The prandom_u32() function has been a deprecated inline wrapper around
get_random_u32() for several releases now, and compiles down to the
exact same code. Replace the deprecated wrapper with a direct call to
the real function. The same also applies to get_random_int(), which is
just a wrapper around get_random_u32(). This was done as a basic find
and replace.

Rather than incurring a division or requesting too many random bytes for
the given range, use the prandom_u32_max() function, which only takes
the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions. This was
done mechanically with this coccinelle script:

<title>rslib: Fix remaining decoder flaws</title>
<updated>2019-06-26T12:55:47+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=991305dee585dd9e3107b2e253778ed02ee3fbd1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:991305dee585dd9e3107b2e253778ed02ee3fbd1</id>
<content type='text'>
The decoder is flawed in the following ways:

- The decoder sometimes fails silently, i.e. it announces success but
  returns a word that is not a codeword.

- The return value of the decoder is incoherent with respect to how
  fixed erasures are counted. If the word to be decoded is a codeword,
  then the decoder always returns zero even if some erasures are given.
  On the other hand, if the word to be decoded contains errors, then the
  number of erasures is always included in the count of corrected
  symbols. So the decoder handles erasures without symbol corruption
  inconsistently. This inconsistency probably doesn't affect anyone
  using the decoder, but it is inconsistent with the documentation.

- The error positions returned in eras_pos include all erasures, but the
  corrections are only set in the correction buffer if there actually is
  a symbol error. So if there are erasures without symbol corruption,
  then the correction buffer will contain errors (unless initialized to
  zero before calling the decoder) or some values will be unset (if the
  correction buffer is uninitialized).

- When correcting data in-place the decoder does not correct errors in
  the parity. On the other hand, when returning the errors in correction
  buffers, errors in the parity are included.

The respective fixed are:

- The syndrome of a codeword is always zero, and the syndrome is linear,
  .i.e, S(x+e) = S(x) + S(e). So compute the syndrome for the error and
  check whether it equals the syndrome of the received word. If it does,
  then we have decoded to a valid codeword, otherwise we know that we
  have an uncorrectable error. Fortunately, some unrecoverable error
  conditions can be detected earlier in the decoding, which saves some
  processing power.

- Simply count and return the number of symbols actually corrected.

- Make sure to only return positions where symbols were corrected.

- Also fix errors in parity when correcting in-place. Another option
  would be to completely disregard errors in the parity, but then the
  interface makes it impossible to write tests that test for silent
  failures.

Other changes:

- Only fill the correction buffer and error position buffer if both of
  them are provided. Otherwise correct in place. Previously the error
  position buffer was always populated with the positions of the
  corrected errors, irrespective of whether a correction buffer was
  supplied or not. The rationale for this change is that there seems to
  be two use cases for the decoder; correct in-place or use the
  correction buffers. The caller does not need the positions of the
  corrected errors when in-place correction is used. If in-place
  correction is not used, then both the correction buffer and error
  position buffer need to be populated.

there must be room for at least 1 data and nroots parity symbols after
