However, if workqueues are not up and running (yet), it will fail. New draft below! Thanks, Dominik --- Currently, if CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is enabled, mutliple calls to add_bootloader_randomness() are broken and can cause a NULL pointer dereference, as noted by Ivan T. Ivanov. This is not only a hypothetical problem, as qemu on arm64 may provide bootloader entropy via EFI and via devicetree. On the first call to add_hwgenerator_randomness(), crng_fast_load() is executed, and if the seed is long enough, crng_init will be set to 1. However, no entropy is currently credited for that, even though the name and description of CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER states otherwise. On subsequent calls to add_bootloader_randomness() and then to add_hwgenerator_randomness(), crng_fast_load() will be skipped. Instead, wait_event_interruptible() (which makes no sense for the init process) and then credit_entropy_bits() will be called. If the entropy count for that second seed is large enough, that proceeds to crng_reseed(). However, crng_reseed() may depend on workqueues being available, which is not the case early during boot. To fix these issues, explicitly call crng_fast_load() or crng_slow_load() depending on whether the bootloader is trusted -- only in the first instance, crng_init may progress to 1. Also, mix the seed into the input pool unconditionally, and credit the entropy for that iff CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is set. However, avoid a call to crng_reseed() too early during boot. It is safe to be called after rand_initialize(), so use crng_global_init_time (which is set to != 0 in that function) to determine which branch to take. Reported-by: Ivan T.
