Merge branch 'random-5.17-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld: "These a bit more numerous than usual for the RNG, due to folks resubmitting patches that had been pending prior and generally renewed interest. There are a few categories of patches in here: 1) Dominik Brodowski and I traded a series back and forth for a some weeks that fixed numerous issues related to seeds being provided at extremely early boot by the firmware, before other parts of the kernel or of the RNG have been initialized, both fixing some crashes and addressing correctness around early boot randomness. One of these is marked for stable. 2) I replaced the RNG's usage of SHA-1 with BLAKE2s in the entropy extractor, and made the construction a bit safer and more standard. This was sort of a long overdue low hanging fruit, as we were supposed to have phased out SHA-1 usage quite some time ago (even if all we needed here was non-invertibility). Along the way it also made extraction 131% faster. This required a bit of Kconfig and symbol plumbing to make things work well with the crypto libraries, which is one of the reasons why I'm sending you this pull early in the cycle. 3) I got rid of a truly superfluous call to RDRAND in the hot path, which resulted in a whopping 370% increase in performance. 4) Sebastian Andrzej Siewior sent some patches regarding PREEMPT_RT, the full series of which wasn't ready yet, but the first two preparatory cleanups were good on their own. One of them touches files in kernel/irq/, which is the other reason why I'm sending you this pull early in the cycle. 5) Other assorted correctness fixes from Eric Biggers, Jann Horn, Mark Brown, Dominik Brodowski, and myself" * 'random-5.17-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: random: don't reset crng_init_cnt on urandom_read() random: avoid superfluous call to RDRAND in CRNG extraction random: early initialization of ChaCha constants random: use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NUMA) instead of ifdefs random: harmonize "crng init done" messages random: mix bootloader randomness into pool random: do not throw away excess input to crng_fast_load random: do not re-init if crng_reseed completes before primary init random: fix crash on multiple early calls to add_bootloader_randomness() random: do not sign extend bytes for rotation when mixing random: use BLAKE2s instead of SHA1 in extraction lib/crypto: blake2s: include as built-in random: fix data race on crng init time random: fix data race on crng_node_pool irq: remove unused flags argument from __handle_irq_event_percpu() random: remove unused irq_flags argument from add_interrupt_randomness() random: document add_hwgenerator_randomness() with other input functions MAINTAINERS: add git tree for random.c
