Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] x86/hyperv: Use Hyper-V entropy to seed guest random number generator
From: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@...look.com>
A Hyper-V host provides its guest VMs with entropy in a custom ACPI
table named "OEM0". The entropy bits are updated each time Hyper-V
boots the VM, and are suitable for seeding the Linux guest random
number generator (rng). See a brief description of OEM0 in [1].
Generation 2 VMs on Hyper-V use UEFI to boot. Existing EFI code in
Linux seeds the rng with entropy bits from the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL.
Via this path, the rng is seeded very early during boot with good
entropy. The ACPI OEM0 table is still provided in such VMs, though
it isn't needed.
But Generation 1 VMs on Hyper-V boot from BIOS. For these VMs, Linux
doesn't currently get any entropy from the Hyper-V host. While this
is not fundamentally broken because Linux can generate its own entropy,
using the Hyper-V host provided entropy would get the rng off to a
better start and would do so earlier in the boot process.
Improve the rng seeding for Generation 1 VMs by having Hyper-V specific
code in Linux take advantage of the OEM0 table to seed the rng. Because
the OEM0 table is custom to Hyper-V, parse it directly in the Hyper-V
code in the Linux kernel and use add_bootloader_randomness() to
seed the rng. Once the entropy bits are read from OEM0, zero them
out in the table so they don't appear in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/OEM0
in the running VM.
An equivalent change is *not* made for Linux VMs on Hyper-V for
ARM64. Such VMs are always Generation 2 and the rng is seeded
with entropy obtained via the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL as described above.

Changes in v2:
* Tweaked commit message [Wei Liu]
* Removed message when OEM0 table isn't found. Added debug-level
message when OEM0 is successfully used to add randomness. [Wei Liu]
