random: do not xor RDRAND when writing into /dev/random
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.119 commit 7a5b9ca583f9f00ab0f0c713379de40a66dc353a category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=7a5b9ca583f9f00ab0f0c713379de40a66dc353a -------------------------------- commit 91c2afca upstream. Continuing the reasoning of "random: ensure early RDSEED goes through mixer on init", we don't want RDRAND interacting with anything without going through the mixer function, as a backdoored CPU could presumably cancel out data during an xor, which it'd have a harder time doing when being forced through a cryptographic hash function. There's actually no need at all to be calling RDRAND in write_pool(), because before we extract from the pool, we always do so with 32 bytes of RDSEED hashed in at that stage. Xoring at this stage is needless and introduces a minor liability.
