Subject: [PATCH 4.19 03/32] s390/archrandom: prevent CPACF trng invocations in interrupt context
From: Harald Freudenberger <freude@...ux.ibm.com>
commit 918e75f77af7d2e049bb70469ec0a2c12782d96a upstream.
This patch slightly reworks the s390 arch_get_random_seed_{int,long}
implementation: Make sure the CPACF trng instruction is never
called in any interrupt context. This is done by adding an
additional condition in_task().
Justification:
There are some constrains to satisfy for the invocation of the
arch_get_random_seed_{int,long}() functions:
- They should provide good random data during kernel initialization.
- They should not be called in interrupt context as the TRNG
instruction is relatively heavy weight and may for example
make some network loads cause to timeout and buck.
However, it was not clear what kind of interrupt context is exactly
encountered during kernel init or network traffic eventually calling
arch_get_random_seed_long().
After some days of investigations it is clear that the s390
start_kernel function is not running in any interrupt context and
so the trng is called:
Jul 11 18:33:39 t35lp54 kernel: [<00000001064e90ca>] arch_get_random_seed_long.part.0+0x32/0x70

Jul 11 18:33:39 t35lp54 kernel: [<000000010590402a>] startup_continue+0x2a/0x40
The condition in_task() is true and the CPACF trng provides random data
during kernel startup.
The network traffic however, is more difficult. A typical call stack
looks like this:

which confirms that the call is in softirq context. So in_task() covers exactly
the cases where we want to have CPACF trng called: not in nmi, not in hard irq,
not in soft irq but in normal task context and during kernel init.
