      random: create add_device_randomness() interface · a2080a67
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Add a new interface, add_device_randomness() for adding data to the
      random pool that is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly
      even per boot).  This would be things like MAC addresses or serial
      numbers, or the read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual
      entropy to the pool, but it initializes the pool to different values
      for devices that might otherwise be identical and have very little
      entropy available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).
      
      [ Modified by tytso to mix in a timestamp, since there may be some
        variability caused by the time needed to detect/configure the hardware
        in question. ]

      random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt path · 902c098a
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      The real-time Linux folks don't like add_interrupt_randomness() taking
      a spinlock since it is called in the low-level interrupt routine.
      This also allows us to reduce the overhead in the fast path, for the
      random driver, which is the interrupt collection path.

      random: make 'add_interrupt_randomness()' do something sane · 775f4b29
      Theodore Ts'o authored
      We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
      reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
      CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
      from a somewhat externally controllable source.
      
      This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
      to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
      During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
      pool.  Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
      initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool.  This
      assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
      possible.
      
      (Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by
      tytso.)

      watchdog: core: fix WDIOC_GETSTATUS return value · 8b9468d4
      Wim Van Sebroeck authored
      In commit 7a879824 we added
      a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results
      however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the
      driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not
      according to the API that says that when we don't support
      the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value.
      Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an
      error.

      watchdog: iTCO_wdt: add platform driver module alias · e5de32e3
      Jan Beulich authored
      The recent conversion of iTCO_wdt resulted in the driver no longer
      getting loaded automatically, since it no longer has a
      MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() included. As the lpc_ich driver now creates a
      platform device, auto-loading can easily be done by having a respective
      module alias in place.
