random: silence compiler warnings and fix race
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Odd versions of gcc for the sh4 architecture will actually warn about
flags being used while uninitialized, so we set them to zero. Non crazy
gccs will optimize that out again, so it doesn't make a difference.

Next, over aggressive gccs could inline the expression that defines
use_lock, which could then introduce a race resulting in a lock
imbalance. By using READ_ONCE, we prevent that fate. Finally, we make
that assignment const, so that gcc can still optimize a nice amount.

Finally, we fix a potential deadlock between primary_crng.lock and
batched_entropy_reset_lock, where they could be called in opposite
order. Moving the call to invalidate_batched_entropy to outside the lock
rectifies this issue.
