Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "These updates continue to refine the work began in 5.17 and 5.18 of
  modernizing the RNG's crypto and streamlining and documenting its
  code.

  New for 5.19, the updates aim to improve entropy collection methods
  and make some initial decisions regarding the "premature next" problem
  and our threat model. The cloc utility now reports that random.c is
  931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics
  like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that
  this is very much a manageable driver now.

  Here's a summary of the various updates:

   - The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at
     least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most
     collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC,
     but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
     contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
     up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
     have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
     clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.

     Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
     not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
     stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
     from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
     the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
     testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
     should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
     I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.

   - Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
     MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
     combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
     lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.

   - With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
     the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
     construction.

   - Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
     jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
     amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
     is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
     only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
     but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
     wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
     degree.

     This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
     should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
     maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
     today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
     that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
     down the road, that's something we can revisit.

   - We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
     suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
     suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
     as RDRAND when available.

   - Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
     RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
     types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.

   - The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
     in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
     expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
     a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
     of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
     estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
     128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
     fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
     in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
     initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
     like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().

   - The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
     model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
     tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
     thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
     practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
     RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
     making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
     first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
     issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
     particularly nice.

     This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
     is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
     https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
     thread worth skimming through.

   - While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
     that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
     mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
     disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
     hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
     redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.

   - Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
     implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
     cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
     entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.

   - As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
     example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
     constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.

   - Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
     thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
     initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
     off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
     section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
     is ready.

   - A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
     initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
     optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
     it possible to remove those functions.

   - A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
     /dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
     Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
     use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
     should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
     the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.

   - The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
     .read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
     to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
     splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
     places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
     a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
     bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
     fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
     than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
     Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
     removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
     general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.

   - Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.

   - A small SipHash cleanup"

     but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
     contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
     up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
     have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
     clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.

     Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
     not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
     stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
     from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
     the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
     testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
     should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
     I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.

   - Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
     MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
     combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
     lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.

   - With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
     the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
     construction.

   - Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
     jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
     amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
     is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
     only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
     but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
     wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
     degree.

     This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
     should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
     maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
     today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
     that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
     down the road, that's something we can revisit.

   - We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
     suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
     suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
     as RDRAND when available.

   - Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
     RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
     types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.

   - The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
     in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
     expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
     a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
     of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
     estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
     128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
     fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
     in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
     initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
     like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().

   - The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
     model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
     tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
     thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
     practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
     RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
     making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
     first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
     issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
     particularly nice.

     This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
     is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
     https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
     thread worth skimming through.

   - While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
     that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
     mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
     disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
     hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
     redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.

   - Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
     implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
     cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
     entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.

   - As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
     example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
     constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.

   - Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
     thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
     initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
     off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
     section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
     is ready.

   - A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
     initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
     optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
     it possible to remove those functions.

   - A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
     /dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
     Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
     use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
     should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
     the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.

   - The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
     .read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
     to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
     splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
     places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
     a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
     bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
     fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
     than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
     Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
     removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
     general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.

   - Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.

   - A small SipHash cleanup"

<title>kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link, removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS</title>

include/{linux,asm-generic}/export.h defines a weak symbol, __crc_*
as a placeholder.

Genksyms writes the version CRCs into the linker script, which will be
used for filling the __crc_* symbols. The linker script format depends
on CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS. If it is enabled, __crc_* holds the offset
to the reference of CRC.

It is time to get rid of this complexity.

Now that modpost parses text files (.*.cmd) to collect all the CRCs,
it can generate C code that will be linked to the vmlinux or modules.

Generate a new C file, .vmlinux.export.c, which contains the CRCs of
symbols exported by vmlinux. It is compiled and linked to vmlinux in
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh.

Put the CRCs of symbols exported by modules into the existing *.mod.c
files. No additional build step is needed for modules. As before,
*.mod.c are compiled and linked to *.ko in scripts/Makefile.modfinal.

No linker magic is used here. The new C implementation works in the
same way, whether CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled or not.
CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS is no longer needed.

Previously, Kbuild invoked additional $(LD) to update the CRCs in
objects, but this step is unneeded too.

The macros implementing Atari ROM port I/O writes do not cast away their
output, unlike similar implementations for other I/O buses.
When they are combined using conditional expressions in the definitions of
outb() and friends, this triggers sparse warnings like:

    drivers/net/appletalk/cops.c:382:17: error: incompatible types in conditional expression (different base types):
    drivers/net/appletalk/cops.c:382:17:    unsigned char

Fix this by adding casts to "void".

<title>m68k: Switch to new sys-off handler API</title>

Kernel now supports chained power-off handlers. Use
register_power_off_handler() that registers power-off handlers and
do_kernel_power_off() that invokes chained power-off handlers. Legacy
pm_power_off() will be removed once all drivers will be converted to
the new sys-off API.

Normally arch code should adopt only the do_kernel_power_off() at first,
but m68k is a special case because it uses pm_power_off() "inside out",
i.e. pm_power_off() invokes machine_power_off() [in fact it does nothing],
while it's machine_power_off() that should invoke the pm_power_off(), and
thus, we can't convert platforms to the new API separately. There are only
two platforms changed here, so it's not a big deal.

Add a few required defines to support using the binfmt_elf_fdpic
loader on the m68k architecture. The values are defined to be consistent
with those used on arm and sh which support this too.

The most important m68k specific change is the register initialization.
The pt_reg structure only contains a subset of the architecture general
registers, so we are more limited than to be expected on what can be used.
