UML generally does not provide access to special CPU instructions like RDRAND, and execution tends to be rather deterministic, with no real hardware interrupts, making good randomness really very hard, if not all together impossible. Not only is this a security eyebrow raiser, but it's also quite annoying when trying to do various pieces of UML-based automation that takes a long time to boot, if ever.
Fix this by trivially calling getrandom() in the host and using that seed as "bootloader randomness", which initializes the rng immediately at UML boot.
The old behavior can be restored the same way as on any other arch, by way of CONFIG_TRUST_BOOTLOADER_RANDOMNESS=n or random.trust_bootloader=0. So seen from that perspective, this just makes UML act like other archs, which is positive in its own right.

- UML helper threads must not handle SIGWINCH/INT/TERM
I am probably missing something here.
IIRC UML RNG device reads directly from host.
If you are using UMLs own /dev/random you are effectively using the host one.
So unless I am mistaken, you need extra randomness only if you do not have UMLs /dev/random compiled in.
Apologies for possible duplicates - I initially did not reply-all by mistake.

Yes, but that's a /dev/hwrng device, so you still need some userspace to feed entropy from that into /dev/random.

No, neither of those is true.

What you say about types.h strikes me as true from how libc programming usually works everywhere else. But I actually copy and pasted that snippet, including the comment, from user.h. So I guess user.h doesn't break because of something else. Anyway, I'll change it to sys/types.h and send a v2.

Not only is this a security eyebrow raiser, but it's also quite annoying when trying to do various pieces of UML-based automation that takes a long time to boot, if ever.
Fix this by trivially calling getrandom() in the host and using that seed as "bootloader randomness", which initializes the rng immediately at UML boot.
The old behavior can be restored the same way as on any other arch, by way of CONFIG_TRUST_BOOTLOADER_RANDOMNESS=n or random.trust_bootloader=0. So seen from that perspective, this just makes UML act like other archs, which is positive in its own right.
Additionally, wire up arch_get_random_{int,long}() in the same way, so that reseeds can also make use of the host RNG, controllable by CONFIG_TRUST_CPU_RANDOMNESS and random.trust_cpu, per usual.

Johannes - I need to take this through random.git, because it relies on some other changes living there. Is that okay with you? -Jason
Sure, go ahead, thanks for doing this work!
Changes v3->v4:
- Don't include os.h, per Johannes' suggestion.
Thanks.
