[PATCH v3 00/11] rename random32 to prandom and introduce prandom_bytes()

[Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>]

This patchset introduces new functions into random32 library for
getting the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.

Before introducing these new functions into random32 library,
rename all random32 functions to have 'prandom_' prefix.  As a result
the function prototypes are as follows:

void prandom_seed(u32 seed);	/* rename from srandom32() */
u32 prandom_u32(void);		/* rename from random32() */
void prandom_bytes(void *buf, int nbytes);

void prandom_seed_state(struct rnd_state *state, u64 seed);
				/* rename from prandom32_seed() */
u32 prandom_u32_state(struct rnd_state *state);
				/* rename from prandom32() */
void prandom_bytes_state(struct rnd_state *state, void *buf, int nbytes);

The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers
from assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only
prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by
prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security
exposure.  This concern was expressed by Theodore Ts'o.

Changelog

* v3
- change common prefix from 'random32_' to 'prandom_'
- ensure prandom_bytes_state() generates same bytes with same rnd_state

* v2
- rename prandom32 to random32_state
- dropped lib/uuid.c patch
- add bnx2 and mtd_stresstest patches
