Subject: [PATCH] Revert "efi/random: Treat EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL output as bootloader randomness"
Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2021 11:27:08 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211012082708.121931-1-iivanov@suse.de> (raw)
This reverts commit 18b915ac6b0ac5ba7ded03156860f60a9f16df2b.
When CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is enabled add_bootloader_randomness()
calls add_hwgenerator_randomness() which might sleep, but this is not
possible during early kernel initialization. This revert fixes following
NULL pointer deference:
[ 0.000000] efi: seeding entropy pool
[ 0.000000] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000
...

[ 0.000000] lr : add_hwgenerator_randomness+0x58/0x178
...
