[PATCH 5.4 102/240] random: unify early init crng load accounting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 20 2022 - 09:45:19 EST


From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit da792c6d5f59a76c10a310c5d4c93428fd18f996 upstream.

crng_fast_load() and crng_slow_load() have different semantics:

- crng_fast_load() xors and accounts with crng_init_cnt.
- crng_slow_load() hashes and doesn't account.

However add_hwgenerator_randomness() can afford to hash (it's called
from a kthread), and it should account. Additionally, ones that can
afford to hash don't need to take a trylock but can take a normal lock.
So, we combine these into one function, crng_pre_init_inject(), which
allows us to control these in a uniform way. This will make it simpler
later to simplify this all down when the time comes for that.
