x86/hyperv: Use Hyper-V entropy to seed guest random number generator
A Hyper-V host provides its guest VMs with entropy in a custom ACPI table named "OEM0". The entropy bits are updated each time Hyper-V boots the VM, and are suitable for seeding the Linux guest random number generator (rng). See a brief description of OEM0 in [1]. Generation 2 VMs on Hyper-V use UEFI to boot. Existing EFI code in Linux seeds the rng with entropy bits from the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. Via this path, the rng is seeded very early during boot with good entropy. The ACPI OEM0 table provided in such VMs is an additional source of entropy. Generation 1 VMs on Hyper-V boot from BIOS. For these VMs, Linux doesn't currently get any entropy from the Hyper-V host. While this is not fundamentally broken because Linux can generate its own entropy, using the Hyper-V host provided entropy would get the rng off to a better start and would do so earlier in the boot process. Improve the rng seeding for Generation 1 VMs by having Hyper-V specific code in Linux take advantage of the OEM0 table to seed the rng. For Generation 2 VMs, use the OEM0 table to provide additional entropy beyond the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. Because the OEM0 table is custom to Hyper-V, parse it directly in the Hyper-V code in the Linux kernel and use add_bootloader_randomness() to add it to the rng. Once the entropy bits are read from OEM0, zero them out in the table so they don't appear in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/OEM0 in the running VM. The zero'ing is done out of an abundance of caution to avoid potential security risks to the rng. Also set the OEM0 data length to zero so a kexec or other subsequent use of the table won't try to use the zero'ed bits.
