[PATCH v2] random: remove early archrandom abstraction

Jason A. Donenfeld
2022-10-30T21:29:31Z

The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction is not completely useful and
adds complexity, because it's not a given that there will be no calls to
arch_get_random*() between random_init_early(), which uses
arch_get_random*_early(), and init_cpu_features(). During that gap,
crng_reseed() might be called, which uses arch_get_random*(), since it's
mostly not init code.

Instead we can test whether we're in the early phase in
arch_get_random*() itself, and in doing so avoid all ambiguity about
where we are. Fortunately, the only architecture that currently
implements arch_get_random*_early() also has an alternatives-based cpu
feature system, one flag of which determines whether the other flags
have been initialized. This makes it possible to do the early check with
zero cost once the system is initialized.

Changes v1->v2:
- Also check early_boot_irqs_disabled, to make sure that the raw
capability check only runs during an early stage when we're only
running on the boot CPU and with IRQs off. This check disappears once
the system is up, because system_capabilities_finalized() is a static
branch.

Catalin - Though this touches arm64's archrandom.h, I intend to take
this through the random.git tree, if that's okay. I have other patches
that will build off of this one. -Jason
