…rnel/git/wtarreau/prandom Pull random32 updates from Willy Tarreau: "Make prandom_u32() less predictable. This is the cleanup of the latest series of prandom_u32 experimentations consisting in using SipHash instead of Tausworthe to produce the randoms used by the network stack. The changes to the files were kept minimal, and the controversial commit that used to take noise from the fast_pool (f227e3e) was reverted. Instead, a dedicated "net_rand_noise" per_cpu variable is fed from various sources of activities (networking, scheduling) to perturb the SipHash state using fast, non-trivially predictable data, instead of keeping it fully deterministic. The goal is essentially to make any occasional memory leakage or brute-force attempt useless. The resulting code was verified to be very slightly faster on x86_64 than what is was with the controversial commit above, though this remains barely above measurement noise. It was also tested on i386 and arm, and build- tested only on arm64" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/ * tag '20201024-v4-5.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wtarreau/prandom: random32: add a selftest for the prandom32 code random32: add noise from network and scheduling activity random32: make prandom_u32() output unpredictable
