<title>hwrng: core - correct error check of kthread_run call</title>

commit 17fb874dee093139923af8ed36061faa92cc8e79 upstream.

The kthread_run() function can return two different error values
but the hwrng core only checks for -ENOMEM. If the other error
value -EINTR is returned it is assigned to hwrng_fill and later
used on a kthread_stop() call which naturally crashes.

Use the new group field of struct miscdevice for managing the sysfs
entries instead of manually adding/removing via device_create_file()
and device_remove_file().  This simplifies the code a lot and fixes
the possible races.

Hardware random number quality is measured from 0 (no entropy) to 1024
(perfect entropy). Allow hardware devices to assert the full range by
truncating the device-provided value at 1024 instead of 1023.

omap4_rng_init() checks bit 10 of the RNG_CONFIG_REG to determine whether
the RNG is already running before performing any initiliasation. This is not
the correct register to check, as the enable bit is in RNG_CONFIG_CONTROL.
Read from RNG_CONTROL_REG instead.

<title>hwrng: omap - Change RNG_CONFIG_REG to RNG_CONTROL_REG when checking and disabling TRNG</title>

<id>1a5addfe82d2778fc3651d1f8adbf5ea5b3b0560</id>
<content type='text'>
In omap4_rng_init(), a check of bit 10 of the RNG_CONFIG_REG is done to determine
whether the RNG is running. This is suspicious firstly due to the use of
RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK and secondly because the same mask is written to
RNG_CONTROL_REG after configuration of the FROs. Similar suspicious logic is
repeated in omap4_rng_cleanup() when RNG_CONTROL_REG masked with
RNG_CONTROL_ENABLE_TRNG_MASK is read, the same mask bit is cleared, and then
written to RNG_CONFIG_REG. Unless the TRNG is enabled with one bit in RNG_CONTROL
and disabled with another in RNG_CONFIG and these bits are mirrored in some way,
I believe that the TRNG is not really shutting off.

Apart from the strange logic, I have reason to suspect that the OMAP4 related
code in this driver is driving an Inside Secure IP hardware RNG and strongly
suspect that bit 10 of RNG_CONFIG_REG is one of the bits configuring the
sampling rate of the FROs. This option is by default set to 0 and is not being
set anywhere in omap-rng.c. Reading this bit during omap4_rng_init() will
always return 0. It will remain 0 because ~(value of TRNG_MASK in control) will
always be 0, because the TRNG is never shut off. This is of course presuming
that the OMAP4 features the Inside Secure IP.

I'm interested in knowing what the guys at TI think about this, as only they
can confirm or deny the detailed structure of these registers.
