kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: Fix hostname polling 2022-10-23T19:01:01+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2022-10-23T19:01:01+00:00 52826d3b2d1d8e1180a84bef7d72596d6a024a38 Commit bfca3dd3d068 ("kernel/utsname_sysctl.c: print kernel arch") added a new entry to the uts_kern_table[] array, but didn't update the UTS_PROC_xyz enumerators of older entries, breaking anything that used them. Which is admittedly not many cases: it's really just the two uses of uts_proc_notify() in kernel/sys.c. But apparently journald-systemd actually uses this to detect hostname changes.

utsname: contribute changes to RNG 2022-09-29T19:37:27+00:00 Jason A.

I've seen, for example, 8 character alpha-numeric serial numbers. In addition, the time at which the hostname is set is usually a decent measurement of how long early boot took. So, call add_device_randomness() on new hostnames, which feeds its arguments to the RNG in addition to a fresh cycle counter. Low cost hooks like this never hurt and can only ever help, and since this costs basically nothing for an operation that is never a fast path, this is an overall easy win.
