crypto: drbg - add FIPS 140-2 CTRNG for noise source
FIPS 140-2 section 4.9.2 requires a continuous self test of the noise source. Up to kernel 4.8 drivers/char/random.c provided this continuous self test. Afterwards it was moved to a location that is inconsistent with the FIPS 140-2 requirements. The relevant patch was e192be9d . Thus, the FIPS 140-2 CTRNG is added to the DRBG when it obtains the seed. This patch resurrects the function drbg_fips_continous_test that existed some time ago and applies it to the noise sources. The patch that removed the drbg_fips_continous_test was b3614763 . The Jitter RNG implements its own FIPS 140-2 self test and thus does not need to be subjected to the test in the DRBG. The patch contains a tiny fix to ensure proper zeroization in case of an error during the Jitter RNG data gathering. Signed-off-by:Stephan Mueller <smueller@chronox.de> Reviewed-by:
