[ 36/70] random: mix in architectural randomness in extract_buf()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Mon Aug 06 2012 - 23:42:13 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit d2e7c96af1e54b507ae2a6a7dd2baf588417a7e5 upstream.

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.

[ Commit description modified by tytso to remove an extended
advertisement for the RDRAND instruction. ]
