init/main.c: extract early boot entropy from the passed cmdline
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Feed the boot command-line as to the /dev/random entropy pool

Existing Android bootloaders usually pass data which may not be known by
an external attacker on the kernel command-line.  It may also be the
case on other embedded systems.  Sample command-line from a Google Pixel
running CopperheadOS....

Among other things, it contains a value unique to the device
(androidboot.serialno=FA6CE0305299), unique to the OS builds for the
device variant (veritykeyid=id:dfcb9db0089e5b3b4090a592415c28e1cb4545ab)
and timings from the bootloader stages in milliseconds
(androidboot.boottime=1BLL:85,1BLE:669,2BLL:0,2BLE:1777,SW:6,KL:8136).
