[PATCH] crypto: add optional continuous repetition test to entropy store based rngs

[PATCH] crypto: add optional continuous repetition test to entropy store based rngs

[Neil Horman]

FIPS-140 requires that all random number generators implement continuous self
tests in which each extracted block of data is compared against the last block
for repetition.  The ansi_cprng implements such a test, but it would be nice if
the hw rng's did the same thing.  Obviously its not something thats always
needed, but it seems like it would be a nice feature to have on occasion.  I've
written the below patch which allows individual entropy stores to be flagged as
desiring a continuous test to be run on them as is extracted.  By default this
option is off, but is enabled in the event that fips mode is selected during
bootup.

I think we'd rather not make random.c incestuous with crypto/.

No need to null-initialize these things.

This should go in extract_buf. I think we can avoid adding flags to the
pool struct by simply checking that last_data is not null.

Not sure what to do about this.  The intent is to provide the external reference
to the fips_enabled flag (which is either defined as an extern in or #defined to
0 dependent on CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS).  I can cut'n'paste the code block from the
include file and put it in here, but that seems like a worse solution to me.
Let me know your thoughts, and I can change this accordingly.

As for the other comments, they all seem good to me, let me know what you want
to do about the above, and I'll respin/repost the patch for you

Thanks!
Neil

You can put the fips flag into its own header file, e.g., linux/fips.h.

Ok, that seems like a reasonable idea.  new patch below
Change Notes:

1) Moved fips_enabled flag into its own header, included in all the appropriate
places

2) removed flags field from entropy store, keying continuous test on the
non-null status of the last_data pointer


FIPS-140 requires that all random number generators implement continuous self
tests in which each extracted block of data is compared against the last block
for repetition.  The ansi_cprng implements such a test, but it would be nice if
the hw rng's did the same thing.  Obviously its not something thats always
needed, but it seems like it would be a nice feature to have on occasion. I've
written the below patch which allows individual entropy stores to be flagged as
desiring a continuous test to be run on them as is extracted.  By default this
option is off, but is enabled in the event that fips mode is selected during
bootup.

Ping, I don't see that this got picked up in the crypto tree.  Are there

You can pick it up. Speaking of, do you care if I route other RNG bits

Sure no problems.  Just cc me or linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org when
you ack it and I can pick them up.
