In omap4_rng_init(), a check of bit 10 of the RNG_CONFIG_REG is done to determine whether the RNG is running. This is suspicious firstly due to the use of RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK and secondly because the same mask is written to RNG_CONTROL_REG after configuration of the FROs. Similar suspicious logic is repeated in omap4_rng_cleanup() when RNG_CONTROL_REG masked with RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK is read, the same mask bit is cleared, and then written to RNG_CONFIG_REG. Unless the TRNG is enabled with one bit in RNG_CONTROL and disabled with another in RNG_CONFIG and these bits are mirrored in some way, I believe that the TRNG is not really shutting off. Apart from the strange logic, I have reason to suspect that the OMAP4 related code in this driver is driving an Inside Secure IP hardware RNG and strongly suspect that bit 10 of RNG_CONFIG_REG is one of the bits configuring the sampling rate of the FROs. This option is by default set to 0 and is not being set anywhere in omap-rng.c. Reading this bit during omap4_rng_init() will always return 0. It will remain 0 because ~(value of TRNG_MASK in control) will always be 0, because the TRNG is never shut off. This is of course presuming that the OMAP4 features the Inside Secure IP. I'm interested in knowing what the guys at TI think about this, as only they can confirm or deny the detailed structure of these registers. --- drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c b/drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c index d14dcf7..67151cb 100644 --- a/drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c +++ b/drivers/char/hw_random/omap-rng.c @@ -236,7 +236,7 @@ static int omap4_rng_init(struct omap_rng_dev *priv) u32 val; /* Return if RNG is already running. */ - if (omap_rng_read(priv, RNG_CONFIG_REG) & RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK) + if (omap_rng_read(priv, RNG_CONTROL_REG) & RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK) return 0; val = RNG_CONFIG_MIN_REFIL_CYCLES << RNG_CONFIG_MIN_REFIL_CYCLES_SHIFT; @@ -262,7 +262,7 @@ static void omap4_rng_cleanup(struct omap_rng_dev *priv) val = omap_rng_read(priv, RNG_CONTROL_REG); val &= ~RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK; - omap_rng_write(priv, RNG_CONFIG_REG, val); + omap_rng_write(priv, RNG_CONTROL_REG, val); } static irqreturn_t omap4_rng_irq(int irq, void *dev_id) -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
