[PATCH 5.15 54/57] randomize_kstack: Improve entropy diffusion

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

 



5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9c573cd313433f6c1f7236fe64b9b743500c1628 ]

The kstack_offset variable was really only ever using the low bits for
kernel stack offset entropy. Add a ror32() to increase bit diffusion.

Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
