random: mark bootloader randomness code as __init

2022-06-14T16:36:27Z

commit 39e0f991a62ed5efabd20711a7b6e7da92603170 upstream. add_bootloader_randomness() and the variables it touches are only used during __init and not after, so mark these as __init. At the same time, unexport this, since it's only called by other __init code that's built-in. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 428826f5358c ("fdt: add support for rng-seed") Signed-off-by: Jason A.

random: move randomize_page() into mm where it belongs

2022-05-30T07:29:17Z

commit 5ad7dd882e45d7fe432c32e896e2aaa0b21746ea upstream. randomize_page is an mm function. It is documented like one. It contains the history of one. It has the naming convention of one. It looks just like another very similar function in mm, randomize_stack_top(). And it has always been maintained and updated by mm people. There is no need for it to be in random.c. In the "which shape does not look like the other ones" test, pointing to randomize_page() is correct. So move randomize_page() into mm/util.c, right next to the similar randomize_stack_top() function. This commit contains no actual code changes. Cc: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Jason A.

random: make consistent use of buf and len

2022-05-30T07:29:17Z

commit a19402634c435a4eae226df53c141cdbb9922e7b upstream. The current code was a mix of "nbytes", "count", "size", "buffer", "in", and so forth. Instead, let's clean this up by naming input parameters "buf" (or "ubuf") and "len", so that you always understand that you're reading this variety of function argument. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

random: use proper return types on get_random_{int,long}_wait()

commit 7c3a8a1db5e03d02cc0abb3357a84b8b326dfac3 upstream. Before these were returning signed values, but the API is intended to be used with unsigned values. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

random: remove extern from functions in header

2022-05-30T07:29:17Z

commit 7782cfeca7d420e8bb707613d4cfb0f7ff29bb3a upstream. Accoriding to the kernel style guide, having `extern` on functions in headers is old school and deprecated, and doesn't add anything. So remove them from random.h, and tidy up the file a little bit too. Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

random: handle latent entropy and command line from random_init()

2022-05-30T07:29:16Z

commit 2f14062bb14b0fcfcc21e6dc7d5b5c0d25966164 upstream. Currently, start_kernel() adds latent entropy and the command line to the entropy bool *after* the RNG has been initialized, deferring when it's actually used by things like stack canaries until the next time the pool is seeded. This surely is not intended. Rather than splitting up which entropy gets added where and when between start_kernel() and random_init(), just do everything in random_init(), which should eliminate these kinds of bugs in the future. While we're at it, rename the awkwardly titled "rand_initialize()" to the more standard "random_init()" nomenclature. Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Jason A.

random: replace custom notifier chain with standard one

2022-05-30T07:29:10Z

commit 5acd35487dc911541672b3ffc322851769c32a56 upstream. We previously rolled our own randomness readiness notifier, which only has two users in the whole kernel. Replace this with a more standard atomic notifier block that serves the same purpose with less code. Also unexport the symbols, because no modules use it, only unconditional builtins. The only drawback is that it's possible for a notification handler returning the "stop" code to prevent further processing, but given that there are only two users, and that we're unexporting this anyway, that doesn't seem like a significant drawback for the simplification we receive here.

random: clear fast pool, crng, and batches in cpuhp bring up

2022-05-30T07:29:09Z

commit 3191dd5a1179ef0fad5a050a1702ae98b6251e8f upstream. For the irq randomness fast pool, rather than having to use expensive atomics, which were visibly the most expensive thing in the entire irq handler, simply take care of the extreme edge case of resetting count to zero in the cpuhp online handler, just after workqueues have been reenabled. This simplifies the code a bit and lets us use vanilla variables rather than atomics, and performance should be improved. As well, very early on when the CPU comes up, while interrupts are still disabled, we clear out the per-cpu crng and its batches, so that it always starts with fresh randomness.

random: pull add_hwgenerator_randomness() declaration into random.h

2022-05-30T07:29:09Z

commit b777c38239fec5a528e59f55b379e31b1a187524 upstream. add_hwgenerator_randomness() is a function implemented and documented inside of random.c. It is the way that hardware RNGs push data into it. Therefore, it should be declared in random.h. Otherwise sparse complains with: random.c:1137:6: warning: symbol 'add_hwgenerator_randomness' was not declared. Should it be static? The alternative would be to include hw_random.h into random.c, but that wouldn't really be good for anything except slowing down compile time.
