Subject[GIT PULL] random number generator updates for 5.17
Date
Hi Linus,

Please pull these random number generator updates for 5.17. They're a bit more
numerous than usual for the RNG, due to folks resubmitting patches that had
been pending prior and generally renewed interest. There are a few categories
of patches in this pull:

1) Dominik Brodowski and I traded a series back and forth for a some weeks
that fixed numerous issues related to seeds being provided at extremely
early boot by the firmware, before other parts of the kernel or of the RNG
have been initialized, both fixing some crashes and addressing correctness
around early boot randomness. One of these is marked for stable.

2) I replaced the RNG's usage of SHA-1 with BLAKE2s in the entropy extractor,
and made the construction a bit safer and more standard. This was sort of a
long overdue low hanging fruit, as we were supposed to have phased out
SHA-1 usage quite some time ago (even if all we needed here was
non-invertibility). Along the way it also made extraction 131% faster. This
required a bit of Kconfig and symbol plumbing to make things work well with
the crypto libraries, which is one of the reasons why I'm sending you this
pull early in the cycle.

3) I got rid of a truly superfluous call to RDRAND in the hot path, which
resulted in a whopping 370% increase in performance.

4) Sebastian Andrzej Siewior sent some patches regarding PREEMPT_RT, the full
series of which wasn't ready yet, but the first two preparatory cleanups
were good on their own. One of them touches files in kernel/irq/, which is
the other reason why I'm sending you this pull early in the cycle.

5) Other assorted correctness fixes from Eric Biggers, Jann Horn, Mark Brown,
Dominik Brodowski, and myself.

Thanks,
Jason
