While the latent entropy plugin mostly doesn't derive entropy from get_random_const() for measuring the call graph, when __latent_entropy is applied to a constant, then it's initialized statically to output from get_random_const(). In that case, this data is derived from a 64-bit seed, which means a buffer of 512 bits doesn't really have that amount of compile-time entropy.
This patch fixes that shortcoming by just buffering chunks of /dev/urandom output and doling it out as requested.
At the same time, it's important that we don't break the use of -frandom-seed, for people who want the runtime benefits of the latent entropy plugin, while still having compile-time determinism. In that case, we detect whether gcc's set_random_seed() has been called by making a call to get_random_seed(noinit=true) in the plugin init function, which is called after set_random_seed() is called but before anything that calls get_random_seed(noinit=false), and seeing if it's zero or not. If it's not zero, we're in deterministic mode, and so we just generate numbers with a basic xorshift prng.
Fixes: 38addce8b600 ("gcc-plugins: Add latent_entropy plugin") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: PaX Team pageexec@freemail.hu Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld Jason@zx2c4.com --- Changes v1->v2: - Pipacs pointed out that using /dev/urandom unconditionally would break the use of -frandom-seed, so now we check for that and keep with something deterministic in that case.
I'm not super familiar with this plugin or its conventions, so pointers would be most welcome if something here looks amiss. The decision to buffer 2k at a time is pretty arbitrary too; I haven't measured usage.
