[PATCH net-next v4 0/9] Introduce support to lazy initialize mostly static keys

From: Hannes Frederic Sowa
Date: Sat Oct 19 2013 - 15:50:42 EST


Hi!

This series implements support for delaying the initialization of secret
keys, e.g. used for hashing, for as long as possible. This functionality
is implemented by a new macro, net_get_random_bytes.

I already used it to protect the socket hashes, the syncookie secret
(most important) and the tcp_fastopen secrets.

Changelog:
v2) Use static_keys in net_get_random_once to have as minimal impact to
the fast-path as possible.
v3) added patch "static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was called":
Patch "x86/jump_label: expect default_nop if static_key gets enabled
on boot-up" relaxes the checks for using static_key primitives before
jump_label_init. So tighten them first.
v4) Update changelog on the patch "static_key: WARN on usage before
jump_label_init was called"

Included patches:
ipv4: split inet_ehashfn to hash functions per compilation unit
ipv6: split inet6_ehashfn to hash functions per compilation unit
static_key: WARN on usage before jump_label_init was called
x86/jump_label: expect default_nop if static_key gets enabled on boot-up
net: introduce new macro net_get_random_once
inet: split syncookie keys for ipv4 and ipv6 and initialize with net_get_random_once
inet: convert inet_ehash_secret and ipv6_hash_secret to net_get_random_once
tcp: switch tcp_fastopen key generation to net_get_random_once
net: switch net_secret key generation to net_get_random_once
