From 7c77d1f9ba1137ece88223a0d49e3cb6157f89f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2022 23:53:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change commit b8ac29b40183a6038919768b5d189c9bd91ce9b4 upstream. The rng's random_init() function contributes the real time to the rng at boot time, so that events can at least start in relation to something particular in the real world. But this clock might not yet be set that point in boot, so nothing is contributed. In addition, the relation between minor clock changes from, say, NTP, and the cycle counter is potentially useful entropic data. This commit addresses this by mixing in a time stamp on calls to settimeofday and adjtimex. No entropy is credited in doing so, so it doesn't make initialization faster, but it is still useful input to have.
