Hi Linus,

Pretty minor stuff here. Please pull.

g.

The following changes since commit d8dfad3876e4386666b759da3c833d62fb8b2267:

  Linux 3.11-rc7 (2013-08-25 17:43:22 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux tags/devicetree-for-linus

for you to fetch changes up to 2bc552df76d83cf1455ac8cf4c87615bfd15df74:

  of/platform: add error reporting to of_amba_device_create()
(2013-09-09 17:04:52 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Device tree core updates for v3.12

Generally minor changes. A bunch of bug fixes, particularly for
initialization and some refactoring. Most notable change if feeding the
entire flattened tree into the random pool at boot. May not be
significant, but shouldn't hurt either.

How much time does it add to boot to feed the device tree into the
random number pool.

Some of the device trees are expected to get pretty big.  If it's over
a millisecond,
IMHO, it should be configurable (but this is not).

It's detinitely not a very fast operation. "add_device_randomness()"
does four full "mix_pool_bytes()" operations, and those each iterate
over the input set one byte at a time.

It was kind of designed for things like mixing in ethernet MAC
addresses etc, so at the time that was written, the thinking was that
it would be just a few bytes, maybe tens of bytes.

I don't know how big flattened device trees can be, but I guess we're
talking a couple of kB?

So it might even be a better idea to feed the device tree to a hashing
function (eg SHA1 or even just MD5), and then just mix in the hash. At
least most block hash functions do things a word at a time. It does
*not* need to be cryptographically secure, so MD5 would be plenty good
enough - the only point of the hash would be to give a meaningful
number of result bits from the source array.

Of course, maybe even the stupid add_device_randomness() is fast
enough. I just wanted to point out that it definitely isn't some
optimized thing.

Well, I'm not sure how many bits of randomness this will add anyway.
The way we're using device tree, we get the same values every boot, on
all instances of the same phone model.  So this seems of little value.

Anton,

Are there presumably some random fields in device tree?  Is this being used
to pass randomness from the bootloader?  Or are you trying to mix in some
"randomness" about the hardware configuration?  I'm trying to understand the
rationale for this.

If I recall correctly, somebody said that things like ethernet MAC
addresses etc sometimes come from DT. Is my memory going, or is that
true but very rare?

It is true and fairly common. You can also have serial numbers in the
DT, but that is more rare. The bootloader will also add the kernel
command line, initrd start and end addresses.

Stuff which is common across a large number of devices is rather less
useful to merge in.  Is there some fixed way that things like serial
numbers and MAC addresses are tagged as such in the device tree?

Those are really the interesting bits to pass to
add_device_randomness().  What we want is stuff which is unique to the
device --- SP 800-90 (the NIST SPEC on Secure Random Number
Generators) refers to this as "personalization strings".

When I posted the patch that mixes in the whole SMBIOS table:

commit d114a33387472555188f142ed8e98acdb8181c6d
Author: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
Date:   Fri Jul 20 13:15:20 2012 -0700

    dmi: Feed DMI table to /dev/random driver

I asked whether there was any size issue - as it tends to be a few
kilobytes on laptops and desktops, and tens of kilobytes on servers.
The answer I got back then was not to worry - digesting a few kilobytes
wouldn't be a problem.  I just threw in a debug message to check and saw:

dmi_walk_early: added 10342 bytes in 339968 cycles

So a couple of hundred microseconds for me.

There are plenty of machine specific values buried in there (e.g. serial
numbers for all the DIMMs) ... so this looks like a good use of this
much boot time.

Thanks.  This gives me an order-of-magnitude measurement for this sort of thing.
I'll measure it directly myself on our hardware as soon as I can.

I've heard an ugly rumor that the device tree from our silicon vendor
may grow to be
as big as 130K in the near future. I'm still following up to see if
there's any truth
to this (so don't quote me on it), but if it does get that big it
might be an issue.  As
stated previously, the vast majority of our device tree files consists
of values that
are not device-specific.

I'll keep an eye on it and propose something if it turns out to be a real issue.

The biggest ones in mainline today compile to a ~30K binary. Not sure
a vendor expects to add in there to gain another 100KB.

Unfortunately not. There is no indication about which are the dynamic
properties.

I'll keep an eye on it too. If anyone reports a problem then I'll
revert the patch.
