- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)

Pull generic kernel entry/exit code from Thomas Gleixner:
"Generic implementation of common syscall, interrupt and exception
entry/exit functionality based on the recent X86 effort to ensure
correctness of entry/exit vs RCU and instrumentation.
As this functionality and the required entry/exit sequences are not
architecture specific, sharing them allows other architectures to
benefit instead of copying the same code over and over again.
This branch was kept standalone to allow others to work on it. The
conversion of x86 comes in a seperate pull request which obviously is
based on this branch"

Pull close_range() implementation from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the close_range() syscall. It allows to efficiently close a
range of file descriptors up to all file descriptors of a calling
task.
This is coordinated with the FreeBSD folks which have copied our
version of this syscall and in the meantime have already merged it in
April 2019:
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21627
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=359836
The syscall originally came up in a discussion around the new mount
API and making new file descriptor types cloexec by default. During
this discussion, Al suggested the close_range() syscall.
First, it helps to close all file descriptors of an exec()ing task.
This can be done safely via (quoting Al's example from [1] verbatim):
/* that exec is sensitive */
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
/* we don't want anything past stderr here */
close_range(3, ~0U);
execve(....);
The code snippet above is one way of working around the problem that
file descriptors are not cloexec by default. This is aggravated by the
fact that we can't just switch them over without massively regressing
userspace. For a whole class of programs having an in-kernel method of
closing all file descriptors is very helpful (e.g. demons, service
managers, programming language standard libraries, container managers
etc.).
Second, it allows userspace to avoid implementing closing all file
descriptors by parsing through /proc/<pid>/fd/* and calling close() on
each file descriptor and other hacks. From looking at various
large(ish) userspace code bases this or similar patterns are very
common in service managers, container runtimes, and programming
language runtimes/standard libraries such as Python or Rust.
In addition, the syscall will also work for tasks that do not have
procfs mounted and on kernels that do not have procfs support compiled
in. In such situations the only way to make sure that all file
descriptors are closed is to call close() on each file descriptor up
to UINT_MAX or RLIMIT_NOFILE, OPEN_MAX trickery.
Based on Linus' suggestion close_range() also comes with a new flag
CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE to more elegantly handle file descriptor dropping
right before exec. This would usually be expressed in the sequence:
unshare(CLONE_FILES);
close_range(3, ~0U);
as pointed out by Linus it might be desirable to have this be a part
of close_range() itself under a new flag CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE which
gets especially handy when we're closing all file descriptors above a
certain threshold.
Test-suite as always included"

