Subject: Re: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.17 16/43] random: use computational hash for
 entropy extraction

I should have said 'predicate', not 'axiom'.  Please review the
rigorous proof of correctness as listed on my github.  Another issue
I'd like to bring up in 5.17 is the apparent lack of mathematical
proofs and overuse of the word "entropy" when we should be using the
word uniqueness  - do we really want to go live with something that
isn't documented at all and just trust the word of any one individual?

My team put together mathematical proof of correctness, the onerious
of proving a defect in the implementation is up to individuals who run
the code and observe a failing - that is the point of code review.
The proposed changes to the pool means it no longer needs to be
"drained" or "accumulated", however we still may need a lock to make
sure the /dev/random device driver is ready for use prior to access.
Although I am actually not entirely convinced that this lock is needed
because it directly impacts boot time because of KSLR.  We could lock
and wait for the slow long term storage to wake up and feed us the
seed - but is that really necessary?  The alternate_rand() function in
the provided patch should be sufficient for the vast majority of
non-paranoid users, I don't see how a would-be adversary could
undermine this construction - sure it isn't ideally secure as a fully
loaded keypool - but it's good enough to thwart a memory corruption
exploit.  A fast boot option is preferable IMHO.

Regards,
Mike

If this axiom holds, then there would never be a reason to keep a global counter for how much “entropy” or uniqueness is in the pool - and that would remove the lock that handle_irq_event_percpu() is fighting over... which creates a condition where one lock is being battled over by every irq event - which is made worse as the machine has additional CPUs.  This one lock is so bad, it is basically a GIL, and we need to have a serious discussion on how to remove this one lock.

What if the pool was not a linear structure FILO structure, but actually a jump table?  What if access to this jump table was randomized, so that no two callers could take the same path through the table?  What if in addition, upon read - the reader "covers their tracks" and modifies their entrypoint into the table to prevent any other caller from being able to follow the same path?  This is exactly what keypoolrandom does.

Therefore, access using this method could never undermine the pool state - therefore this speciture structure never "drains" but rather becomes less and less predictable over time.

> This kind of jump table has been written and is called https://github.com/TheRook/KeypoolRandom.  This took three years to write, has been peer reviewed and has exquisite documentation, if you take the time to read over this code and the docs - I think you'll enjoy it.  This project is very easy to compile and to run - it is the software equivalent of a breakout board, and doesn't require a full kernel compile to see how it functions.
