commit 7a7ff644aeaf071d433caffb3b8ea57354b55bd3 upstream. In order to chip away at the "premature first" problem, we augment our existing entropy accounting with more frequent reseedings at boot. The idea is that at boot, we're getting entropy from various places, and we're not very sure which of early boot entropy is good and which isn't. Even when we're crediting the entropy, we're still not totally certain that it's any good. Since boot is the one time (aside from a compromise) that we have zero entropy, it's important that we shepherd entropy into the crng fairly often. At the same time, we don't want a "premature next" problem, whereby an attacker can brute force individual bits of added entropy. In lieu of going full-on Fortuna (for now), we can pick a simpler strategy of just reseeding more often during the first 5 minutes after boot. This is still bounded by the 256-bit entropy credit requirement, so we'll skip a reseeding if we haven't reached that, but in case entropy /is/ coming in, this ensures that it makes its way into the crng rather rapidly during these early stages. Ordinarily we reseed if the previous reseeding is 300 seconds old. This commit changes things so that for the first 600 seconds of boot time, we reseed if the previous reseeding is uptime / 2 seconds old. That means that we'll reseed at the very least double the uptime of the previous reseeding. Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jason A.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
