random: Adjust the number of loops when initializing
random: Use arch-specific RNG to initialize the entropy store -
When we are initializing using arch_get_random_long() we only need to
loop enough times to touch all the bytes in the buffer; using
poolwords for that does twice the number of operations necessary on a
64-bit machine, since in the random number generator code "word" means
32 bits.Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

If there is an architecture-specific random number generator (such as
RDRAND for Intel architectures), use it to initialize /dev/random's
entropy stores. Even in the worst case, if RDRAND is something like
AES(NSA_KEY, counter++), it won't hurt, and it will definitely help
against any other adversaries.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

Andrew explains:
- various misc stuff
- Most of the rest of MM: memcg, threaded hugepages, others.
- cpumask
- kexec
- kdump
- some direct-io performance tweaking
- radix-tree optimisations
- new selftests code
A note on this: often people will develop a new userspace-visible
feature and will develop userspace code to exercise/test that
feature. Then they merge the patch and the selftest code dies.
Sometimes we paste it into the changelog. Sometimes the code gets
thrown into Documentation/(!).This saddens me. So this patch creates a bare-bones framework which
will henceforth allow me to ask people to include their test apps in
the kernel tree so we can keep them alive. Then when people enhance
or fix the feature, I can ask them to update the test app too.The infrastruture is terribly trivial at present - let's see how it
evolves.- checkpoint/restart feature work.
A note on this: this is a project by various mad Russians to perform
c/r mainly from userspace, with various oddball helper code added
into the kernel where the need is demonstrated.So rather than some large central lump of code, what we have is
little bits and pieces popping up in various places which either
expose something new or which permit something which is normally
kernel-private to be modified.The overall project is an ongoing thing. I've judged that the size
and scope of the thing means that we're more likely to be successful
with it if we integrate the support into mainline piecemeal rather
than allowing it all to develop out-of-tree.However I'm less confident than the developers that it will all
eventually work! So what I'm asking them to do is to wrap each piece
of new code inside CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE. So if it all
eventually comes to tears and the project as a whole fails, it should
be a simple matter to go through and delete all trace of it.This lot pretty much wraps up the -rc1 merge for me.

To ensure we don't receive any more interrupts from the host after we
enter the freeze function, disable all vq interrupts.There wasn't any problem seen due to this in tests, but applying this
patch makes the freeze case more robust.Signed-off-by: Amit Shah
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell -
Remove all vqs and associated buffers in the freeze callback which
prepares us to go into hibernation state. On restore, re-create all the
vqs and populate the input vqs with buffers to get to the pre-hibernate
state.Note: Any outstanding unconsumed buffers are discarded; which means
there's a possibility of data loss in case the host or the guest didn't
consume any data already present in the vqs. This can be addressed in a
later patch series, perhaps in virtio common code.Signed-off-by: Amit Shah

We still don't use rdrand in /dev/random, which just seems stupid. We
accept the *cycle*counter* as a random input, but we don't accept
rdrand? That's just broken.Sure, people can do things in user space (write to /dev/random, use
rdrand in addition to /dev/random themselves etc etc), but that
*still* seems to be a particularly stupid reason for saying "we
shouldn't bother to try to do better in /dev/random".And even if somebody really doesn't trust rdrand as a source of random
bytes, it seems singularly stupid to trust the cycle counter *more*.So I'd suggest the attached patch. I'm not going to even bother
arguing that we should add more bits to the entropy estimate, because
that's not the point - I don't care if /dev/random fills up slowly or
not, I think it's just stupid to not use the bits we can get from
rdrand and mix them into the strong randomness pool.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CA%2B55aFwn59N1=m651QAyTy-1gO1noGbK18zwKDwvwqnravA84A@mail.gmail.com
