This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled random: move initialization functions out of hot pages to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: random-move-initialization-functions-out-of-hot-pages.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Jun 16 07:08:33 PM CEST 2022 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 13 May 2022 16:17:12 +0200 Subject: random: move initialization functions out of hot pages From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit 560181c27b582557d633ecb608110075433383af upstream. Much of random.c is devoted to initializing the rng and accounting for when a sufficient amount of entropy has been added. In a perfect world, this would all happen during init, and so we could mark these functions as __init. But in reality, this isn't the case: sometimes the rng only finishes initializing some seconds after system init is finished. For this reason, at the moment, a whole host of functions that are only used relatively close to system init and then never again are intermixed with functions that are used in hot code all the time. This creates more cache misses than necessary. In order to pack the hot code closer together, this commit moves the initialization functions that can't be marked as __init into .text.unlikely by way of the __cold attribute. Of particular note is moving credit_init_bits() into a macro wrapper that inlines the crng_ready() static branch check. This avoids a function call to a nop+ret, and most notably prevents extra entropy arithmetic from being computed in mix_interrupt_randomness().
