In case the entropy quality is low, there may be less than one bit to
credit in the call to add_hwgenerator_randomness(): The number of bytes
returned by rng_get_data() multiplied by the current quality (in entropy
bits per 1024 bits of input) must be larger than 128 to credit at least
one bit. However, imx-rngc.c sets the quality to 19, but may return less
than 32 bytes; hid_u2fzero.c sets the quality to 1; and users may override
the quality setting manually.
In case there is less than one bit to credit, keep track of it and add
that credit to the next iteration.

For two reasons, current_quality may become zero within the rngd
kernel thread: (1) The user lowers current_quality to 0 by writing
to the sysfs module parameter file (note that increasing the quality
from zero is without effect at the moment), or (2) there are two or
more hwrng devices registered, and those which provide quality>0 are
unregistered, but one with quality==0 remains.
If current_quality is 0, the randomness is not trusted and cannot help
to increase the entropy count. That will lead to continuous calls to
the hwrngd thread and continuous stirring of the input pool with
untrusted bits.

Using rng_buffer in add_early_randomness() may race with rng_dev_read().
Use rng_fillbuf instead, as it is otherwise only used within the kernel

According to <linux/hw_random.h>, the @max parameter of the ->read
callback "is a multiple of 4 and >= 32 bytes". That promise was not
kept by add_early_randomness(), which only asked for 16 bytes. As
rng_buffer_size() is at least 32, we can simply ask for 32 bytes.

hw-random device drivers depend on the hw-random core being
initialized. Make this ordering explicit, also for the case
these drivers are built-in. As the core itself depends on
misc_register() which is set up at subsys_initcall time,
advance the initialization of the core (only) to the
fs_initcall() level.

unregister after reset is clearly wrong - device
can be used while it's reset. There's an attempt to
protect against that using hwrng_removed but it
seems racy since access can be in progress
when the flag is set.
Just unregister, then reset seems simpler and cleaner.
NB: we might be able to drop hwrng_removed in a follow-up patch.

This RNG device is present on Marvell OcteonTx2 silicons as well and
also provides entropy health status.
HW continuously checks health condition of entropy and reports
faults. Fault is in terms of co-processor cycles since last fault
detected. This doesn't get cleared and only updated when new fault
is detected. Also there are chances of detecting false positives.
So to detect a entropy failure SW has to check if failures are
persistent ie cycles elapsed is frequently updated by HW.
This patch adds support to detect health failures using below algo.
1. Consider any fault detected before 10ms as a false positive and ignore.
10ms is chosen randomly, no significance.
2. Upon first failure detection make a note of cycles elapsed and when this
error happened in realtime (cntvct).
3. Upon subsequent failure, check if this is new or a old one by comparing
current cycles with the ones since last failure. cycles or time since
last failure is calculated using cycles and time info captured at (2).
HEALTH_CHECK status register is not available to VF, hence had to map
PF registers. Also since cycles are in terms of co-processor cycles,
had to retrieve co-processor clock rate from RST device.

When virtio-rng device was dropped by the hwrng core we were forced
to wait the buffer to come back from the device to not have
remaining ongoing operation that could spoil the buffer.
But now, as the buffer is internal to the virtio-rng we can release
the waiting loop immediately, the buffer will be retrieve and use
when the virtio-rng driver will be selected again.
This avoids to hang on an rng_current write command if the virtio-rng
device is blocked by a lack of entropy. This allows to select
another entropy source if the current one is empty.

hwrng core uses two buffers that can be mixed in the
virtio-rng queue.
If the buffer is provided with wait=0 it is enqueued in the
virtio-rng queue but unused by the caller.
On the next call, core provides another buffer but the
first one is filled instead and the new one queued.
And the caller reads the data from the new one that is not
updated, and the data in the first one are lost.
To avoid this mix, virtio-rng needs to use its own unique
internal buffer at a cost of a data copy to the caller buffer.

Currently mtk_rng_runtime_suspend/resume is called for both runtime pm
and system sleep operations.
This is wrong as these should only be runtime ops as the name already
suggests. Currently freezing the system will lead to a call to
mtk_rng_runtime_suspend even if the device currently isn't active. This
leads to a clock warning because it is disabled/unprepared although it
isn't enabled/prepared currently.
This patch fixes this by only setting the runtime pm ops and forces to
call the runtime pm ops from the system sleep ops as well if active but
not otherwise.

The "Arm True Random Number Generator Firmware Interface"[1] provides
an SMCCC based interface to a true hardware random number generator.
So far we are using that in arch_get_random_seed(), but it might be
useful to expose the entropy through the /dev/hwrng device as well. This
allows to assess the quality of the implementation, by using "rngtest"
from the rng-tools package, for example.
Add a simple platform driver implementing the hw_random interface.
The corresponding platform device is created by the SMCCC core code,
we just match it here by name and provide a module alias.
Since the firmware takes care about serialisation, this can happily
coexist with the arch_get_random_seed() bits.
