[PATCH v2] random: deobfuscate irq u32/u64 contributions

From: Jason A. Donenfeld
Date: Thu Feb 10 2022 - 12:14:00 EST


In the irq handler, we fill out 16 bytes differently on 32-bit and
64-bit platforms. Whether or not you like that, it is a matter of fact.
But it might not be a fact you well realized until now, because the code
that loaded the irq info into 4 32-bit words was quite confusing.
Instead, this commit makes everything explicit by having separate
(compile-time) branches for 32-bit and 64-bit machines. In the process,
we now easily see that we were truncating the contribution of
random_get_entropy() in mix_interrupt_randomness() which we rectify by
using the correct integer type.
