Merge tag 'random-5.19-rc2-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random
Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:
- A fix for a 5.19 regression for a case in which early device tree
initializes the RNG, which flips a static branch.
On most plaforms, jump labels aren't initialized until much later, so
this caused splats. On a few mailing list threads, we cooked up easy
fixes for arm64, arm32, and risc-v. But then things looked slightly
more involved for xtensa, powerpc, arc, and mips. And at that point,
when we're patching 7 architectures in a place before the console is
even available, it seems like the cost/risk just wasn't worth it.
So random.c works around it now by checking the already exported
`static_key_initialized` boolean, as though somebody already ran into
this issue in the past. I'm not super jazzed about that; it'd be
prettier to not have to complicate downstream code. But I suppose
it's practical.
- A few small code nits and adding a missing __init annotation.
- A change to the default config values to use the cpu and bootloader's
seeds for initializing the RNG earlier.
This brings them into line with what all the distros do (Fedora/RHEL,
Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine, SUSE, and Void... at
least), and moreover will now give us test coverage in various test
beds that might have caught the above device tree bug earlier.
- A change to WireGuard CI's configuration to increase test coverage
around the RNG.
- A documentation comment fix to unrelated maintainerless CRC code that
I was asked to take, I guess because it has to do with polynomials
(which the RNG thankfully no longer uses).
* tag 'random-5.19-rc2-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
wireguard: selftests: use maximum cpu features and allow rng seeding
random: remove rng_has_arch_random()
random: credit cpu and bootloader seeds by default
random: do not use jump labels before they are initialized
random: account for arch randomness in bits
random: mark bootloader randomness code as __init
random: avoid checking crng_ready() twice in random_init()
crc-itu-t: fix typo in CRC ITU-T polynomial comment
