[RFC PATCH v1 23/50] prandom_seed_state(): Change to 32-bit seed type.

From: George Spelvin
Date: Sat Mar 28 2020 - 12:45:43 EST


It only uses 32 bits of the seed anyway, and the vast majority
of callers pass in 32-bit values. The only exceptions are:
* Several self-tests used a fixed seed of 3141592653589793238ULL.
Changed to 3141592653.
* arch/x86/mm/kaslr.c uses a seed from kaslr_get_random_long().
It's already well-mixed, so truncating it is no worse than
the previous xor-folding.

(We could use the folded equivalent 32-bit seed for the self-tests,
but we just changed the PRNG algorithm, so the self-tests will
change across these commits anyway.)
