commit 77fc95f8c0dc9e1f8e620ec14d2fb65028fb7adc upstream.

Rather than accounting in bytes and multiplying (shifting), we can just
account in bits and avoid the shift. The main motivation for this is
there are other patches in flux that expand this code a bit, and
avoiding the duplication of "* 8" everywhere makes things a bit clearer.

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.

commit 9b29b6b20376ab64e1b043df6301d8a92378e631 upstream.

The current flow expands to:

    if (crng_ready())
       ...
    else if (...)
        if (!crng_ready())
            ...

The second crng_ready() call is redundant, but can't so easily be
optimized out by the compiler.

This commit simplifies that to:

    if (crng_ready()
        ...
    else if (...)
        ...

<title>crypto: drbg - make reseeding from get_random_bytes() synchronous</title>

<id>072cd87d12a8ba472a6b95e66cf5b0c8f642f658</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 074bcd4000e0d812bc253f86fedc40f81ed59ccc upstream.

get_random_bytes() usually hasn't full entropy available by the time DRBG
instances are first getting seeded from it during boot. Thus, the DRBG
implementation registers random_ready_callbacks which would in turn
schedule some work for reseeding the DRBGs once get_random_bytes() has
sufficient entropy available.

For reference, the relevant history around handling DRBG (re)seeding in
the context of a not yet fully seeded get_random_bytes() is:

  commit 16b369a91d0d ("random: Blocking API for accessing
                        nonblocking_pool")
  commit 4c7879907edd ("crypto: drbg - add async seeding operation")

  commit 205a525c3342 ("random: Add callback API for random pool
                        readiness")
  commit 57225e679788 ("crypto: drbg - Use callback API for random
                        readiness")
  commit c2719503f5e1 ("random: Remove kernel blocking API")

However, some time later, the initialization state of get_random_bytes()
has been made queryable via rng_is_initialized() introduced with commit
9a47249d444d ("random: Make crng state queryable"). This primitive now
allows for streamlining the DRBG reseeding from get_random_bytes() by
replacing that aforementioned asynchronous work scheduling from
random_ready_callbacks with some simpler, synchronous code in
drbg_generate() next to the related logic already present therein. Apart
from improving overall code readability, this change will also enable DRBG
users to rely on wait_for_random_bytes() for ensuring that the initial
seeding has completed, if desired.

The previous patches already laid the grounds by making drbg_seed() to
record at each DRBG instance whether it was being seeded at a time when
rng_is_initialized() still had been false as indicated by
-&gt;seeded == DRBG_SEED_STATE_PARTIAL.

All that remains to be done now is to make drbg_generate() check for this
condition, determine whether rng_is_initialized() has flipped to true in
the meanwhile and invoke a reseed from get_random_bytes() if so.

Make this move:
- rename the former drbg_async_seed() work handler, i.e. the one in charge
  of reseeding a DRBG instance from get_random_bytes(), to
  "drbg_seed_from_random()",
- change its signature as appropriate, i.e. make it take a struct
  drbg_state rather than a work_struct and change its return type from
  "void" to "int" in order to allow for passing error information from
  e.g. its __drbg_seed() invocation onwards to callers,
- make drbg_generate() invoke this drbg_seed_from_random() once it
  encounters a DRBG instance with -&gt;seeded == DRBG_SEED_STATE_PARTIAL by
  the time rng_is_initialized() has flipped to true and
- prune everything related to the former, random_ready_callback based
  mechanism.

As drbg_seed_from_random() is now getting invoked from drbg_generate() with
the -&gt;drbg_mutex being held, it must not attempt to recursively grab it
once again. Remove the corresponding mutex operations from what is now
drbg_seed_from_random(). Furthermore, as drbg_seed_from_random() can now
report errors directly to its caller, there's no need for it to temporarily
switch the DRBG's -&gt;seeded state to DRBG_SEED_STATE_UNSEEDED so that a
failure of the subsequently invoked __drbg_seed() will get signaled to
drbg_generate(). Don't do it then.

commit 1ce6c8d68f8ac587f54d0a271ac594d3d51f3efb upstream.

get_random_bytes_user() checks for signals after producing a PAGE_SIZE
worth of output, just like /dev/zero does. write_pool() is doing
basically the same work (actually, slightly more expensive), and so
should stop to check for signals in the same way. Let's also name it
write_pool_user() to match get_random_bytes_user(), so this won't be
misused in the future.

Before this patch, massive writes to /dev/urandom would tie up the
process for an extremely long time and make it unterminatable. After, it
can be successfully interrupted. The following test program can be used
to see this works as intended:

  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
  #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;signal.h&gt;
  #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;

  static unsigned char x[~0U];

  static void handle(int) { }

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
    pid_t pid = getpid(), child;
    int fd;
    signal(SIGUSR1, handle);
    if (!(child = fork())) {
      for (;;)
        kill(pid, SIGUSR1);
    }
    fd = open("/dev/urandom", O_WRONLY);
    pause();
    printf("interrupted after writing %zd bytes\n", write(fd, x, sizeof(x)));
    close(fd);
    kill(child, SIGTERM);
    return 0;
  }

Result before: "interrupted after writing 2147479552 bytes"
Result after: "interrupted after writing 4096 bytes"

commit 79025e727a846be6fd215ae9cdb654368ac3f9a6 upstream.

Now that random/urandom is using {read,write}_iter, we can wire it up to
using the generic splice handlers.

 does not work for read, though it does for write, because of a file

 separately.]

commit 22b0a222af4df8ee9bb8e07013ab44da9511b047 upstream.

Now that the read side has been converted to fix a regression with
splice, convert the write side as well to have some symmetry in the
interface used (and help deprecate -&gt;write()).

[Jason: cleaned up random_ioctl a bit, require full writes in
 RNDADDENTROPY since it's crediting entropy, simplify control flow of
 write_pool(), and incorporate suggestions from Al.]

commit 1b388e7765f2eaa137cf5d92b47ef5925ad83ced upstream.

This is a pre-requisite to wiring up splice() again for the random
and urandom drivers. It also allows us to remove the INT_MAX check in
getrandom(), because import_single_range() applies capping internally.

<title>random: unify batched entropy implementations</title>

commit 3092adcef3ffd2ef59634998297ca8358461ebce upstream.

There are currently two separate batched entropy implementations, for
u32 and u64, with nearly identical code, with the goal of avoiding
unaligned memory accesses and letting the buffers be used more
efficiently. Having to maintain these two functions independently is a
bit of a hassle though, considering that they always need to be kept in
sync.

This commit factors them out into a type-generic macro, so that the
expansion produces the same code as before, such that diffing the
assembly shows no differences. This will also make it easier in the
future to add u16 and u8 batches.

This was initially tested using an always_inline function and letting
gcc constant fold the type size in, but the code gen was less efficient,
and in general it was more verbose and harder to follow. So this patch
goes with the boring macro solution, similar to what's already done for
the _wait functions in random.h.
