random: Mix cputime from each thread that exits to the pool

When a thread exits mix it's cputime (userspace + kernelspace) to the entropy pool.

We don't know how "random" this is, so we use add_device_randomness that doesn't mess
with entropy count.

random: simplify loop in random_read

The loop condition never changes until just before a break, so we
might as well write it as a constant.  Also since a996996dd75a
("random: drop weird m_time/a_time manipulation") we don't do anything
after the loop finishes, so the 'break's might as well return
directly.  Some other simplifications.

There should be no change in behavior introduced by this commit.

random: simplify accounting logic

This logic is exactly equivalent to the old logic, but it should
be easier to see what it's doing.

The equivalence depends on one fact from outside this function:
when 'r->limit' is false, 'reserved' is zero.  (Well, two facts;
the other is that 'reserved' is never negative.)

random: simplify accounting code

With this we handle "reserved" in just one place.  As a bonus the
code becomes less nested, and the "wakeup_write" flag variable
becomes unnecessary.  The variable "flags" was already unused.

This code behaves identically to the previous version except in
two pathological cases that don't occur.  If the argument "nbytes"
is already less than "min", then we didn't previously enforce
"min".  If r->limit is false while "reserved" is nonzero, then we
previously applied "reserved" in checking whether we had enough
bits, even though we don't apply it to actually limit how many we
take.  The callers of account() never exercise either of these cases.

Before the previous commit, it was possible for "nbytes" to be less
than "min" if userspace chose a pathological configuration, but no
longer.

random: fix nasty entropy accounting bug

Commit 0fb7a01af5b0 "random: simplify accounting code", introduced in
v3.15, has a very nasty accounting problem when the entropy pool has
has fewer bytes of entropy than the number of requested reserved
bytes.  In that case, "have_bytes - reserved" goes negative, and since
size_t is unsigned, the expression:

       ibytes = min_t(size_t, ibytes, have_bytes - reserved);

... does not do the right thing.  This is rather bad, because it
defeats the catastrophic reseeding feature in the
xfer_secondary_pool() path.

It also can cause the "BUG: spinlock trylock failure on UP" for some
kernel configurations when prandom_reseed() calls get_random_bytes()
in the early init, since when the entropy count gets corrupted,
credit_entropy_bits() erroneously believes that the nonblocking pool
has been fully initialized (when in fact it is not), and so it calls
prandom_reseed(true) recursively leading to the spinlock BUG.

The logic is *not* the same it was originally, but in the cases where
it matters, the behavior is the same, and the resulting code is
hopefully easier to read and understand.

random: check for increase of entropy_count because of signed conversion

The expression entropy_count -= ibytes << (ENTROPY_SHIFT + 3) could
actually increase entropy_count if during assignment of the unsigned
expression on the RHS (mind the -=) we reduce the value modulo
2^width(int) and assign it to entropy_count. Trinity found this.

[ Commit modified by tytso to add an additional safety check for a
  negative entropy_count -- which should never happen, and to also add
  an additional paranoia check to prevent overly large count values to
  be passed into urandom_read().  ]

ext4: Speedup WB_SYNC_ALL pass called from sync(2)

When doing filesystem wide sync, there's no need to force transaction
commit (or synchronously write inode buffer) separately for each inode
because ext4_sync_fs() takes care of forcing commit at the end (VFS
takes care of flushing buffer cache, respectively). Most of the time
this slowness doesn't manifest because previous WB_SYNC_NONE writeback
doesn't leave much to write but when there are processes aggressively
creating new files and several filesystems to sync, the sync slowness
can be noticeable. In the following test script sync(1) takes around 6
minutes when there are two ext4 filesystems mounted on a standard SATA
drive. After this patch sync takes a couple of seconds so we have about
two orders of magnitude improvement.

      function run_writers
      {
        for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do
          mkdir $1/dir$i
          for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do
            dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null

Added USE_LDRDSTRD_OVER_LDMSTM to turn on LDRD/STRD optimization.
Added ARM_PLD_SIZE, default 32. Should set to 64 for Cortex-A15.
