To date, all callers of randomize_range() have set the length to 0, and check for a zero return value. For the current callers, the only way to get zero returned is if end <= start. Since they are all adding a constant to the start address, this is unnecessary. We can remove a bunch of needless checks by simplifying the API to do just what everyone wants, return an address between [start, start + range). While we're here, s/get_random_int/get_random_long/. No current call site is adversely affected by get_random_int(), since all current range requests are < UINT_MAX. However, we should match caller expectations to avoid coming up short (ha!) in the future. All current callers to randomize_range() chose to use the start address if randomize_range() failed. Therefore, we simplify things by just returning the start address on error. randomize_range() will be removed once all callers have been converted over to randomize_addr().

On a system with sparse node ids, eg. a powerpc system with 4 nodes numbered like so: node 0: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000007ffffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000800000000-0x0000000fffffffff] node 16: [mem 0x0000001000000000-0x00000017ffffffff] node 17: [mem 0x0000001800000000-0x0000001fffffffff] The code in rand_initialize() will allocate 4 pointers for the pool array, and initialise them correctly. However when go to use the pool, in eg. extract_crng(), we use the numa_node_id() to index into the array. For the higher numbered node ids this leads to random memory corruption, depending on what was kmalloc'ed adjacent to the pool array. Fix it by using nr_node_ids to size the pool array.

Commit d07e2259 ("mm: mmap: add new /proc tunable for mmap_base ASLR") added the ability to choose from a range of values to use for entropy count in generating the random offset to the mmap_base address. The maximum value on this range was set to 32 bits for 64-bit x86 systems, but this value could be increased further, requiring more than the 32 bits of randomness provided by get_random_int(), as is already possible for arm64. Add a new function: get_random_long() which more naturally fits with the mmap usage of get_random_int() but operates exactly the same as get_random_int(). Also, fix the shifting constant in mmap_rnd() to be an unsigned long so that values greater than 31 bits generate an appropriate mask without overflow. This is especially important on x86, as its shift instruction uses a 5-bit mask for the shift operand, which meant that any value for mmap_rnd_bits over 31 acts as a no-op and effectively disables mmap_base randomization. Finally, replace calls to get_random_int() with get_random_long() where appropriate. This patch (of 2): Add get_random_long().

The get_blocking_random_bytes API is broken because the wait can be arbitrarily long (potentially forever) so there is no safe way of calling it from within the kernel. This patch replaces it with a callback API instead. The callback is invoked potentially from interrupt context so the user needs to schedule their own work thread if necessary. In addition to adding callbacks, they can also be removed as otherwise this opens up a way for user-space to allocate kernel memory with no bound (by opening algif_rng descriptors and then closing them).

There was a bad typo in commit 43759d4f ("random: use an improved fast_mix() function") and I didn't notice because it "looked right", so I saw what I expected to see when I reviewed it. Only months later did I look and notice it's not the Threefish-inspired mix function that I had designed and optimized. Mea Culpa. Each input bit still has a chance to affect each output bit, and the fast pool is spilled *long* before it fills, so it's not a total disaster, but it's definitely not the intended great improvement. I'm still working on finding better rotation constants. These are good enough, but since it's unrolled twice, it's possible to get better mixing for free by using eight different constants rather than repeating the same four.

For people who don't trust a hardware RNG which can not be audited, the changes to add support for RDSEED can be troubling since 97% or more of the entropy will be contributed from the in-CPU hardware RNG. We now have a in-kernel khwrngd, so for those people who do want to implicitly trust the CPU-based system, we could create an arch-rng hw_random driver, and allow khwrng refill the entropy pool. This allows system administrator whether or not they trust the CPU (I assume the NSA will trust RDRAND/RDSEED implicitly :-), and if so, what level of entropy derating they want to use. The reason why this is a really good idea is that if different people use different levels of entropy derating, it will make it much more difficult to design a backdoor'ed hwrng that can be generally exploited in terms of the output of /dev/random when different attack targets are using differing levels of entropy derating.

