Subject: [PATCH v3 03/13] random: invalidate batched entropy after crng init
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 02:50:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170606005108.5646-4-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170606005108.5646-1-Jason@zx2c4.com>
It's possible that get_random_{u32,u64} is used before the crng has
initialized, in which case, its output might not be cryptographically
secure. For this problem, directly, this patch set is introducing the
*_wait variety of functions, but even with that, there's a subtle issue:
what happens to our batched entropy that was generated before
initialization. Prior to this commit, it'd stick around, supplying bad
numbers. After this commit, we force the entropy to be re-extracted
after each phase of the crng has initialized.
In order to avoid a race condition with the position counter, we
introduce a simple rwlock for this invalidation. Since it's only during
this awkward transition period, after things are all set up, we stop
using it, so that it doesn't have an impact on performance.