Pull checkpoint-restore updates from Christian Brauner:
"This enables unprivileged checkpoint/restore of processes.
Given that this work has been going on for quite some time the first
sentence in this summary is hopefully more exciting than the actual
final code changes required. Unprivileged checkpoint/restore has seen
a frequent increase in interest over the last two years and has thus
been one of the main topics for the combined containers &
checkpoint/restore microconference since at least 2018 (cf. [1]).
Here are just the three most frequent use-cases that were brought forward:
- The JVM developers are integrating checkpoint/restore into a Java
VM to significantly decrease the startup time.
- In high-performance computing environment a resource manager will
typically be distributing jobs where users are always running as
non-root. Long-running and "large" processes with significant
startup times are supposed to be checkpointed and restored with
CRIU.
- Container migration as a non-root user.
In all of these scenarios it is either desirable or required to run
without CAP_SYS_ADMIN. The userspace implementation of
checkpoint/restore CRIU already has the pull request for supporting
unprivileged checkpoint/restore up (cf. [2]).
To enable unprivileged checkpoint/restore a new dedicated capability
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is introduced. This solution has last been
discussed in 2019 in a talk by Google at Linux Plumbers (cf. [1]
"Update on Task Migration at Google Using CRIU") with Adrian and
Nicolas providing the implementation now over the last months. In
essence, this allows the CRIU binary to be installed with the
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE vfs capability set thereby enabling
unprivileged users to restore processes.
To make this possible the following permissions are altered:
- Selecting a specific PID via clone3() set_tid relaxed from userns
CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
- Selecting a specific PID via /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid relaxed
from userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
- Accessing /proc/pid/map_files relaxed from init userns
CAP_SYS_ADMIN to init userns CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
- Changing /proc/self/exe from userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to userns
CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
Of these four changes the /proc/self/exe change deserves a few words
because the reasoning behind even restricting /proc/self/exe changes
in the first place is just full of historical quirks and tracking this
down was a questionable version of fun that I'd like to spare others.
In short, it is trivial to change /proc/self/exe as an unprivileged
user, i.e. without userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN right now. Either via ptrace()
or by simply intercepting the elf loader in userspace during exec.
Nicolas was nice enough to even provide a POC for the latter (cf. [3])
to illustrate this fact.
The original patchset which introduced PR_SET_MM_MAP had no
permissions around changing the exe link. They too argued that it is
trivial to spoof the exe link already which is true. The argument
brought up against this was that the Tomoyo LSM uses the exe link in
tomoyo_manager() to detect whether the calling process is a policy
manager. This caused changing the exe links to be guarded by userns
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
All in all this rather seems like a "better guard it with something
rather than nothing" argument which imho doesn't qualify as a great
security policy. Again, because spoofing the exe link is possible for
the calling process so even if this were security relevant it was
broken back then and would be broken today. So technically, dropping
all permissions around changing the exe link would probably be
possible and would send a clearer message to any userspace that relies
on /proc/self/exe for security reasons that they should stop doing
this but for now we're only relaxing the exe link permissions from
userns CAP_SYS_ADMIN to userns CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
There's a final uapi change in here. Changing the exe link used to
accidently return EINVAL when the caller lacked the necessary
permissions instead of the more correct EPERM. This pr contains a
commit fixing this. I assume that userspace won't notice or care and
if they do I will revert this commit. But since we are changing the
permissions anyway it seems like a good opportunity to try this fix.
With these changes merged unprivileged checkpoint/restore will be
possible and has already been tested by various users"

Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
"This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
{kernel_}clone_args.
High-level this does two main things:
- Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.
Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
kernel_clone_args.
- Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.
This switches all remaining architectures to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
has a copy_thread_tls() function.
The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
convention.
After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
_do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
function to exist.).
The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
probably well-known - somewhat odd:
#
# ABI hall of shame
#
config CLONE_BACKWARDS
config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
config CLONE_BACKWARDS3
that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.
So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
conventions...)
Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
mind).
Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.
Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
people yell if I broke something there.
All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
-x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
hands on a useable image"

Pull thread updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the changes to add the missing support for attaching to
time namespaces via pidfds.
Last cycle setns() was changed to support attaching to multiple
namespaces atomically. This requires all namespaces to have a point of
no return where they can't fail anymore.
Specifically, <namespace-type>_install() is allowed to perform
permission checks and install the namespace into the new struct nsset
that it has been given but it is not allowed to make visible changes
to the affected task. Once <namespace-type>_install() returns,
anything that the given namespace type additionally requires to be
setup needs to ideally be done in a function that can't fail or if it
fails the failure must be non-fatal.
For time namespaces the relevant functions that fell into this
category were timens_set_vvar_page() and vdso_join_timens(). The
latter could still fail although it didn't need to. This function is
only implemented for vdso_join_timens() in current mainline. As
discussed on-list (cf. [1]), in order to make setns() support time
namespaces when attaching to multiple namespaces at once properly we
changed vdso_join_timens() to always succeed. So vdso_join_timens()
replaces the mmap_write_lock_killable() with mmap_read_lock().
Please note that arm is about to grow vdso support for time namespaces
(possibly this merge window). We've synced on this change and arm64
also uses mmap_read_lock(), i.e. makes vdso_join_timens() a function
that can't fail. Once the changes here and the arm64 changes have
landed, vdso_join_timens() should be turned into a void function so
it's obvious to callers and implementers on other architectures that
the expectation is that it can't fail.
We didn't do this right away because it would've introduced
unnecessary merge conflicts between the two trees for no major gain.
As always, tests included"

