Break apart extract_entropy into kernel and user versions, remove last extract flag and some unnecessary variables. This makes the code more readable and amenable to sparse. Signed-off-by:

Put pointer to reseed pool in pool struct and automatically pull entropy from it if it is set. This lets us remove the EXTRACT_SECONDARY flag. Signed-off-by:

Additional parameter to allow keeping an entropy reserve in the input pool. Groundwork for proper /dev/urandom vs /dev/random starvation prevention. Signed-off-by:

Matt Mackall authored
When reseeding, we must always do a "catastrophic reseed" where we pull enough new bits to make the new state unguessable from outputs even if we knew the old state. So we must do the checks against the minimum reseed amount under the pool lock in extract_entropy. Signed-off-by:

As we no longer allow resizing of pools, it makes sense to allocate and initialize them statically. Remove create_entropy_store and simplify rand_initialize. Signed-off-by:

This thinko.. makes things a bit more arbitrary than we'd like. I've re-audited the other rotate conversions. Signed-off-by:

We've got three definitions of rotate_left. Remove x86 and duplicate rotate definitions. Remaining definition is fixed up such that recent gcc will generate rol instructions on x86 at least. A later patch will move this to bitops and clean up the other tree users. Signed-off-by:

Remove unused extract_timer_state struct. It was formerly used to feedback zero-entropy timing samples while extracting entropy, but that had a tendency to overwhelm the batch processing queue and prevent storing real samples. Signed-off-by:

Remove pool clearing. We've only ever cleared one of three pools and there's no good reason to do it. Instead just reset the entropy count. Signed-off-by:

Matt Mackall authored
This patch adds a generic array sorting library routine. This is meant to replace qsort, which has two problem areas for kernel use. The first issue is quadratic worst-case performance. While quicksort worst-case datasets are rarely encountered in normal scenarios, it is in fact quite easy to construct worst cases for almost all quicksort algorithms given source or access to an element comparison callback. This could allow attackers to cause sorts that would otherwise take less than a millisecond to take seconds and sorts that should take less than a second to take weeks or months. Fixing this problem requires randomizing pivot selection with a secure random number generator, which is rather expensive. The second is that quicksort's recursion tracking requires either nontrivial amounts of stack space or dynamic memory allocation and out of memory error handling. By comparison, heapsort has both O(n log n) average and worst-case performance and practically no extra storage requirements. This version runs within 70-90% of the average performance of optimized quicksort so it should be an acceptable replacement wherever quicksort would be used in the kernel. Note that this function has an extra parameter for passing in an optimized swapping function. This is worth 10% or more over the typical byte-by-byte exchange functions. Benchmarks: qsort: glibc variant 1189 bytes (+ 256/1024 stack) qsort_3f: my simplified variant 459 bytes (+ 256/1024 stack) heapsort: the version below 346 bytes shellsort: an optimized shellsort 196 bytes P4 1.8GHz Opteron 1.4GHz (32-bit) size algorithm cycles relative cycles relative 100: qsort: 38682 100.00% 27631 100.00% qsort_3f: 36277 106.63% 22406 123.32% heapsort: 43574 88.77% 30301 91.19% shellsort: 39087 98.97% 25139 109.91% 200: qsort: 86468 100.00% 61148 100.00% qsort_3f: 78918 109.57% 48959 124.90% heapsort: 98040 88.20% 68235 89.61% shellsort: 95688 90.36% 62279 98.18% 400: qsort: 187720 100.00% 131313 100.00% qsort_3f: 174905 107.33% 107954 121.64% heapsort: 223896 83.84% 154241 85.13% shellsort: 223037 84.17% 148990 88.14% 800: qsort: 407060 100.00% 287460 100.00% qsort_3f: 385106 105.70% 239131 120.21% heapsort: 484662 83.99% 340099 84.52% shellsort: 537110 75.79% 354755 81.03% 1600: qsort: 879596 100.00% 621331 100.00% qsort_3f: 861568 102.09% 522013 119.03% heapsort: 1079750 81.46% 746677 83.21% shellsort: 1234243 71.27% 820782 75.70% 3200: qsort: 1903902 100.00% 1342126 100.00% qsort_3f: 1908816 99.74% 1131496 118.62% heapsort: 2515493 75.69% 1630333 82.32% shellsort: 2985339 63.78% 1964794 68.31% 6400: qsort: 4046370 100.00% 2909215 100.00% qsort_3f: 4164468 97.16% 2468393 117.86% heapsort: 5150659 78.56% 3533585 82.33% shellsort: 6650225 60.85% 4429849 65.67% 12800: qsort: 8729730 100.00% 6185097 100.00% qsort_3f: 8776885 99.46% 5288826 116.95% heapsort: 11064224 78.90% 7603061 81.35% shellsort: 15487905 56.36% 10305163 60.02% 25600: qsort: 18357770 100.00% 13172205 100.00% qsort_3f: 18687842 98.23% 11337115 116.19% heapsort: 24121241 76.11% 16612122 79.29% shellsort: 35552814 51.64% 24106987 54.64% 51200: qsort: 38658883 100.00% 28008505 100.00% qsort_3f: 39498463 97.87% 24339675 115.07% heapsort: 50553552 76.47% 37013828 75.67% shellsort: 82602416 46.80% 56201889 49.84% 102400: qsort: 81197794 100.00% 58918933 100.00% qsort_3f: 84257930 96.37% 51986219 113.34% heapsort: 110540577 73.46% 81419675 72.36% shellsort: 191303132 42.44% 129786472 45.40% From: Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com> The new sort routine only works if there are an even number of entries in the ia64 exception fix-up tables. If the number of entries is odd the sort fails, and then random get_user/put_user calls can fail. Signed-off-by: -

This patch series introduced a new pair of CONFIG_EMBEDDED options call CONFIG_BASE_FULL/CONFIG_BASE_SMALL. Disabling CONFIG_BASE_FULL sets the boolean CONFIG_BASE_SMALL to 1 and it is used to shrink a number of core data structures. The space savings for the current batch is around 14k. This patch: Add CONFIG_BASE_SMALL for miscellaneous core size that don't warrant their own options. Example users to follow. Signed-off-by:
