[PATCH] efi: random: increase size of firmware supplied randomness

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The crng code requires at least 64 bytes (2 * CHACHA20_BLOCK_SIZE)
to complete the fast boot-time init, so provide that many bytes
when invoking UEFI protocols to seed the entropy pool. Also, add
a notice so we can tell from the boot log when the seeding actually
took place.
