Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 5/9] net: introduce new macro net_get_random_once
net_get_random_once is a new macro which handles the initialization
of secret keys. It is possible to call it in the fast path. Only the
initialization depends on the spinlock and is rather slow. Otherwise
it should get used just before the key is used to delay the entropy
extration as late as possible to get better randomness. It returns true
if the key got initialized.
The usage of static_keys for net_get_random_once is a bit uncommon so
it needs some further explanation why this actually works:
=== In the simple non-HAVE_JUMP_LABEL case we actually have ===
no constrains to use static_key_(true|false) on keys initialized with
STATIC_KEY_INIT_(FALSE|TRUE). So this path just expands in favor of
the likely case that the initialization is already done. The key is
initialized like this:
___done_key = { .enabled = ATOMIC_INIT(0) }
The check
if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \
expands into (pseudo code)
if (!likely(___done_key > 0))
, so we take the fast path as soon as ___done_key is increased from the
helper function.
=== If HAVE_JUMP_LABELs are available this depends ===
on patching of jumps into the prepared NOPs, which is done in
jump_label_init at boot-up time (from start_kernel). It is forbidden
and dangerous to use net_get_random_once in functions which are called
before that!
At compilation time NOPs are generated at the call sites of
net_get_random_once. E.g. net/ipv6/inet6_hashtable.c:inet6_ehashfn (we
need to call net_get_random_once two times in inet6_ehashfn, so two NOPs):
71: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
76: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
Both will be patched to the actual jumps to the end of the function to
call __net_get_random_once at boot time as explained above.
arch_static_branch is optimized and inlined for false as return value and
actually also returns false in case the NOP is placed in the instruction
stream. So in the fast case we get a "return false". But because we
initialize ___done_key with (enabled != (entries & 1)) this call-site
will get patched up at boot thus returning true. The final check looks
like this:
if (!static_key_true(&___done_key)) \
___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \
expands to
if (!!static_key_false(&___done_key)) \
___ret = __net_get_random_once(buf, \
So we get true at boot time and as soon as static_key_slow_inc is called
on the key it will invert the logic and return false for the fast path.
static_key_slow_inc will change the branch because it got initialized
with .enabled == 0. After static_key_slow_inc is called on the key the
branch is replaced with a nop again.
=== Misc: ===
The helper defers the increment into a workqueue so we don't
have problems calling this code from atomic sections. A seperate boolean
(___done) guards the case where we enter net_get_random_once again before
the increment happend.

I tested this patchset with !CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO and with CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO
on x86_64.
I quickly reviewed that all architectures which implement HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
also patch all branch sites on boot-up. But this needs further review
as this is a security sensitive patch series.
Thank you!
