If RANDOMIZE_BASE is enabled in the Linux kernel instructing it to
randomize the virtual address at which the kernel image is loaded, it
expects entropy to be provided by the bootloader by populating
/chosen/kaslr-seed with a 64-bit value from source of entropy at boot.
Add a fdt_kaslrseed function to accommodate this allowing an existing
node to be overwritten if present. For now use the first rng device
but it would be good to enhance this in the future to allow some sort
of selection or policy in choosing the rng device used.

A recurring theme on LKML is the boot process deadlocking due to some
process blocking waiting for random numbers, while the kernel's
Cryptographic Random Number Generator (crng) is not initalized yet,
but that very blocking means no activity happens that would generate
the entropy necessary to finalize seeding the crng.
This is not a problem on boards that have a good hwrng (when the
kernel is configured to trust it), whether in the CPU or in a TPM or
elsewhere. However, that's far from all boards out there. Moreover,
there are consumers in the kernel that try to obtain random numbers
very early, before the kernel has had any chance to initialize any
hwrng or other peripherals.
Allow a board to provide a board_rng_seed() function, which is
responsible for providing a value to be put into the rng-seed property
under the /chosen node.
The board code is responsible for how to actually obtain those
bytes.
- One possibility is for the board to load a seed "file" from
somewhere (it need not be a file in a filesystem of course), and
then ensure that that the same seed file does not get used on
subsequent boots.
* One way to do that is to delete the file, or otherwise mark it as
invalid, then rely on userspace to create a new one, and living
with the possibility of not finding a seed file during some boots.
* Another is to use the scheme used by systemd-boot and create a new
seed file immediately, but in a way that the seed passed to the
kernel and the new (i.e. next) seed cannot be deduced from each
other, see the explanation at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190929090512.GB13049@gardel-login/
and the current code at
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/boot/efi/random-seed.c
- The board may have an hwrng from which some bytes can be read; while
the kernel can also do that, doing it in U-Boot and providing a seed
ensures that even very early users in the kernel get good random
numbers.
- If the board has a sensor of some sort (temperature, humidity, GPS,
RTC, whatever), mixing in a reading of that doesn't hurt.
- etc. etc.
These can of course be combined.
The rng-seed property is mixed into the pool used by the linux
kernel's CRNG very early during boot. Whether it then actually
contributes towards the kernel considering the CRNG initialized
depends on whether the kernel has been configured with
CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER (nowadays overridable via the
random.trust_bootloader command line option). But that's for the BSP
developer to ultimately decide.
So, if the board needs to have all that logic, why not also just have
it do the actual population of /chosen/rng-seed in ft_board_setup(),
which is not that many extra lines of code?
I considered that, but decided handling this logically belongs in
fdt_chosen(). Also, apart from saving the board code from the few
lines of boilerplate, doing it in ft_board_setup() is too late for at
least some use cases. For example, I want to allow the board logic to
decide
ok, let's pass back this buffer and use that as seed, but also let's
set random.trust_bootloader=n so no entropy is credited.
This requires the rng-seed handling to happen before bootargs
handling. For example, during the very first boot, the board might not
have a proper seed file, but the board could still return (a hash of)
some CPU serial# or whatnot, so that at least no two boards ever get
the same seed - the kernel always mixes in the value passed in
rng-seed, but if it is not "trusted", the kernel would still go
through the same motions as it would if no rng-seed was passed before
considering its CRNG initialized. I.e., by returning that
unique-to-this-board value and setting random.trust_bootloader=n, the
board would be no worse off than if board_rng_seed() returned nothing
at all.

At present when building host tools, we force CONFIG_SHAxxx to be enabled
regardless of the board Kconfig setting. This is done in the image.h

For SPL we currently just assume the algorithm is desired if U-Boot proper

Clean this up by adding new Kconfig options to enable hashing on the host,
relying on CONFIG_IS_ENABLED() to deal with the different builds.
Add new SPL Kconfigs for hardware-accelerated hashing, to maintain the

The Linux coding style guide (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst)
clearly says:
It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.
Besides, using typedef for structures is annoying when you try to make
headers self-contained.
Let's say you have the following function declaration in a header:
void foo(bd_t *bd);
This is not self-contained since bd_t is not defined.
To tell the compiler what 'bd_t' is, you need to include <asm/u-boot.h>
#include <asm/u-boot.h>
void foo(bd_t *bd);
Then, the include direcective pulls in more bloat needlessly.
If you use 'struct bd_info' instead, it is enough to put a forward
declaration as follows:
struct bd_info;
void foo(struct bd_info *bd);
Right, typedef'ing bd_t is a mistake.
I used coccinelle to generate this commit.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
<smpl>
@@
typedef bd_t;
@@
-bd_t
+struct bd_info

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

Before device-tree, the device serial number used to be passed to the kernel
using ATAGs (on ARM). This is now deprecated and all the handover to the kernel
should now be done using device-tree. Thus, this passes the serial-number
property to the kernel using the serial-number property of the root node, as
expected by the kernel.
The serial number is a string that somewhat represents the device's serial
number. It might come from some form of storage (e.g. an eeprom) and be
programmed at factory-time by the manufacturer or come from identification
bits available in e.g. the SoC.
