[ Upstream commit b58a36008bfa1aadf55f516bcbfae40c779eb54b ]
The last RCU stall fix caused a massive throughput regression of the hwrng on Raspberry Pi 0 - 3. hwrng_msleep doesn't sleep precisely enough and usleep_range doesn't allow scheduling. So try to restore the best possible throughput by introducing hwrng_yield which interruptable sleeps for one jiffy.
Some performance measurements on Raspberry Pi 3B+ (arm64/defconfig):
sudo dd if=/dev/hwrng of=/dev/null count=1 bs=10000
cpu_relax ~138025 Bytes / sec hwrng_msleep(1000) ~13 Bytes / sec hwrng_yield ~2510 Bytes / sec
Fixes: 96cb9d055445 ("hwrng: bcm2835 - use hwrng_msleep() instead of cpu_relax()") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/bc97ece5-44a3-4c4e-77da-2db3eb66b12...
