[PATCH 5.10 491/545] timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b8ac29b40183a6038919768b5d189c9bd91ce9b4 ]

The rng's random_init() function contributes the real time to the rng at
boot time, so that events can at least start in relation to something
particular in the real world. But this clock might not yet be set that
point in boot, so nothing is contributed. In addition, the relation
between minor clock changes from, say, NTP, and the cycle counter is
potentially useful entropic data.

This commit addresses this by mixing in a time stamp on calls to
settimeofday and adjtimex. No entropy is credited in doing so, so it
doesn't make initialization faster, but it is still useful input to
have.