由 Theodore Ts'o 提交于
The getrandom(2) system call was requested by the LibreSSL Portable developers. It is analoguous to the getentropy(2) system call in OpenBSD. The rationale of this system call is to provide resiliance against file descriptor exhaustion attacks, where the attacker consumes all available file descriptors, forcing the use of the fallback code where /dev/[u]random is not available. Since the fallback code is often not well-tested, it is better to eliminate this potential failure mode entirely. The other feature provided by this new system call is the ability to request randomness from the /dev/urandom entropy pool, but to block until at least 128 bits of entropy has been accumulated in the /dev/urandom entropy pool. Historically, the emphasis in the /dev/urandom development has been to ensure that urandom pool is initialized as quickly as possible after system boot, and preferably before the init scripts start execution. This is because changing /dev/urandom reads to block represents an interface change that could potentially break userspace which is not acceptable. In practice, on most x86 desktop and server systems, in general the entropy pool can be initialized before it is needed (and in modern kernels, we will printk a warning message if not). However, on an embedded system, this may not be the case. And so with this new interface, we can provide the functionality of blocking until the urandom pool has been initialized. Any userspace program which uses this new functionality must take care to assure that if it is used during the boot process, that it will not cause the init scripts or other portions of the system startup to hang indefinitely. SYNOPSIS #include <linux/random.h> int getrandom(void *buf, size_t buflen, unsigned int flags); DESCRIPTION The system call getrandom() fills the buffer pointed to by buf with up to buflen random bytes which can be used to seed user space random number generators (i.e., DRBG's) or for other cryptographic uses. It should not be used for Monte Carlo simulations or other programs/algorithms which are doing probabilistic sampling. If the GRND_RANDOM flags bit is set, then draw from the /dev/random pool instead of the /dev/urandom pool. The /dev/random pool is limited based on the entropy that can be obtained from environmental noise, so if there is insufficient entropy, the requested number of bytes may not be returned. If there is no entropy available at all, getrandom(2) will either block, or return an error with errno set to EAGAIN if the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags. If the GRND_RANDOM bit is not set, then the /dev/urandom pool will be used. Unlike using read(2) to fetch data from /dev/urandom, if the urandom pool has not been sufficiently initialized, getrandom(2) will block (or return -1 with the errno set to EAGAIN if the GRND_NONBLOCK bit is set in flags). The getentropy(2) system call in OpenBSD can be emulated using the following function: int getentropy(void *buf, size_t buflen) { int ret; if (buflen > 256) goto failure; ret = getrandom(buf, buflen, 0); if (ret < 0) return ret; if (ret == buflen) return 0; failure: errno = EIO; return -1; } RETURN VALUE On success, the number of bytes that was filled in the buf is returned. This may not be all the bytes requested by the caller via buflen if insufficient entropy was present in the /dev/random pool, or if the system call was interrupted by a signal. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. ERRORS EINVAL An invalid flag was passed to getrandom(2) EFAULT buf is outside the accessible address space. EAGAIN The requested entropy was not available, and getentropy(2) would have blocked if the GRND_NONBLOCK flag was not set. EINTR While blocked waiting for entropy, the call was interrupted by a signal handler; see the description of how interrupted read(2) calls on "slow" devices are handled with and without the SA_RESTART flag in the signal(7) man page. NOTES For small requests (buflen <= 256) getrandom(2) will not return EINTR when reading from the urandom pool once the entropy pool has been initialized, and it will return all of the bytes that have been requested. This is the recommended way to use getrandom(2), and is designed for compatibility with OpenBSD's getentropy() system call. However, if you are using GRND_RANDOM, then getrandom(2) may block until the entropy accounting determines that sufficient environmental noise has been gathered such that getrandom(2) will be operating as a NRBG instead of a DRBG for those people who are working in the NIST SP 800-90 regime. Since it may block for a long time, these guarantees do *not* apply. The user may want to interrupt a hanging process using a signal, so blocking until all of the requested bytes are returned would be unfriendly. For this reason, the user of getrandom(2) MUST always check the return value, in case it returns some error, or if fewer bytes than requested was returned. In the case of !GRND_RANDOM and small request, the latter should never happen, but the careful userspace code (and all crypto code should be careful) should check for this anyway! Finally, unless you are doing long-term key generation (and perhaps not even then), you probably shouldn't be using GRND_RANDOM. The cryptographic algorithms used for /dev/urandom are quite conservative, and so should be sufficient for all purposes. The disadvantage of GRND_RANDOM is that it can block, and the increased complexity required to deal with partially fulfilled getrandom(2) requests.

