Create a new function, get_random_bytes_arch() which will use the
architecture-specific hardware random number generator if it is
present. Change get_random_bytes() to not use the HW RNG, even if it
is avaiable.
The reason for this is that the hw random number generator is fast (if
it is present), but it requires that we trust the hardware
manufacturer to have not put in a back door. (For example, an
increasing counter encrypted by an AES key known to the NSA.)
It's unlikely that Intel (for example) was paid off by the US
Government to do this, but it's impossible for them to prove otherwise
--- especially since Bull Mountain is documented to use AES as a
whitener. Hence, the output of an evil, trojan-horse version of
RDRAND is statistically indistinguishable from an RDRAND implemented
to the specifications claimed by Intel. Short of using a tunnelling
electronic microscope to reverse engineer an Ivy Bridge chip and
disassembling and analyzing the CPU microcode, there's no way for us
to tell for sure.
Since users of get_random_bytes() in the Linux kernel need to be able
to support hardware systems where the HW RNG is not present, most
time-sensitive users of this interface have already created their own
cryptographic RNG interface which uses get_random_bytes() as a seed.
So it's much better to use the HW RNG to improve the existing random
number generator, by mixing in any entropy returned by the HW RNG into
/dev/random's entropy pool, but to always _use_ /dev/random's entropy
pool.
This way we get almost of the benefits of the HW RNG without any
potential liabilities. The only benefits we forgo is the
speed/performance enhancements --- and generic kernel code can't
depend on depend on get_random_bytes() having the speed of a HW RNG
anyway.
For those places that really want access to the arch-specific HW RNG,
if it is available, we provide get_random_bytes_arch().

If the CPU supports a hardware random number generator, use it in
xfer_secondary_pool(), where it will significantly improve things and
where we can afford it.
Also, remove the use of the arch-specific rng in
add_timer_randomness(), since the call is significantly slower than
get_cycles(), and we're much better off using it in
xfer_secondary_pool() anyway.

Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the
random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly
even per boot). This would be things like MAC addresses or serial
numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual
entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values
for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little
entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).

The real-time Linux folks don't like add_interrupt_randomness() taking
a spinlock since it is called in the low-level interrupt routine.
This also allows us to reduce the overhead in the fast path, for the
random driver, which is the interrupt collection path.
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
from a somewhat externally controllable source.
This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
pool. Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool. This
assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
possible.
(Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by
tytso.)

The acpi_pad driver can get stuck in destroy_power_saving_task()
waiting for kthread_stop() to stop a power_saving thread. The problem
is that the isolated_cpus_lock mutex is owned when
destroy_power_saving_task() calls kthread_stop(), which waits for a
power_saving thread to end, and the power_saving thread tries to
acquire the isolated_cpus_lock when it calls round_robin_cpu(). This
patch fixes the issue by making round_robin_cpu() use its own mutex.

Merge tag 'pm-for-3.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management fixes from Rafael J. Wysocki:
* Fix for a bug in async suspend error code path causing parents to
wait forever for their children in case of a suspend error from
Mandeep Singh Baines (-stable metarial).
* Fix for a suspend regression related to earlier changes in the ACPI
cpuidle driver from Deepthi Dharwar.
* tag 'pm-for-3.5-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
PM / ACPI: Fix suspend/resume regression caused by cpuidle cleanup.
PM / Sleep: Prevent waiting forever on asynchronous suspend after abort
In reviewing Kay's fix up patch: "printk: Have printk() never buffer its
data", I found two if statements that could be combined and optimized.
Put together the two 'cont.len && cont.owner == current' if statements
into a single one, and check if we need to call cont_add(). This also
removes the unneeded double cont_flush() calls.

Pull RCU fix from Ingo Molnar.
Fixes a bug introduced in this merge window by commit b1420f1c ("Make
rcu_barrier() less disruptive")

rcu: Stop rcu_do_batch() from multiplexing the "count" variable
Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the
chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially
racy continuation users from usual terminated line users.
This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to
the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel
crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed
information would never reach the consoles.
Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic,
and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available
consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the
readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount
of needed record headers to store.

The following added support for powernv but broke pseries/BML:
1f1616e powerpc/powernv: Add TCE SW invalidation support
TCE_PCI_SW_INVAL was split into FREE and CREATE flags but the tests in
the pseries code were not updated to reflect this.

Commit f948501b36 ("Make hard_irq_disable() actually hard-disable
interrupts") caused check_and_cede_processor to stop working.
->irq_happened will never be zero right after a hard_irq_disable
so the compiler removes the call to cede_processor completely.
The bug was introduced back in the lazy interrupt handling rework
of 3.4 but was hidden until recently because hard_irq_disable did
nothing.
This issue will eventually appear in 3.4 stable since the
hard_irq_disable fix is marked stable, so mark this one for stable
too.
