[v28,11/12] LRNG - add interface for gathering of raw entropy

Commit Message

Stephan Mueller Jan. 15, 2020, 10:35 a.m. UTC

The test interface allows a privileged process to capture the raw
unconditioned noise that is collected by the LRNG for statistical
analysis. Such testing allows the analysis how much entropy
the interrupt noise source provides on a given platform.
Extracted noise data is not used to seed the LRNG. This
is a test interface and not appropriate for production systems.
Yet, the interface is considered to be sufficiently secured for
production systems.

Access to the data is given through the lrng_raw debugfs file. The
data buffer should be multiples of sizeof(u32) to fill the entire
buffer. Using the option lrng_testing.boot_test=1 the raw noise of
the first 1000 entropy events since boot can be sampled.

This test interface allows generating the data required for
analysis whether the LRNG is in compliance with SP800-90B
sections 3.1.3 and 3.1.4.

One line for the string, please.

may I ask the question whether this should be done for all lines with printk 
statements? As checkpatch.pl will complain if you have lines larger than 80 
chars and complains about line-broken printk statements, I am always unsure 
which way to go.

All printk statements in the patch series have line-broken printk statements.

It's for grep-ability of the strings.
grepping for partial strings would work as is, but then one would need to know
what partial string to search for.

Ok, I am changing all these strings to one-liners even though checkpatch.pl 
will complain.