For CPU's that don't have a cycle counter, or something equivalent which can be used for random_get_entropy(), random_get_entropy() will always return 0. In that case, substitute with the saved interrupt registers to add a bit more unpredictability. Some folks have suggested hashing all of the registers unconditionally, but this would increase the overhead of add_interrupt_randomness() by at least an order of magnitude, and this would very likely be unacceptable. The changes in this commit have been benchmarked as mostly unaffecting the overhead of add_interrupt_randomness() if the entropy counter is present, and doubling the overhead if it is not present.

Commit 0fb7a01a "random: simplify accounting code", introduced in v3.15, has a very nasty accounting problem when the entropy pool has has fewer bytes of entropy than the number of requested reserved bytes. In that case, "have_bytes - reserved" goes negative, and since size_t is unsigned, the expression: ibytes = min_t(size_t, ibytes, have_bytes - reserved); ... does not do the right thing. This is rather bad, because it defeats the catastrophic reseeding feature in the xfer_secondary_pool() path. It also can cause the "BUG: spinlock trylock failure on UP" for some kernel configurations when prandom_reseed() calls get_random_bytes() in the early init, since when the entropy count gets corrupted, credit_entropy_bits() erroneously believes that the nonblocking pool has been fully initialized (when in fact it is not), and so it calls prandom_reseed(true) recursively leading to the spinlock BUG. The logic is *not* the same it was originally, but in the cases where it matters, the behavior is the same, and the resulting code is hopefully easier to read and understand.

Commit ee1de406 ("random: simplify accounting logic") simplified things too much, in that it allows the following to trigger an overflow that results in a BUG_ON crash: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/zero bs=67108707 count=1 Thanks to Peter Zihlstra for discovering the crash, and Hannes Frederic for analyizing the root cause.

This will be needed for pending changes to the scsi midlayer that now calls lower level block APIs, as well as any blk-mq driver that wants to contribute to the random pool.

Add predicate functions for having arch_get_random[_seed]*(). The only current use is to avoid the loop in arch_random_refill() when arch_get_random_seed_long() is unavailable. Signed-off-by: NH.

If we have arch_get_random_seed*(), try to use it for emergency refill of the entropy pool before giving up and blocking on /dev/random. It may or may not work in the moment, but if it does work, it will give the user better service than blocking will. Reviewed-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NH.

Use arch_get_random_seed*() in two places in the Linux random driver (drivers/char/random.c): 1. During entropy pool initialization, use RDSEED in favor of RDRAND, with a fallback to the latter. Entropy exhaustion is unlikely to happen there on physical hardware as the machine is single-threaded at that point, but could happen in a virtual machine. In that case, the fallback to RDRAND will still provide more than adequate entropy pool initialization. 2. Once a second, issue RDSEED and, if successful, feed it to the entropy pool. To ensure an extra layer of security, only credit half the entropy just in case.

To help assuage the fears of those who think the NSA can introduce a massive hack into the instruction decode and out of order execution engine in the CPU without hundreds of Intel engineers knowing about it (only one of which woud need to have the conscience and courage of Edward Snowden to spill the beans to the public), use the HWRNG to initialize the SHA starting value, instead of xor'ing it in afterwards.
