From 628c6246d47b85f5357298601df2444d7f4dd3fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2011 13:59:29 -0700 Subject: x86, random: Architectural inlines to get random integers with RDRAND Architectural inlines to get random ints and longs using the RDRAND instruction. Intel has introduced a new RDRAND instruction, a Digital Random Number Generator (DRNG), which is functionally an high bandwidth entropy source, cryptographic whitener, and integrity monitor all built into hardware. This enables RDRAND to be used directly, bypassing the kernel random number pool. For technical documentation, see: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-bull-mountain-software-implementation-guide/ In this patch, this is *only* used for the nonblocking random number pool. RDRAND is a nonblocking source, similar to our /dev/urandom, and is therefore not a direct replacement for /dev/random. The architectural hooks presented in the previous patch only feed the kernel internal users, which only use the nonblocking pool, and so this is not a problem. Since this instruction is available in userspace, there is no reason to have a /dev/hw_rng device driver for the purpose of feeding rngd. This is especially so since RDRAND is a nonblocking source, and needs additional whitening and reduction (see the above technical documentation for details) in order to be of "pure entropy source" quality. The CONFIG_EXPERT compile-time option can be used to disable this use of RDRAND. Signed-off-by: H.

If it does not, disable the CPU feature flag. Allow RDRAND to be disabled on the command line (as opposed to at compile time) for a user who has special requirements with regards to random numbers.
