<id>urn:sha1:8df752b82ec59b7d23c3d56b0d9bf0fdd140ce80</id>
<content type='text'>
commit cc1e127bfa95b5fb2f9307e7168bf8b2b45b4c5e upstream.

The CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM debug option controls whether the
kernel warns about all unseeded randomness or just the first instance.
There's some complicated rate limiting and comparison to the previous
caller, such that even with CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM enabled,
developers still don't see all the messages or even an accurate count of
how many were missed. This is the result of basically parallel
mechanisms aimed at accomplishing more or less the same thing, added at
different points in random.c history, which sort of compete with the
first-instance-only limiting we have now.

It turns out, however, that nobody cares about the first unseeded
randomness instance of in-kernel users. The same first user has been
there for ages now, and nobody is doing anything about it. It isn't even
clear that anybody _can_ do anything about it. Most places that can do
something about it have switched over to using get_random_bytes_wait()
or wait_for_random_bytes(), which is the right thing to do, but there is
still much code that needs randomness sometimes during init, and as a
geeneral rule, if you're not using one of the _wait functions or the
readiness notifier callback, you're bound to be doing it wrong just
based on that fact alone.

So warning about this same first user that can't easily change is simply
not an effective mechanism for anything at all. Users can't do anything
about it, as the Kconfig text points out -- the problem isn't in
userspace code -- and kernel developers don't or more often can't react
to it.

Instead, show the warning for all instances when CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM
is set, so that developers can debug things need be, or if it isn't set,
don't show a warning at all.

At the same time, CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM now implies setting
random.ratelimit_disable=1 on by default, since if you care about one
you probably care about the other too. And we can clean up usage around
the related urandom_warning ratelimiter as well (whose behavior isn't
changing), so that it properly counts missed messages after the 10
message threshold is reached.

<title>siphash: use one source of truth for siphash permutations</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e73aaae2fa9024832e1f42e30c787c7baf61d014 upstream.

The SipHash family of permutations is currently used in three places:

- siphash.c itself, used in the ordinary way it was intended.
- random32.c, in a construction from an anonymous contributor.
- random.c, as part of its fast_mix function.

Each one of these places reinvents the wheel with the same C code, same
rotation constants, and same symmetry-breaking constants.

This commit tidies things up a bit by placing macros for the
permutations and constants into siphash.h, where each of the three .c
users can access them. It also leaves a note dissuading more users of
them from emerging.

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.

commit 14c174633f349cb41ea90c2c0aaddac157012f74 upstream.

These explicit tracepoints aren't really used and show sign of aging.
It's work to keep these up to date, and before I attempted to keep them
up to date, they weren't up to date, which indicates that they're not
really used. These days there are better ways of introspecting anyway.

<title>lib/crypto: blake2s: avoid indirect calls to compression function for Clang CFI</title>

commit d2a02e3c8bb6b347818518edff5a4b40ff52d6d8 upstream.

blake2s_compress_generic is weakly aliased by blake2s_compress. The
current harness for function selection uses a function pointer, which is
ordinarily inlined and resolved at compile time. But when Clang's CFI is
enabled, CFI still triggers when making an indirect call via a weak
symbol. This seems like a bug in Clang's CFI, as though it's bucketing
weak symbols and strong symbols differently. It also only seems to
trigger when "full LTO" mode is used, rather than "thin LTO".

Nonetheless, the function pointer method isn't so terrific anyway, so
this patch replaces it with a simple boolean, which also gets inlined
away. This successfully works around the Clang bug.

In general, I'm not too keen on all of the indirection involved here; it
clearly does more harm than good. Hopefully the whole thing can get
cleaned up down the road when lib/crypto is overhauled more
comprehensively. But for now, we go with a simple bandaid.

commit 9a1536b093bb5bf60689021275fd24d513bb8db0 upstream.

With SHA-1 no longer being used for anything performance oriented, and
also soon to be phased out entirely, we can make up for the space added
by unrolled BLAKE2s by simply re-rolling SHA-1. Since SHA-1 is so much
more complex, re-rolling it more or less takes care of the code size
added by BLAKE2s. And eventually, hopefully we'll see SHA-1 removed
entirely from most small kernel builds.

commit d8d83d8ab0a453e17e68b3a3bed1f940c34b8646 upstream.

Basically nobody should use blake2s in an HMAC construction; it already
has a keyed variant. But unfortunately for historical reasons, Noise,
used by WireGuard, uses HKDF quite strictly, which means we have to use
this. Because this really shouldn't be used by others, this commit moves
it into wireguard's noise.c locally, so that kernels that aren't using
WireGuard don't get this superfluous code baked in. On m68k systems,
this shaves off ~314 bytes.

commit 6048fdcc5f269c7f31d774c295ce59081b36e6f9 upstream.

In preparation for using blake2s in the RNG, we change the way that it
is wired-in to the build system. Instead of using ifdefs to select the
right symbol, we use weak symbols. And because ARM doesn't need the
generic implementation, we make the generic one default only if an arch
library doesn't need it already, and then have arch libraries that do
need it opt-in. So that the arch libraries can remain tristate rather
than bool, we then split the shash part from the glue code.

[ Upstream commit ee1444b5e1df4155b591d0d9b1e72853a99ea861 ]

The W=2 build pointed out that the code wasn't initializing all the
variables in the dim_cq_moder declarations with the struct initializers.
The net change here is zero since these structs were already static
const globals and were initialized with zeros by the compiler, but
removing compiler warnings has value in and of itself.

lib/dim/net_dim.c: At top level:
lib/dim/net_dim.c:54:9: warning: missing initializer for field ‘comps’ of ‘const struct dim_cq_moder’ [-Wmissing-field-initializers]
   54 |         NET_DIM_RX_EQE_PROFILES,
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from lib/dim/net_dim.c:6:
./include/linux/dim.h:45:13: note: ‘comps’ declared here
   45 |         u16 comps;
      |             ^~~~~

and repeats for the tx struct, and once you fix the comps entry then
the cq_period_mode field needs the same treatment.

Use the commonly accepted style to indicate to the compiler that we
know what we're doing, and add a comma at the end of each struct
initializer to clean up the issue, and use explicit initializers
for the fields we are initializing which makes the compiler happy.

While here and fixing these lines, clean up the code slightly with
a fix for the super long lines by removing the word "_MODERATION" from a
couple defines only used in this file.

<content type='text'>
commit e4d8a29997731b3bb14059024b24df9f784288d0 upstream.

If we pass too short string to "hex2bin" (and the string size without
the terminating NUL character is even), "hex2bin" reads one byte after
the terminating NUL character.  This patch fixes it.

Note that hex_to_bin returns -1 on error and hex2bin return -EINVAL on
error - so we can't just return the variable "hi" or "lo" on error.
This inconsistency may be fixed in the next merge window, but for the
purpose of fixing this bug, we just preserve the existing behavior and
return -1 and -EINVAL.
