* random: handle archrandom with multiple longsJason A. Donenfeld2022-07-251-37/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The archrandom interface was originally designed for x86, which supplies RDRAND/RDSEED for receiving random words into registers, resulting in one function to generate an int and another to generate a long. However, other architectures don't follow this. On arm64, the SMCCC TRNG interface can return between one and three longs. On s390, the CPACF TRNG interface can return arbitrary amounts, with four longs having the same cost as one. On UML, the os_getrandom() interface can return arbitrary amounts. So change the api signature to take a "max_longs" parameter designating the maximum number of longs requested, and then return the number of longs generated. Since callers need to check this return value and loop anyway, each arch implementation does not bother implementing its own loop to try again to fill the maximum number of longs. Additionally, all existing callers pass in a constant max_longs parameter. Taken together, these two things mean that the codegen doesn't really change much for one-word-at-a-time platforms, while performance is greatly improved on platforms such as s390.

* random: remove CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOMJason A. Donenfeld2022-07-181-10/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When RDRAND was introduced, there was much discussion on whether it should be trusted and how the kernel should handle that. Initially, two mechanisms cropped up, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM, a compile time switch, and "nordrand", a boot-time switch. Later the thinking evolved. With a properly designed RNG, using RDRAND values alone won't harm anything, even if the outputs are malicious. Rather, the issue is whether those values are being *trusted* to be good or not. And so a new set of options were introduced as the real ones that people use -- CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu". With these options, RDRAND is used, but it's not always credited. So in the worst case, it does nothing, and in the best case, maybe it helps. Along the way, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM's meaning got sort of pulled into the center and became something certain platforms force-select. The old options don't really help with much, and it's a bit odd to have special handling for these instructions when the kernel can deal fine with the existence or untrusted existence or broken existence or non-existence of that CPU capability. Simplify the situation by removing CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM and using the ordinary asm-generic fallback pattern instead, keeping the two options that are actually used. For now it leaves "nordrand" for now, as the removal of that will take a different route.

* x86, random: Enable the RDSEED instructionH. Peter Anvin2014-03-191-1/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upcoming Intel silicon adds a new RDSEED instruction, which is similar to RDRAND but provides a stronger guarantee: unlike RDRAND, RDSEED will always reseed the PRNG from the true random number source between each read. Thus, the output of RDSEED is guaranteed to be 100% entropic, unlike RDRAND which is only architecturally guaranteed to be 1/512 entropic (although in practice is much more.) The RDSEED instruction takes the same time to execute as RDRAND, but RDSEED unlike RDRAND can legitimately return failure (CF=0) due to entropy exhaustion if too many threads on too many cores are hammering the RDSEED instruction at the same time. Therefore, we have to be more conservative and only use it in places where we can tolerate failures. This patch introduces the primitives arch_get_random_seed_{int,long}() but does not use it yet.

* x86, random: Architectural inlines to get random integers with RDRANDH. Peter Anvin2011-07-311-0/+73
Architectural inlines to get random ints and longs using the RDRAND instruction. Intel has introduced a new RDRAND instruction, a Digital Random Number Generator (DRNG), which is functionally an high bandwidth entropy source, cryptographic whitener, and integrity monitor all built into hardware. This enables RDRAND to be used directly, bypassing the kernel random number pool. For technical documentation, see: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-bull-mountain-software-implementation-guide/ In this patch, this is *only* used for the nonblocking random number pool. RDRAND is a nonblocking source, similar to our /dev/urandom, and is therefore not a direct replacement for /dev/random. The architectural hooks presented in the previous patch only feed the kernel internal users, which only use the nonblocking pool, and so this is not a problem. Since this instruction is available in userspace, there is no reason to have a /dev/hw_rng device driver for the purpose of feeding rngd. This is especially so since RDRAND is a nonblocking source, and needs additional whitening and reduction (see the above technical documentation for details) in order to be of "pure entropy source" quality. The CONFIG_EXPERT compile-time option can be used to disable this use of RDRAND. Signed-off-by: H.
