Subject: [PATCH 11/11] crypto: rng - Don't pull in DRBG when CRYPTO_FIPS=n
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:15:07 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326001507.66500-12-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326001507.66500-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() is now always available:
- When CRYPTO_FIPS=n it is an inline function that always calls into
the always-built-in drivers/char/random.c.
- When CRYPTO_FIPS=y it is an inline function that calls into either
random.c or crypto/rng.c, depending on the value of fips_enabled.
The former is again always built-in. The latter is built-in as
well in this case, due to CRYPTO_FIPS=y.
Thus, the CRYPTO_RNG_DEFAULT symbol is no longer needed. Remove it.
This makes it so that CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU (and hence also CRYPTO_DRBG,
CRYPTO_JITTERENTROPY, and CRYPTO_LIB_SHA3) no longer gets unnecessarily
pulled into CRYPTO_FIPS=n kernels. I.e. CRYPTO_FIPS=n kernels are no
longer bloated with code that is relevant only to FIPS certifications.
