timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.137 commit c6cf21d8d5209be883c835ebc883b5566483bfca category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I60PLB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=c6cf21d8d5209be883c835ebc883b5566483bfca -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit b8ac29b4 ] The rng's random_init() function contributes the real time to the rng at boot time, so that events can at least start in relation to something particular in the real world. But this clock might not yet be set that point in boot, so nothing is contributed. In addition, the relation between minor clock changes from, say, NTP, and the cycle counter is potentially useful entropic data. This commit addresses this by mixing in a time stamp on calls to settimeofday and adjtimex. No entropy is credited in doing so, so it doesn't make initialization faster, but it is still useful input to have.
