[PATCH 4.14.y] efi: random: reduce seed size to 32 bytes

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

 



From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 161a438d730dade2ba2b1bf8785f0759aba4ca5f upstream.

We no longer need at least 64 bytes of random seed to permit the early
crng init to complete. The RNG is now based on Blake2s, so reduce the
EFI seed size to the Blake2s hash size, which is sufficient for our
purposes.

While at it, drop the READ_ONCE(), which was supposed to prevent size
from being evaluated after seed was unmapped. However, this cannot
actually happen, so READ_ONCE() is unnecessary here. [stable:
READ_ONCE() wasn't backported in the first place.]
