drivers: char: random: add get_random_long()

2016-02-27T18:28:52Z

Commit d07e22597d1d ("mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR") added the ability to choose from a range of values to use for entropy count in generating the random offset to the mmap_base address. The maximum value on this range was set to 32 bits for 64-bit x86 systems, but this value could be increased further, requiring more than the 32 bits of randomness provided by get_random_int(), as is already possible for arm64. Add a new function: get_random_long() which more naturally fits with the mmap usage of get_random_int() but operates exactly the same as get_random_int(). Also, fix the shifting constant in mmap_rnd() to be an unsigned long so that values greater than 31 bits generate an appropriate mask without overflow. This is especially important on x86, as its shift instruction uses a 5-bit mask for the shift operand, which meant that any value for mmap_rnd_bits over 31 acts as a no-op and effectively disables mmap_base randomization. Finally, replace calls to get_random_int() with get_random_long() where appropriate. This patch (of 2): Add get_random_long().

random: Remove kernel blocking API

2015-06-10T11:14:04Z

This patch removes the kernel blocking API as it has been completely replaced by the callback API. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

random: Add callback API for random pool readiness

2015-06-10T11:13:56Z

The get_blocking_random_bytes API is broken because the wait can be arbitrarily long (potentially forever) so there is no safe way of calling it from within the kernel. This patch replaces it with a callback API instead. The callback is invoked potentially from interrupt context so the user needs to schedule their own work thread if necessary. In addition to adding callbacks, they can also be removed as otherwise this opens up a way for user-space to allocate kernel memory with no bound (by opening algif_rng descriptors and then closing them).

random: Blocking API for accessing nonblocking_pool

2015-05-27T09:51:53Z

The added API calls provide a synchronous function call get_blocking_random_bytes where the caller is blocked until the nonblocking_pool is initialized. CC: Andreas Steffen CC: Theodore Ts'o CC: Sandy Harris Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

random: Wake up all getrandom(2) callers when pool is ready

2015-05-27T09:51:45Z

If more than one application invokes getrandom(2) before the pool is ready, then all bar one will be stuck forever because we use wake_up_interruptible which wakes up a single task. This patch replaces it with wake_up_all. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu

random: Fix fast_mix() function

2015-02-09T20:28:42Z

There was a bad typo in commit 43759d4f429c ("random: use an improved fast_mix() function") and I didn't notice because it "looked right", so I saw what I expected to see when I reviewed it. Only months later did I look and notice it's not the Threefish-inspired mix function that I had designed and optimized. Mea Culpa. Each input bit still has a chance to affect each output bit, and the fast pool is spilled *long* before it fills, so it's not a total disaster, but it's definitely not the intended great improvement. I'm still working on finding better rotation constants. These are good enough, but since it's unrolled twice, it's possible to get better mixing for free by using eight different constants rather than repeating the same four.

random: add and use memzero_explicit() for clearing data

2014-10-17T15:37:29Z

zatimend has reported that in his environment (3.16/gcc4.8.3/corei7) memset() calls which clear out sensitive data in extract_{buf,entropy, entropy_user}() in random driver are being optimized away by gcc. Add a helper memzero_explicit() (similarly as explicit_bzero() variants) that can be used in such cases where a variable with sensitive data is being cleared out in the end. Other use cases might also be in crypto code. [ I have put this into lib/string.c though, as it's always built-in and doesn't need any dependencies then. ] Fixes kernel bugzilla: 82041 Reported-by: zatimend@hotmail.co.uk Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Acked-by: Hannes Frederic Sowa Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
