Subject: [PATCH v2] random: prime last_data value per fips requirements
Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2012 10:35:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1352216153-25359-1-git-send-email-jarod@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121106152203.GA24076@redhat.com>
The value stored in last_data must be primed for FIPS 140-2 purposes. Upon
first use, either on system startup or after an RNDCLEARPOOL ioctl, we
need to take an initial random sample, store it internally in last_data,
then pass along the value after that to the requester, so that consistency
checks aren't being run against stale and possibly known data.
v2: streamline code flow a bit, eliminating extra loop and spinlock in the
case where we need to prime, and account for the extra primer bits.
