<title>hwrng: core - Fix wrong quality calculation at hw rng registration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:95c0f5c3b8bb7acdc5c4f04bc6a7d3f40d319e9e</id>
<content type='text'>
When there are rng sources registering at the hwrng core via
hwrng_register() a struct hwrng is delivered. There is a quality
field in there which is used to decide which of the registered
hw rng sources will be used by the hwrng core.

With commit 16bdbae39428 ("hwrng: core - treat default_quality as
a maximum and default to 1024") there came in a new default of
1024 in case this field is empty and all the known hw rng sources
at that time had been reworked to not fill this field and thus
use the default of 1024.

The code choosing the 'better' hw rng source during registration
of a new hw rng source has never been adapted to this and thus
used 0 if the hw rng implementation does not fill the quality field.
So when two rng sources register, one with 0 (meaning 1024) and
the other one with 999, the 999 hw rng will be chosen.

As the later invoked function hwrng_init() anyway adjusts the
quality field of the hw rng source, this adjustment is now done
during registration of this new hw rng source.

Tested on s390 with two hardware rng sources: crypto cards and
trng true random generator device driver.

<content type='text'>
A potential deadlock was reported with the config file at

https://web.archive.org/web/20240522052129/https://0x0.st/XPN_.txt

In this particular configuration, the deadlock doesn't exist because
the warning triggered at a point before modules were even available.
However, the deadlock can be real because any module loaded would
invoke async_synchronize_full.

The issue is spurious for software crypto algorithms which aren't
themselves involved in async probing.  However, it would be hard to
avoid for a PCI crypto driver using async probing.

In this particular call trace, the problem is easily avoided because
the only reason the module is being requested during probing is the
add_early_randomness call in the hwrng core.  This feature is
vestigial since there is now a kernel thread dedicated to doing
exactly this.

So remove add_early_randomness as it is no longer needed.

<content type='text'>
Per filesystems/sysfs.rst, show() should only use sysfs_emit()
or sysfs_emit_at() when formatting the value to be returned to user space.

coccinelle complains that there are still a couple of functions that use
snprintf(). Convert them to sysfs_emit().

sprintf() will be converted as weel if they have.

Generally, this patch is generated by
make coccicheck M=&lt;path/to/file&gt; MODE=patch \

No functional change intended

There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path.  This triggers
when the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from
/dev/hwrng.  The resulting page fault triggers a recursive read
which then dead-locks.

Fix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user.

<content type='text'>
The last RCU stall fix caused a massive throughput regression of the
hwrng on Raspberry Pi 0 - 3. hwrng_msleep doesn't sleep precisely enough
and usleep_range doesn't allow scheduling. So try to restore the
best possible throughput by introducing hwrng_yield which interruptable
sleeps for one jiffy.

Some performance measurements on Raspberry Pi 3B+ (arm64/defconfig):

sudo dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null count=1 bs=10000

cpu_relax              ~138025 Bytes / sec
hwrng_msleep(1000)         ~13 Bytes / sec
hwrng_yield              ~2510 Bytes / sec

Fixes: 96cb9d055445 ("hwrng: bcm2835 - use hwrng_msleep() instead of cpu_relax()")

<title>hwrng: core - treat default_quality as a maximum and default to 1024</title>

<id>urn:sha1:16bdbae394280f1d97933d919023eccbf0b564bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Most hw_random devices return entropy which is assumed to be of full
quality, but driver authors don't bother setting the quality knob. Some
hw_random devices return less than full quality entropy, and then driver
authors set the quality knob. Therefore, the entropy crediting should be
opt-out rather than opt-in per-driver, to reflect the actual reality on
the ground.

For example, the two Raspberry Pi RNG drivers produce full entropy
randomness, and both EDK2 and U-Boot's drivers for these treat them as
such. The result is that EFI then uses these numbers and passes the to
Linux, and Linux credits them as boot, thereby initializing the RNG.
Yet, in Linux, the quality knob was never set to anything, and so on the
chance that Linux is booted without EFI, nothing is ever credited.
That's annoying.

The same pattern appears to repeat itself throughout various drivers. In
fact, very very few drivers have bothered setting quality=1024.

Looking at the git history of existing drivers and corresponding mailing
list discussion, this conclusion tracks. There's been a decent amount of
discussion about drivers that set quality &lt; 1024 -- somebody read and
interepreted a datasheet, or made some back of the envelope calculation
somehow. But there's been very little, if any, discussion about most
drivers where the quality is just set to 1024 or unset (or set to 1000
when the authors misunderstood the API and assumed it was base-10 rather
than base-2); in both cases the intent was fairly clear of, "this is a
hardware random device; it's fine."

So let's invert this logic. A hw_random struct's quality knob now
controls the maximum quality a driver can produce, or 0 to specify 1024.
Then, the module-wide switch called "default_quality" is changed to
represent the maximum quality of any driver. By default it's 1024, and
the quality of any particular driver is then given by:

    min(default_quality, rng-&gt;quality ?: 1024);

This way, the user can still turn this off for weird reasons (and we can
replace whatever driver-specific disabling hacks existed in the past),
yet we get proper crediting for relevant RNGs.
