Subject: [PATCH 16/70] random: create add_device_randomness() interface
|
|
|
|
commit a2080a67abe9e314f9e9c2cc3a4a176e8a8f8793 upstream.
|
|
|
|
Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the
|
|
random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly
|
|
even per boot). This would be things like MAC addresses or serial
|
|
numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual
|
|
entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values
|
|
for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little
|
|
entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).
|
|
|
|
[ Modified by tytso to mix in a timestamp, since there may be some
|
|
variability caused by the time needed to detect/configure the hardware
|
|
in question. ]
