I believe that's what it means, although even the TRM doesn't actually say. I'll try and remember to apply this after the merge window. Note that the UID value appears to be incorrect on anything other than Tegra20; I'll file an internal bug to track that down. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I sort of half-guessed it from the fact that it was being used as random seed in the crypto driver in drivers/crypto/tegra-aes.c > I'll try and remember to apply this after the merge window. > > Note that the UID value appears to be incorrect on anything other than > Tegra20; I'll file an internal bug to track that down. Hm, that will not affect the kernel entropy pool so much, but the crypto driver is in trouble since that seems to be the only entropy it's using :-( If it will return something like a constant, that is actually a quite valid case for initializing tmp[1] from the kernel entropy pool with get_random_bytes() instead of using UID. I don't know if the Tegra AES needs that specific initializer though (it seems not). Shall I propose a patch?

Shall I propose a patch? That sounds reasonable.

If that will work, I'll supply an alternate patch that replaces this, since I also want to remove the tegra_chip_uid() function, and need to make the add_device_randomness() call not use tegra_chip_uid() on Tegra30 or later, since the set of fuses for the chip ID changed radically. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

This seems to be possible, due to the comment above rand_initialize(): /* * Note that setup_arch() may call add_device_randomness() * long before we get here. This allows seeding of the pools * with some platform dependent data very early in the boot * process.

This adds a hook at common late init to extract the 64 bits of chip-unique data and throw it into the entropy pool to make it more device-unique.
