random: fix data race on crng init time
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 009ba85 upstream.

_extract_crng() does plain loads of crng->init_time and
crng_global_init_time, which causes undefined behavior if
crng_reseed() and RNDRESEEDCRNG modify these corrently.

Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to make the behavior defined.

Don't fix the race on crng->init_time by protecting it with crng->lock,
since it's not a problem for duplicate reseedings to occur.  I.e., the
lockless access with READ_ONCE() is fine.

Fixes: d848e5f ("random: add new ioctl RNDRESEEDCRNG")
Fixes: e192be9 ("random: replace non-blocking pool with a Chacha20-based CRNG")
