Eric Biggers 009ba8568b random: fix data race on crng init time
_extract_crng() does plain loads of crng->init_time and
crng_global_init_time, which causes undefined behavior if
crng_reseed() and RNDRESEEDCRNG modify these corrently.

Use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() to make the behavior defined.

Don't fix the race on crng->init_time by protecting it with crng->lock,
since it's not a problem for duplicate reseedings to occur.  I.e., the
lockless access with READ_ONCE() is fine.

Fixes: d848e5f8e1 ("random: add new ioctl RNDRESEEDCRNG")
Fixes: e192be9d9a ("random: replace non-blocking pool with a Chacha20-based CRNG")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
