From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Richard Henderson Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] Improvements for random.h/archrandom.h Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2019 15:12:58 +0100 Message-ID: <20191106141308.30535-1-rth@twiddle.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: "linux-arm-kernel" Errors-To: linux-arm-kernel-bounces+linux-arm-kernel=m.gmane.org@lists.infradead.org To: linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org, linux-s390@vger.kernel.org, herbert@gondor.apana.org.au, x86@kernel.org, linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org, linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arch.vger.kernel.org During patch review for an addition of archrandom.h for arm64, it was suggeted that the arch_random_get_* functions should be marked __must_check. Which does sound like a good idea, since the by-reference integer output may be uninitialized when the boolean result is false. In addition, it turns out that arch_has_random() and arch_has_random_seed() are not used, and not easy to support for arm64. Rather than cobble something together that would not be testable, remove the interfaces against some future accidental use. In addition, I noticed a few other minor inconsistencies between the different architectures, e.g. powerpc isn't using bool.
