Here is a rework of the generate_entropy function of the pseudo random
device driver exploiting the prno CPACF instruction.
George Spelvin pointed out some issues with the existing
implementation. One point was, that the buffer used to store the stckf
values is 2 pages which are initially filled with get_random_bytes()
for each 64 byte junk produced by the function. Another point was that
the stckf values only carry entropy in the LSB and thus a buffer of
2 pages is not really needed. Then there was a comment about the use
of the kimd cpacf function without proper initialization.
The rework addresses these points and now one page is used and only
one half of this is filled with get_random_bytes() on each chunk of 64
bytes requested data. The other half of the page is filled with stckf
values exored into with an overlap of 4 bytes. This can be done due to
the fact that only the lower 4 bytes carry entropy we need. For more
details about the algorithm used, see the header of the function.
The generate_entropy() function now uses the cpacf function klmd with
proper initialization of the parameter block to perform the sha512
hash.
George also pointed out some issues with the internal buffers used for
seeding and reads. These buffers are now zeroed with memzero_implicit
after use.
