The embedded controller code is mainly used on x86 laptops and cannot
work without PC style I/O port access.
Make this a user-visible configuration option that is default enabled
on x86 but otherwise disabled, and that can never be enabled unless
CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT is also available.
The empty stubs in internal.h help ignore the EC code in configurations
that don't support it. In order to see those stubs, the sbshc code also
has to include this header and drop duplicate declarations.
All the direct callers of ec_read/ec_write already had an x86
dependency and now also need to depend on APCI_EC.

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

It's very unusual to have both a command line option and a compile time
option, and apparently that's confusing to people. Also, basically
everybody enables the compile time option now, which means people who
want to disable this wind up having to use the command line option to
ensure that anyway. So just reduce the number of moving pieces and nix
the compile time option in favor of the more versatile command line
option.

When RDRAND was introduced, there was much discussion on whether it
should be trusted and how the kernel should handle that. Initially, two
mechanisms cropped up, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM, a compile time switch, and
"nordrand", a boot-time switch.
Later the thinking evolved. With a properly designed RNG, using RDRAND
values alone won't harm anything, even if the outputs are malicious.
Rather, the issue is whether those values are being *trusted* to be good
or not. And so a new set of options were introduced as the real
ones that people use -- CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu".
With these options, RDRAND is used, but it's not always credited. So in
the worst case, it does nothing, and in the best case, maybe it helps.
Along the way, CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM's meaning got sort of pulled into the
center and became something certain platforms force-select.
The old options don't really help with much, and it's a bit odd to have
special handling for these instructions when the kernel can deal fine
with the existence or untrusted existence or broken existence or
non-existence of that CPU capability.
Simplify the situation by removing CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM and using the
ordinary asm-generic fallback pattern instead, keeping the two options
that are actually used. For now it leaves "nordrand" for now, as the
removal of that will take a different route.

This commit changes the default Kconfig values of RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and
RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER to be Y by default. It does not change any
existing configs or change any kernel behavior. The reason for this is
several fold.
As background, I recently had an email thread with the kernel
maintainers of Fedora/RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine,
SUSE, and Void as recipients. I noted that some distros trust RDRAND,
some trust EFI, and some trust both, and I asked why or why not. There
wasn't really much of a "debate" but rather an interesting discussion of
what the historical reasons have been for this, and it came up that some
distros just missed the introduction of the bootloader Kconfig knob,
while another didn't want to enable it until there was a boot time
switch to turn it off for more concerned users (which has since been
added). The result of the rather uneventful discussion is that every
major Linux distro enables these two options by default.
While I didn't have really too strong of an opinion going into this
thread -- and I mostly wanted to learn what the distros' thinking was
one way or another -- ultimately I think their choice was a decent
enough one for a default option (which can be disabled at boot time).
I'll try to summarize the pros and cons:
Pros:
- The RNG machinery gets initialized super quickly, and there's no
messing around with subsequent blocking behavior.
- The bootloader mechanism is used by kexec in order for the prior
kernel to initialize the RNG of the next kernel, which increases
the entropy available to early boot daemons of the next kernel.
- Previous objections related to backdoors centered around
Dual_EC_DRBG-like kleptographic systems, in which observing some
amount of the output stream enables an adversary holding the right key
to determine the entire output stream.
This used to be a partially justified concern, because RDRAND output
was mixed into the output stream in varying ways, some of which may
have lacked pre-image resistance (e.g. XOR or an LFSR).
But this is no longer the case. Now, all usage of RDRAND and
bootloader seeds go through a cryptographic hash function. This means
that the CPU would have to compute a hash pre-image, which is not
considered to be feasible (otherwise the hash function would be
terribly broken).
- More generally, if the CPU is backdoored, the RNG is probably not the
realistic vector of choice for an attacker.
- These CPU or bootloader seeds are far from being the only source of
entropy. Rather, there is generally a pretty huge amount of entropy,
not all of which is credited, especially on CPUs that support
instructions like RDRAND. In other words, assuming RDRAND outputs all
zeros, an attacker would *still* have to accurately model every single
other entropy source also in use.
- The RNG now reseeds itself quite rapidly during boot, starting at 2
seconds, then 4, then 8, then 16, and so forth, so that other sources
of entropy get used without much delay.
- Paranoid users can set random.trust_{cpu,bootloader}=no in the kernel
command line, and paranoid system builders can set the Kconfig options
to N, so there's no reduction or restriction of optionality.
- It's a practical default.
- All the distros have it set this way. Microsoft and Apple trust it
too. Bandwagon.
Cons:
- RDRAND *could* still be backdoored with something like a fixed key or
limited space serial number seed or another indexable scheme like
that. (However, it's hard to imagine threat models where the CPU is
backdoored like this, yet people are still okay making *any*
computations with it or connecting it to networks, etc.)
- RDRAND *could* be defective, rather than backdoored, and produce
garbage that is in one way or another insufficient for crypto.
- Suggesting a *reduction* in paranoia, as this commit effectively does,
may cause some to question my personal integrity as a "security
person".
- Bootloader seeds and RDRAND are generally very difficult if not all
together impossible to audit.
Keep in mind that this doesn't actually change any behavior. This
is just a change in the default Kconfig value. The distros already are
shipping kernels that set things this way.
Ard made an additional argument in [1]:
We're at the mercy of firmware and micro-architecture anyway, given
that we are also relying on it to ensure that every instruction in
the kernel's executable image has been faithfully copied to memory,
and that the CPU implements those instructions as documented. So I
don't think firmware or ISA bugs related to RNGs deserve special
treatment - if they are broken, we should quirk around them like we
usually do. So enabling these by default is a step in the right
direction IMHO.
In [2], Phil pointed out that having this disabled masked a bug that CI
otherwise would have caught:
A clean 5.15.45 boots cleanly, whereas a downstream kernel shows the
static key warning (but it does go on to boot). The significant
difference is that our defconfigs set CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER=y
defining that on top of multi_v7_defconfig demonstrates the issue on
a clean 5.15.45. Conversely, not setting that option in a
downstream kernel build avoids the warning

If CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU is set, the RNG initializes using RDRAND.
But, the user can disable (or enable) this behavior by setting
`random.trust_cpu=0/1` on the kernel command line. This allows system
builders to do reasonable things while avoiding howls from tinfoil
hatters. (Or vice versa.)
CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_BOOTLOADER is basically the same thing, but regards
the seed passed via EFI or device tree, which might come from RDRAND or
a TPM or somewhere else. In order to allow distros to more easily enable
this while avoiding those same howls (or vice versa), this commit adds
the corresponding `random.trust_bootloader=0/1` toggle.

* we do *not* remove the N_R3964 constant definition from tty.h, so it
remains reserved.
* in_interrupt() check is now removed from vt's con_put_char. Noone else
