Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"Though there's been a decent amount of RNG-related development during
this last cycle, not all of it is coming through this tree, as this
cycle saw a shift toward tackling early boot time seeding issues,
which took place in other trees as well.
Here's a summary of the various patches:
- The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot
option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely
supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and
"random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch
code.
- x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with
RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would
be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git
to avoid a large merge conflict.
- The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on
the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so
starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still
produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set
early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when
the time is actually set.
- User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to
generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as
the platform's RDRAND-like faculty.
- The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now
arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms,
such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from
requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same
time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like
x86.
- A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from
Uros.
- A comment spelling fix"

The archrandom interface was originally designed for x86, which supplies
RDRAND/RDSEED for receiving random words into registers, resulting in
one function to generate an int and another to generate a long. However,
other architectures don't follow this.
On arm64, the SMCCC TRNG interface can return between one and three
longs. On s390, the CPACF TRNG interface can return arbitrary amounts,
with four longs having the same cost as one. On UML, the os_getrandom()
interface can return arbitrary amounts.
So change the api signature to take a "max_longs" parameter designating
the maximum number of longs requested, and then return the number of
longs generated.
Since callers need to check this return value and loop anyway, each arch
implementation does not bother implementing its own loop to try again to
fill the maximum number of longs. Additionally, all existing callers
pass in a constant max_longs parameter. Taken together, these two things
mean that the codegen doesn't really change much for one-word-at-a-time
platforms, while performance is greatly improved on platforms such as
s390.

This patch slightly reworks the s390 arch_get_random_seed_{int,long}
implementation: Make sure the CPACF trng instruction is never
called in any interrupt context. This is done by adding an
additional condition in_task().
Justification:
There are some constrains to satisfy for the invocation of the
arch_get_random_seed_{int,long}() functions:
- They should provide good random data during kernel initialization.
- They should not be called in interrupt context as the TRNG
instruction is relatively heavy weight and may for example
make some network loads cause to timeout and buck.
However, it was not clear what kind of interrupt context is exactly
encountered during kernel init or network traffic eventually calling
arch_get_random_seed_long().
After some days of investigations it is clear that the s390
start_kernel function is not running in any interrupt context and
so the trng is called:

Jul 11 18:33:39 t35lp54 kernel: [<000000010590402a>] startup_continue+0x2a/0x40
The condition in_task() is true and the CPACF trng provides random data
during kernel startup.
The network traffic however, is more difficult. A typical call stack

Jul 06 17:37:07 t35lp54 kernel: [<000000008b935b9e>] restart_int_handler+0x6e/0x90
which confirms that the call is in softirq context. So in_task() covers exactly
the cases where we want to have CPACF trng called: not in nmi, not in hard irq,
not in soft irq but in normal task context and during kernel init.

When RDRAND was introduced, there was much discussion on whether it
should be trusted and how the kernel should handle that. Initially, two
mechanisms cropped up, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM, a compile time switch, and
"nordrand", a boot-time switch.
Later the thinking evolved. With a properly designed RNG, using RDRAND
values alone won't harm anything, even if the outputs are malicious.
Rather, the issue is whether those values are being *trusted* to be good
or not. And so a new set of options were introduced as the real
ones that people use -- CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu".
With these options, RDRAND is used, but it's not always credited. So in
the worst case, it does nothing, and in the best case, maybe it helps.
Along the way, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM's meaning got sort of pulled into the
center and became something certain platforms force-select.
The old options don't really help with much, and it's a bit odd to have
special handling for these instructions when the kernel can deal fine
with the existence or untrusted existence or broken existence or
non-existence of that CPU capability.
Simplify the situation by removing CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM and using the
ordinary asm-generic fallback pattern instead, keeping the two options
that are actually used. For now it leaves "nordrand" for now, as the
removal of that will take a different route.

s390x appears to present two RNG interfaces:
- a "TRNG" that gathers entropy using some hardware function; and
- a "DRBG" that takes in a seed and expands it.
Previously, the TRNG was wired up to arch_get_random_{long,int}(), but
it was observed that this was being called really frequently, resulting
in high overhead. So it was changed to be wired up to arch_get_random_
seed_{long,int}(), which was a reasonable decision. Later on, the DRBG
was then wired up to arch_get_random_{long,int}(), with a complicated
buffer filling thread, to control overhead and rate.
Fortunately, none of the performance issues matter much now. The RNG
always attempts to use arch_get_random_seed_{long,int}() first, which
means a complicated implementation of arch_get_random_{long,int}() isn't
really valuable or useful to have around. And it's only used when
reseeding, which means it won't hit the high throughput complications
that were faced before.
So this commit returns to an earlier design of just calling the TRNG in
arch_get_random_seed_{long,int}(), and returning false in arch_get_
random_{long,int}().
Part of what makes the simplification possible is that the RNG now seeds
itself using the TRNG at bootup. But this only works if the TRNG is
detected early in boot, before random_init() is called. So this commit
also causes that check to happen in setup_arch().

