PATCH 2/22 /dev/random: Cleanup sleep logic

In reply to Matt Mackall

Cleanup /dev/random sleep logic

Original code checked in output pool rather than input pool for wakeup Move to wait_event_interruptible style
Delete superfluous waitqueue

PATCH 4/22 /dev/random: remove outdated RNDGETPOOL ioctl

In reply to Matt Mackall

/dev/random remove outdated RNDGETPOOL ioctl

Remove RNDGETPOOL ioctl, which has outlived its usefulness for debugging as it only atomically captures the state of one pool. There's no other value (except to attackers) of direct access to the input pool from userspace.

PATCH 9/22 /dev/random: more robust catastrophic reseed logic

In reply to Matt Mackall

/dev/random more robust catastrophic reseed logic

When reseeding, we always do a "catastrophic reseed" where we pull enough new bits to make the new state unguessable from outputs even if we knew the old state. So we must do the checks against the minimum reseed amount under the pool lock in extract_entropy.

cover /dev/random: Assorted fixes and cleanups

This is a collection of fixes and cleanups for the Linux /dev/random driver including:

- more robust/correct entropy accounting and reseed logic
- starvation avoidance for simultaneous /dev/random and /dev/urandom users
- remove entropy batching
- wakeup bug fix
- remove various legacy code
- remove i386isms

I've broken this into a bunch of very simple bits, so I'm afraid the patch count is rather high by non-gregkh standards.

These patches have been tested by various people since pre-2.6.0 and have been in my -tiny tree since its inception. Andrew, please queue these in -mm for wider testing/review.

PATCH 3/22 /dev/random: remove broken resizing sysctl

In reply to Matt Mackall

/dev/random remove broken resizing sysctl

Remove random pool resizing sysctl. It's racy in hard to fix ways and doesn't really warrant fixing. 4kbits (512 bytes) of entropy pool should be more than big enough and too small to be a memory concern. It also doesn't adjust the other pool size(s).

PATCH 20/22 /dev/random: cleanup rol bitop

In reply to Matt Mackall

/dev/random cleanup rol bitop

We've got three definitions of rotate_left. Remove x86 and duplicate rotate definitions. Remaining definition is fixed up such that recent gcc will generate rol instructions on x86 at least.

PATCH 21/22 /dev/random: kill batching of entropy mixing

/dev/random kill batching of entropy mixing

Rather than batching up entropy samples, resulting in longer lock hold times when we actually process the samples, mix in samples immediately. The trickle code should eliminate almost all the additional interrupt-time overhead this would otherwise incur, with or without locking.

Cleanup /dev/random sleep logic

Original code checked in output pool rather than input pool for wakeup

So what is the rationale for switching it over to the primary pool?

Because the primary (input) pool is where entropy appears. If we check the secondary (output) pool, we can go to sleep when there's still entropy available.

Rather than batching up entropy samples, resulting in longer lock hold times when we actually process the samples, mix in samples immediately. The trickle code should eliminate almost all the additional interrupt-time overhead this would otherwise incur, with or without locking.
