crypto: jitter - Allow configuration of oversampling rate
commit 0baa8fab334a4d7017235b72fa8a547433572109 upstream. The oversampling rate used by the Jitter RNG allows the configuration of the heuristically implied entropy in one timing measurement. This entropy rate is (1 / OSR) bits of entropy per time stamp. Considering that the Jitter RNG now support APT/RCT health tests for different OSRs, allow this value to be configured at compile time to support systems with limited amount of entropy in their timer. The allowed range of OSR values complies with the APT/RCT cutoff health test values which range from 1 through 15. The default value of the OSR selection support is left at 1 which is the current default. Thus, the addition of the configuration support does not alter the default Jitter RNG behavior.

The Jitter RNG allows the specification of an oversampling rate (OSR).
|
||||
The Jitter RNG operation requires a fixed amount of timing
|
||||
measurements to produce one output block of random numbers. The
|
||||
OSR value is multiplied with the amount of timing measurements to
|
||||
generate one output block. Thus, the timing measurement is oversampled
|
||||
by the OSR factor. The oversampling allows the Jitter RNG to operate
|
||||
on hardware whose timers deliver limited amount of entropy (e.g.
|
||||
the timer is coarse) by setting the OSR to a higher value. The
|
||||
trade-off, however, is that the Jitter RNG now requires more time
|
||||
to generate random numbers.