The random longs to be pulled by arch_get_random_long() are
prepared in an 4K buffer which is filled from the NIST 800-90
compliant s390 drbg. By default the random long buffer is refilled
256 times before the drbg itself needs a reseed. The reseed of the
drbg is done with 32 bytes fetched from the high quality (but slow)
trng which is assumed to deliver 100% entropy. So the 32 * 8 = 256
bits of entropy are spread over 256 * 4KB = 1MB serving 131072
arch_get_random_long() invocations before reseeded.
How often the 4K random long buffer is refilled with the drbg
before the drbg is reseeded can be adjusted. There is a module
parameter 's390_arch_rnd_long_drbg_reseed' accessible via
/sys/module/arch_random/parameters/rndlong_drbg_reseed
or as kernel command line parameter
arch_random.rndlong_drbg_reseed=<value>
This parameter tells how often the drbg fills the 4K buffer before
it is re-seeded by fresh entropy from the trng.
A value of 16 results in reseeding the drbg at every 16 * 4 KB = 64
KB with 32 bytes of fresh entropy pulled from the trng. So a value
of 16 would result in 256 bits entropy per 64 KB.
A value of 256 results in 1MB of drbg output before a reseed of the
drbg is done. So this would spread the 256 bits of entropy among 1MB.
Setting this parameter to 0 forces the reseed to take place every
time the 4K buffer is depleted, so the entropy rises to 256 bits
entropy per 4K or 0.5 bit entropy per arch_get_random_long(). With
setting this parameter to negative values all this effort is
disabled, arch_get_random long() returns false and thus indicating
that the arch_get_random_long() feature is disabled at all.
arch_get_random_long() is used by random.c among others to provide
an initial hash value to be mixed with the entropy pool on every
random data pull. For about 64 bytes read from /dev/urandom there
is one call to arch_get_random_long(). So these additional random
long values count for performance of /dev/urandom with measurable
but low penalty.

The arch_get_random_seed_long() invocation done by the random device
driver is done in interrupt context and may be invoked very very
frequently. The existing s390 arch_get_random_seed*() implementation
uses the PRNO(TRNG) instruction which produces excellent high quality
entropy but is relatively slow and thus expensive.
This fix reworks the arch_get_random_seed* implementation. It
introduces a buffer concept to decouple the delivery of random data
via arch_get_random_seed*() from the generation of new random
bytes. The buffer of random data is filled asynchronously by a
workqueue thread.
If there are enough bytes in the buffer the s390_arch_random_generate()
just delivers these bytes. Otherwise false is returned until the worker
thread refills the buffer.
The worker fills the rng buffer by pulling fresh entropy from the
high quality (but slow) true hardware random generator. This entropy
is then spread over the buffer with an pseudo random generator.
As the arch_get_random_seed_long() fetches 8 bytes and the calling
function add_interrupt_randomness() counts this as 1 bit entropy the
distribution needs to make sure there is in fact 1 bit entropy
contained in 8 bytes of the buffer. The current values pull 32 byte
entropy and scatter this into a 2048 byte buffer. So 8 byte in the
buffer will contain 1 bit of entropy.
The worker thread is rescheduled based on the charge level of the
buffer but at least with 500 ms delay to avoid too much cpu consumption.
So the max. amount of rng data delivered via arch_get_random_seed is
limited to 4Kb per second.

The reworked version of the random device driver now calls
the arch_get_random_* functions on a very high frequency.
It does about 100.000 calls to arch_get_random_long for
providing 10 MB via /dev/urandom. Each invocation was
fetching entropy from the hardware random generator which
has a rate limit of about 4 MB/s. As the trng invocation
waits until enough entropy is gathered, the random device
driver is slowed down dramatically.
The s390 true random generator is not designed for such
a high rate. The TRNG is more designed to be used together
with the arch_get_random_seed_* functions. This is similar
to the way how powerpc has implemented their arch random
functionality.
This patch removes the invocations of the s390 TRNG for
arch_get_random_long() and arch_get_random_int() but leaving
the invocations for arch_get_random_seed_long() and
arch_get_random_seed_int(). So the s390 arch random
implementation now contributes high quality entropy to
the kernel random device for reseeding.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This patch introduces s390 specific arch random functionality.
There exists a generic kernel API for arch specific random
number implementation (see include/linux/random.h). Here
comes the header file and a very small static code part
implementing the arch_random_* API based on the TRNG
subfunction coming with the reworked PRNG instruction.
The arch random implementation hooks into the kernel
initialization and checks for availability of the TRNG
function. In accordance to the arch random API all functions
return false if the TRNG is not available. Otherwise the new
high quality entropy source provides fresh random on each
invocation.
The s390 arch random feature build is controlled via
CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM. This config option located in
arch/s390/Kconfig is enabled by default and appears
as entry "s390 architectural random number generation API"
in the submenu "Processor type and features" for s390 builds.
