2): Add get_random_long().

random32: add prandom_init_once helper for own rngs

2015-10-08T12:26:38Z

Add a prandom_init_once() facility that works on the rnd_state, so that users that are keeping their own state independent from prandom_u32() can initialize their taus113 per cpu states. The motivation here is similar to net_get_random_once(): initialize the state as late as possible in the hope that enough entropy has been collected for the seeding. prandom_init_once() makes use of the recently introduced prandom_seed_full_state() helper and is generic enough so that it could also be used on fast-paths due to the DO_ONCE().
