[PATCH 1/2] virtio-rng: implement entropy leak feature

From: Babis Chalios
Date: Thu Jan 19 2023 - 13:44:52 EST


Implement the virtio-rng feature that allows a guest driver to request
from the device to perform certain operations in the event of an
"entropy leak", such as when taking a VM snapshot or restoring a VM from
a snapshot. The guest can request one of two operations: (i) fill a
buffer with random bytes, or (ii) perform a memory copy between two
bytes.

The feature is similar to Microsoft's Virtual Machine Generation ID and
it can be used to (1) avoid the race-condition that exists in our
current VMGENID implementation, between the time vcpus are resumed and
the ACPI notification is being handled and (2) provide mechanisms for
notifying user-space about snapshot-related events.

This commit implements the protocol between guest and device.
Additionally, it makes sure there is always a request for random bytes
in the event of entropy leak in-flight. Once such an event is observed,
the driver feeds these bytes to as entropy using
`add_device_randomness`.

Keep in mind that this commit does not solve the race-condition issue,
it adds fresh entropy whenever the driver handles the used buffer from
the fill-on-leak request. In order to close the race window, we need to
expose some API so that other kernel subsystems can request directly
notifications from the device.
