commit 359653aaacad463d916323f03c0ac3c47405aafa
Author: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
Date: Wed Jan 16 18:10:56 2019 +0000
Do not use HP_TIMING_NOW for random bits
This patch removes the HP_TIMING_BITS usage for fast random bits and replace
with clock_gettime (CLOCK_MONOTONIC). It has unspecified starting time and
nano-second accuracy, so its randomness is significantly better than
gettimeofday.
Althoug it should incur in more overhead (specially for architecture that
support hp-timing), the symbol is also common implemented as a vDSO.
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu. I also
checked on a i686-gnu build.
* include/random-bits.h: New file.
* resolv/res_mkquery.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (RANDOM_BITS,
(__res_context_mkquery): Remove usage hp-timing usage and replace with
random_bits.
* resolv/res_send.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (nameserver_offset): Likewise.
* sysdeps/posix/tempname.c [HP_TIMING_AVAIL] (__gen_tempname):
Likewise.
