Subject: [PATCH 10/11] crypto: fips - Depend on CRYPTO_DRBG=y
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:15:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326001507.66500-11-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326001507.66500-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
Currently, the callers of crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() do 'select
CRYPTO_RNG_DEFAULT', which does 'select CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU'.
However, due to the change in how crypto_stdrng_get_bytes() is
implemented, CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU is now needed only when CRYPTO_FIPS.
But, 'select CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU if CRYPTO_FIPS' would cause a recursive
dependency, since CRYPTO_FIPS 'depends on CRYPTO_DRBG'.
Solve this by just making CRYPTO_FIPS depend on CRYPTO_DRBG=y (rather
than CRYPTO_DRBG i.e. CRYPTO_DRBG=y || CRYPTO_DRBG=m). The distros that
use CRYPTO_FIPS=y already set CRYPTO_DRBG=y anyway, which makes sense.
This makes the CRYPTO_RNG_DEFAULT symbol (and its corresponding
selection of CRYPTO_DRBG_MENU) unnecessary. A later commit removes it.

This option enables the fips boot option which is
required if you want the system to operate in a FIPS 200
certification. You should say no unless you know what
