From eed01a6b3e563bcc6cbe27ab046dc3cd46febd22 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 21:43:12 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] random: treat bootloader trust toggle the same way as cpu trust toggle commit d97c68d178fbf8aaaf21b69b446f2dfb13909316 upstream. If CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU is set, the RNG initializes using RDRAND. But, the user can disable (or enable) this behavior by setting `random.trust_cpu=0/1` on the kernel command line. This allows system builders to do reasonable things while avoiding howls from tinfoil hatters. (Or vice versa.) CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is basically the same thing, but regards the seed passed via EFI or device tree, which might come from RDRAND or a TPM or somewhere else. In order to allow distros to more easily enable this while avoiding those same howls (or vice versa), this commit adds the corresponding `random.trust_bootloader=0/1` toggle.
