Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld: - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it, there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an interval: get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil) get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX] get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil] Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in improvements throughout the tree. I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next, there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the second week. This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout. - More consistent use of get_random_canary(). - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and simplification in configuration. - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works in all relevant contexts. - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to prevent accidental leakage. These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter. - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key, replacing an sleep loop wart. - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes going through helpers better suited for other cases. - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy. But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter, without the absent latent entropy variable. - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2). - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will cause latencies. * tag 'random-6.2-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: (23 commits) random: include in the right header random: align entropy_timer_state to cache line random: mix in cycle counter when jitter timer fires random: spread out jitter callback to different CPUs random: remove extraneous period and add a missing one in comments efi: random: refresh non-volatile random seed when RNG is initialized vsprintf: initialize siphash key using notifier random: add back async readiness notifier random: reseed in delayed work rather than on-demand random: always mix cycle counter in add_latent_entropy() hw_random: use add_hwgenerator_randomness() for early entropy random: modernize documentation comment on get_random_bytes() random: adjust comment to account for removed function random: remove early archrandom abstraction random: use random.trust_{bootloader,cpu} command line option only stackprotector: actually use get_random_canary() stackprotector: move get_random_canary() into stackprotector.h treewide: use get_random_u32_inclusive() when possible treewide: use get_random_u32_{above,below}() instead of manual loop treewide: use get_random_u32_below() instead of deprecated function ...

clockevents: Repair kernel-doc for clockevent_delta2ns()

2022-12-01T12:35:41Z

Since the introduction of clockevents, i.e., commit d316c57ff6bf ("clockevents: add core functionality"), there has been a mismatch between the function and the kernel-doc comment for clockevent_delta2ns(). Hence, ./scripts/kernel-doc -none kernel/time/clockevents.c warns about it. Adjust the kernel-doc comment for clockevent_delta2ns() for make W=1 happiness.

vdso/timens: Refactor copy-pasted find_timens_vvar_page() helper into one copy

2022-12-01T10:35:40Z

find_timens_vvar_page() is not architecture-specific, as can be seen from how all five per-architecture versions of it are the same. (arm64, powerpc and riscv are exactly the same; x86 and s390 have two characters difference inside a comment, less blank lines, and mark the !CONFIG_TIME_NS version as inline.) Refactor the five copies into a central copy in kernel/time/namespace.c.

timers: Provide timer_shutdown[_sync]()

2022-11-24T14:09:12Z

Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work can arm timers, is not trivial. In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. Expose new interfaces for this: timer_shutdown_sync() and timer_shutdown(). timer_shutdown_sync() has the same functionality as timer_delete_sync() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. timer_shutdown() has the same functionality as timer_delete() plus the NULL-ification of the timer function. In both cases the rearming of the timer is prevented by silently discarding rearm attempts due to timer->function being NULL.

timers: Silently ignore timers with a NULL function

2022-11-24T14:09:11Z

Tearing down timers which have circular dependencies to other functionality, e.g. workqueues, where the timer can schedule work and work can arm timers, is not trivial. In those cases it is desired to shutdown the timer in a way which prevents rearming of the timer. The mechanism to do so is to set timer->function to NULL and use this as an indicator for the timer arming functions to ignore the (re)arm request. In preparation for that replace the warnings in the relevant code paths with checks for timer->function == NULL. If the pointer is NULL, then discard the rearm request silently. Add debug_assert_init() instead of the WARN_ON_ONCE(!timer->function) checks so that debug objects can warn about non-initialized timers. The warning of debug objects does not warn if timer->function == NULL. It warns when timer was not initialized using timer_setup[_on_stack]() or via DEFINE_TIMER(). If developers fail to enable debug objects and then waste lots of time to figure out why their non-initialized timer is not firing, they deserve it. Same for initializing a timer with a NULL function.

timers: Use del_timer_sync() even on UP

2022-11-24T14:09:11Z

del_timer_sync() is assumed to be pointless on uniprocessor systems and can be mapped to del_timer() because in theory del_timer() can never be invoked while the timer callback function is executed. This is not entirely true because del_timer() can be invoked from interrupt context and therefore hit in the middle of a running timer callback. Contrary to that del_timer_sync() is not allowed to be invoked from interrupt context unless the affected timer is marked with TIMER_IRQSAFE. del_timer_sync() has proper checks in place to detect such a situation. Give up on the UP optimization and make del_timer_sync() unconditionally available.
