Jason A. Donenfeld 5e126f6880 random: do not throw away excess input to crng_fast_load 
[ Upstream commit 73c7733f12 ]

When crng_fast_load() is called by add_hwgenerator_randomness(), we
currently will advance to crng_init==1 once we've acquired 64 bytes, and
then throw away the rest of the buffer. Usually, that is not a problem:
When add_hwgenerator_randomness() gets called via EFI or DT during
setup_arch(), there won't be any IRQ randomness. Therefore, the 64 bytes
passed by EFI exactly matches what is needed to advance to crng_init==1.
Usually, DT seems to pass 64 bytes as well -- with one notable exception
being kexec, which hands over 128 bytes of entropy to the kexec'd kernel.
In that case, we'll advance to crng_init==1 once 64 of those bytes are
consumed by crng_fast_load(), but won't continue onward feeding in bytes
to progress to crng_init==2. This commit fixes the issue by feeding
any leftover bytes into the next phase in add_hwgenerator_randomness().

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