Pull execve updates from Eric Biederman:
"During the development of v5.7 I ran into bugs and quality of
implementation issues related to exec that could not be easily fixed
because of the way exec is implemented. So I have been diggin into
exec and cleaning up what I can.
This cycle I have been looking at different ideas and different
implementations to see what is possible to improve exec, and cleaning
the way exec interfaces with in kernel users. Only cleaning up the
interfaces of exec with rest of the kernel has managed to stabalize
and make it through review in time for v5.9-rc1 resulting in 2 sets of
changes this cycle.
- Implement kernel_execve
- Make the user mode driver code a better citizen
With kernel_execve the code size got a little larger as the copying of
parameters from userspace and copying of parameters from userspace is
now separate. The good news is kernel threads no longer need to play
games with set_fs to use exec. Which when combined with the rest of

difficult"

Pull tasklets API update from Kees Cook:
"These are the infrastructure updates needed to support converting the
tasklet API to something more modern (and hopefully for removal
further down the road).
There is a 300-patch series waiting in the wings to get set out to
subsystem maintainers, but these changes need to be present in the
kernel first. Since this has some treewide changes, I carried this
series for -next instead of paining Thomas with it in -tip, but it's

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The most significant change here is the extension of the Energy Model
to cover non-CPU devices (as well as CPUs) from Lukasz Luba.
There is also some new hardware support (Ice Lake server idle states
table for intel_idle, Sapphire Rapids and Power Limit 4 support in the
RAPL driver), some new functionality in the existing drivers (eg. a
new switch to disable/enable CPU energy-efficiency optimizations in
intel_pstate, delayed timers in devfreq), some assorted fixes (cpufreq
core, intel_pstate, intel_idle) and cleanups (eg. cpuidle-psci,
devfreq), including the elimination of W=1 build warnings from cpufreq
done by Lee Jones.
Specifics:
- Make the Energy Model cover non-CPU devices (Lukasz Luba).
- Add Ice Lake server idle states table to the intel_idle driver and
eliminate a redundant static variable from it (Chen Yu, Rafael
Wysocki).
- Eliminate all W=1 build warnings from cpufreq (Lee Jones).
- Add support for Sapphire Rapids and for Power Limit 4 to the Intel
RAPL power capping driver (Sumeet Pawnikar, Zhang Rui).
- Fix function name in kerneldoc comments in the idle_inject power
capping driver (Yangtao Li).
- Fix locking issues with cpufreq governors and drop a redundant
"weak" function definition from cpufreq (Viresh Kumar).
- Rearrange cpufreq to register non-modular governors at the
core_initcall level and allow the default cpufreq governor to be
specified in the kernel command line (Quentin Perret).
- Extend, fix and clean up the intel_pstate driver (Srinivas
Pandruvada, Rafael Wysocki):
* Add a new sysfs attribute for disabling/enabling CPU
energy-efficiency optimizations in the processor.
* Make the driver avoid enabling HWP if EPP is not supported.
* Allow the driver to handle numeric EPP values in the sysfs
interface and fix the setting of EPP via sysfs in the active
mode.
* Eliminate a static checker warning and clean up a kerneldoc
comment.
- Clean up some variable declarations in the powernv cpufreq driver
(Wei Yongjun).
- Fix up the ->enter_s2idle callback definition to cover the case
when it points to the same function as ->idle correctly (Neal Liu).
- Rearrange and clean up the PSCI cpuidle driver (Ulf Hansson).
- Make the PM core emit "changed" uevent when adding/removing the
"wakeup" sysfs attribute of devices (Abhishek Pandit-Subedi).
- Add a helper macro for declaring PM callbacks and use it in the MMC
jz4740 driver (Paul Cercueil).
- Fix white space in some places in the hibernate code and make the
system-wide PM code use "const char *" where appropriate (Xiang
Chen, Alexey Dobriyan).
- Add one more "unsafe" helper macro to the freezer to cover the NFS
use case (He Zhe).
- Change the language in the generic PM domains framework to use
parent/child terminology and clean up a typo and some comment
fromatting in that code (Kees Cook, Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Update the operating performance points OPP framework (Lukasz Luba,
Andrew-sh.Cheng, Valdis Kletnieks):
* Refactor dev_pm_opp_of_register_em() and update related drivers.
* Add a missing function export.
* Allow disabled OPPs in dev_pm_opp_get_freq().
- Update devfreq core and drivers (Chanwoo Choi, Lukasz Luba, Enric
Balletbo i Serra, Dmitry Osipenko, Kieran Bingham, Marc Zyngier):
* Add support for delayed timers to the devfreq core and make the
Samsung exynos5422-dmc driver use it.
* Unify sysfs interface to use "df-" as a prefix in instance
names consistently.
* Fix devfreq_summary debugfs node indentation.
* Add the rockchip,pmu phandle to the rk3399_dmc driver DT
bindings.
* List Dmitry Osipenko as the Tegra devfreq driver maintainer.
* Fix typos in the core devfreq code.
- Update the pm-graph utility to version 5.7 including a number of
fixes related to suspend-to-idle (Todd Brandt).

Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:
"HW support updates:
- Add uncore support for Intel Comet Lake
- Add RAPL support for Hygon Fam18h
- Add Intel "IIO stack to PMON mapping" support on Skylake-SP CPUs,
which enumerates per device performance counters via sysfs and
enables the perf stat --iiostat functionality
- Add support for Intel "Architectural LBRs", which generalized the
model specific LBR hardware tracing feature into a
model-independent, architected performance monitoring feature.
Usage is mostly seamless to tooling, as the pre-existing LBR
features are kept, but there's a couple of advantages under the
hood, such as faster context-switching, faster LBR reads, cleaner
exposure of LBR features to guest kernels, etc.
( Since architectural LBRs are supported via XSAVE, there's related
changes to the x86 FPU code as well. )
ftrace/perf updates:
- Add support to add a text poke event to record changes to kernel

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.
Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
translation series from Lorenzo.
The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.
Summary:
- Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
provide LOAD -> LOAD/STORE ordering.
This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
to convert LOAD -> LOAD address dependencies into control
dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
LPC.
- Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.
- arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).
- Time namespace support for arm64.
- Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
makedumpfile and crash utilities.
- CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
(overlapping bit-fields).
- ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
and kernel memory.
- perf updates for arm64.
- Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.
- Trivial typos, duplicate words"

Pull unicore32 removal from Mike Rapoport:
"Remove unicore32 support.
The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there
is no upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all
the links to prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even
compilers that were available are not supported by the kernel anymore.
Guenter Roeck says:
"I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is
no available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am
surprised that support for it has not been removed from the kernel"
However, it's worth pointing out two things:
- Guan Xuetao is still listed as maintainer and asked for the port to
be kept around the last time Arnd suggested removing it two years
ago. He promised that there would be compiler sources (presumably
llvm), but has not made those available since.
- https://github.com/gxt has patches to linux-4.9 and qemu-2.7, both
released in 2016, with patches dated early 2019. These patches
mainly restore a syscall ABI that was never part of mainline Linux
but apparently used in production. qemu-2.8 removed support for
that ABI and newer kernels (4.19+) can no longer be built with the
old toolchain, so apparently there will not be any future updates
to that git tree"

Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
pull-request: bpf 2020-07-31
The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.
We've added 5 non-merge commits during the last 21 day(s) which contain
a total of 5 files changed, 126 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-).
The main changes are:
1) Fix a map element leak in HASH_OF_MAPS map type, from Andrii Nakryiko.
2) Fix a NULL pointer dereference in __btf_resolve_helper_id() when no
btf_vmlinux is available, from Peilin Ye.
3) Init pos variable in __bpfilter_process_sockopt(), from Christoph Hellwig.
4) Fix a cgroup sockopt verifier test by specifying expected attach type,
from Jean-Philippe Brucker.
Note that when net gets merged into net-next later on, there is a small
merge conflict in kernel/bpf/btf.c between commit 5b801dfb7feb ("bpf: Fix
NULL pointer dereference in __btf_resolve_helper_id()") from the bpf tree
and commit 138b9a0511c7 ("bpf: Remove btf_id helpers resolving") from the
net-next tree.
Resolve as follows: remove the old hunk with the __btf_resolve_helper_id()
function. Change the btf_resolve_helper_id() so it actually tests for a
NULL btf_vmlinux and bails out:
int btf_resolve_helper_id(struct bpf_verifier_log *log,
const struct bpf_func_proto *fn, int arg)
{
int id;
if (fn->arg_type[arg] != ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID || !btf_vmlinux)
return -EINVAL;
id = fn->btf_id[arg];
if (!id || id > btf_vmlinux->nr_types)
return -EINVAL;
return id;
}
Let me know if you run into any others issues (CC'ing Jiri Olsa so he's in
the loop with regards to merge conflict resolution).

Conflicts:
arch/arm/include/asm/percpu.h
As Stephen Rothwell noted, there's a conflict between this commit
in locking/core:
a21ee6055c30 ("lockdep: Change hardirq{s_enabled,_context} to per-cpu variables")
and this fresh upstream commit:
aa54ea903abb ("ARM: percpu.h: fix build error")
a21ee6055c30 is a simpler solution to the dependency problem and doesn't
further increase header hell - so this conflict resolution effectively
reverts aa54ea903abb and uses the a21ee6055c30 solution.

To improve the general usefulness of the IRQ state trace events with
KCSAN enabled, save and restore the trace information when entering and
exiting the KCSAN runtime as well as when generating a KCSAN report.
Without this, reporting the IRQ trace events (whether via a KCSAN report
or outside of KCSAN via a lockdep report) is rather useless due to
continuously being touched by KCSAN. This is because if KCSAN is
enabled, every instrumented memory access causes changes to IRQ trace
events (either by KCSAN disabling/enabling interrupts or taking
report_lock when generating a report).
Before "lockdep: Prepare for NMI IRQ state tracking", KCSAN avoided
touching the IRQ trace events via raw_local_irq_save/restore() and
lockdep_off/on().

Refactor the IRQ trace events fields, used for printing information
about the IRQ trace events, into a separate struct 'irqtrace_events'.
This improves readability by separating the information only used in
reporting, as well as enables (simplified) storing/restoring of
irqtrace_events snapshots.
No functional change intended.

Nowadays, modern kernel subsystems that use callbacks pass the data
structure associated with a given callback as argument to the callback.
The tasklet subsystem remains one which passes an arbitrary unsigned
long to the callback function. This has several problems:
- This keeps an extra field for storing the argument in each tasklet
data structure, it bloats the tasklet_struct structure with a redundant
.data field
- No type checking can be performed on this argument. Instead of
using container_of() like other callback subsystems, it forces callbacks
to do explicit type cast of the unsigned long argument into the required
object type.
- Buffer overflows can overwrite the .func and the .data field, so
an attacker can easily overwrite the function and its first argument
to whatever it wants.
Add a new tasklet initialization API, via DECLARE_TASKLET() and
tasklet_setup(), which will replace the existing ones.
This work is greatly inspired by the timer_struct conversion series,
see commit e99e88a9d2b0 ("treewide: setup_timer() -> timer_setup()")
To avoid problems with both -Wcast-function-type (which is enabled in
the kernel via -Wextra is several subsystems), and with mismatched
function prototypes when build with Control Flow Integrity enabled,
this adds the "use_callback" member to let the tasklet caller choose
which union member to call through. Once all old API uses are removed,
this and the .data member will be removed as well. (On 64-bit this does
not grow the struct size as the new member fills the hole after atomic_t,
which is also "int" sized.)

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.
Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.
In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state. For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.
