[PATCH v1 1/1] s390/arch_random: Buffer true random data

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

 



The trng instruction is very expensive and has a constant runtime for
getting 0 to 32 bytes of (conditioned) true random data. Calling trng for
in arch_get_random_seed_long() for each 8 bytes is too time-consuming,
especially if it is called in interrupt context.

This implementation buffers the trng data and deliver parts of it to the
callers. This reduces the costs by factor 4.

Drop the implementation for arch_get_random_seed_int(), because there are
no callers.
