Commit 902c098a3663 ("random: use lockless techniques in the interrupt
path") turned IRQ path from being spinlock protected into lockless
cmpxchg-retry update.

That commit removed r->lock serialization between crediting entropy bits
from IRQ context and accounting when extracting entropy on userspace
read path, but didn't turn the r->entropy_count reads/updates in
account() to use cmpxchg as well.

It has been observed, that under certain circumstances this leads to
read() on /dev/urandom to return 0 (EOF), as r->entropy_count gets
corrupted and becomes negative, which in turn results in propagating 0
all the way from account() to the actual read() call.

Convert the accounting code to be the proper lockless counterpart of
what has been partially done by 902c098a3663.

Commit ec8f02da9ea5 ("random: prime last_data value per fips
requirements") added priming of last_data per fips requirements.

Unfortuantely, it did so in a way that can lead to multiple threads all
incrementing nbytes, but only one actually doing anything with the extra
data, which leads to some fun random corruption and panics.

The fix is to simply do everything needed to prime last_data in a single
shot, so there's no window for multiple cpus to increment nbytes -- in
fact, we won't even increment or decrement nbytes anymore, we'll just
extract the needed EXTRACT_SIZE one time per pool and then carry on with
the normal routine.

All these changes have been tested across multiple hosts and
architectures where panics were previously encoutered.  The code changes
are are strictly limited to areas only touched when when booted in fips
mode.

This change should also go into 3.8-stable, to make the myriads of fips
users on 3.8.x happy.

There are several places in kernel where modules unescapes input to convert
C-Style Escape Sequences into byte codes.

The patch provides generic implementation of such approach. Test cases are
also included into the patch.

  random: fix locking dependency with the tasklist_lock

Commit 6133705494bb introduced a circular lock dependency because
posix_cpu_timers_exit() is called by release_task(), which is holding
a writer lock on tasklist_lock, and this can cause a deadlock since
kill_fasync() gets called with nonblocking_pool.lock taken.

There's no reason why kill_fasync() needs to be taken while the random
pool is locked, so move it out to fix this locking dependency.

The static lock initializers want to be fed the proper name of the
lock and not some random string. In mainline random strings are
obfuscating the readability of debug output, but for RT they prevent
the spinlock substitution. Fix it up.

The value stored in last_data must be primed for FIPS 140-2 purposes. Upon
first use, either on system startup or after an RNDCLEARPOOL ioctl, we
need to take an initial random sample, store it internally in last_data,
then pass along the value after that to the requester, so that consistency
checks aren't being run against stale and possibly known data.

The module parameter that turns debugging mode (which basically means
printing a few extra lines during runtime) is in '#if 0' block. Forcing
everyone who would like to see how entropy is behaving on his system to
rebuild seems to be a little bit too harsh.

If we were concerned about speed, we could potentially turn 'debug' into a
static key, but I don't think it's necessary.

Drop the '#if 0' block to allow using the 'debug' parameter without rebuilding.

Mix in any architectural randomness in extract_buf() instead of
xfer_secondary_buf().  This allows us to mix in more architectural
randomness, and it also makes xfer_secondary_buf() faster, moving a
tiny bit of additional CPU overhead to process which is extracting the
randomness.
