Commit daae28debcb0 has moved add_early_randomness() out of the
rng_mutex and tries to protect the reference of the new rng device
by incrementing the reference counter.

But in hwrng_register(), the function can be called with a new device
that is not set as the current_rng device and the reference has not been
initialized. This patch fixes the problem by not using the reference
counter when the device is not the current one: the reference counter
is only meaningful in the case of the current rng device and a device
is not used if it is not the current one (except in hwrng_register())

The problem has been reported by Marek Szyprowski on ARM 32bit
Exynos5420-based Chromebook Peach-Pit board:

add_early_randomness() is called every time a new rng backend is added
and every time it is set as the current rng provider.

add_early_randomness() is called from functions locking rng_mutex,
and if it hangs all the hw_random framework hangs: we can't read sysfs,
add or remove a backend.

This patch move add_early_randomness() out of the rng_mutex zone.
It only needs the reading_mutex.

add_early_randomness() is called by hwrng_register() when the
hardware is added. If this hardware and its module are present
at boot, and if there is no data available the boot hangs until
data are available and can't be interrupted.

For instance, in the case of virtio-rng, in some cases the host can be
not able to provide enough entropy for all the guests.

We can have two easy ways to reproduce the problem but they rely on
misconfiguration of the hypervisor or the egd daemon:

- if virtio-rng device is configured to connect to the egd daemon of the
host but when the virtio-rng driver asks for data the daemon is not
connected,

- if virtio-rng device is configured to connect to the egd daemon of the
host but the egd daemon doesn't provide data.

The guest kernel will hang at boot until the virtio-rng driver provides
enough data.

To avoid that, call rng_get_data() in non-blocking mode (wait=0)
from add_early_randomness().

The hwrng_fill() function can run while devices are suspending and
resuming. If the hwrng is behind a bus such as i2c or SPI and that bus
is suspended, the hwrng may hang the bus while attempting to add some
randomness. It's been observed on ChromeOS devices with suspend-to-idle
(s2idle) and an i2c based hwrng that this kthread may run and ask the
hwrng device for randomness before the i2c bus has been resumed.

Let's make this kthread freezable so that we don't try to touch the
hwrng during suspend/resume. This ensures that we can't cause the hwrng
backing driver to get into a bad state because the device is guaranteed
to be resumed before the hwrng kthread is thawed.

<title>hwrng: core - document the quality field</title>

quality field is currently documented as being 'per mill'.  In fact the
math involved is:

                add_hwgenerator_randomness((void *)rng_fillbuf, rc,
                                           rc * current_quality * 8 &gt;&gt; 10);

thus the actual definition is "bits of entropy per 1024 bits of input".

The current documentation seems to have confused multiple people
in the past, let's fix the documentation to match code.

An alternative is to change core to match driver expectations, replacing
	rc * current_quality * 8 &gt;&gt; 10
with
	rc * current_quality / 1000
but that has performance costs, so probably isn't a good option.

Fixes: 0f734e6e768 ("hwrng: add per-device entropy derating")

quality field is currently documented as being 'per mill'.  In fact the
math involved is:

                add_hwgenerator_randomness((void *)rng_fillbuf, rc,
                                           rc * current_quality * 8 &gt;&gt; 10);

thus the actual definition is "bits of entropy per 1024 bits of input".

The current documentation seems to have confused multiple people
in the past, let's fix the documentation to match code.

An alternative is to change core to match driver expectations, replacing
	rc * current_quality * 8 &gt;&gt; 10
with
	rc * current_quality / 1000
but that has performance costs, so probably isn't a good option.

<title>hwrng: core - Always drop the RNG in hwrng_unregister()</title>

enable_best_rng() is used in hwrng_unregister() to switch away from the
currently active RNG, if that is the one currently being removed.
However enable_best_rng() might fail, if the next RNG's init routine
fails. In that case enable_best_rng() will return an error code and
the currently active RNG will remain active.
After unregistering this might lead to crashes due to use-after-free.

Fix this by dropping the currently active RNG, if enable_best_rng()
failed. This will result in no RNG to be active, if the next-best
one failed to initialize.

<title>hwrng: core - Clean up RNG list when last hwrng is unregistered</title>

Commit 142a27f0a731 added support for a "best" RNG, and in doing so
introduced a hang from rmmod/modprobe -r when the last RNG on the list
was unloaded.

When the hwrng list is depleted, return the global variables to their
original state and decrement all references to the object.
