crypto: ansi_cprng - fix inverted DT increment routine
The ANSI X9.31 PRNG docs aren't particularly clear on how to increment DT, but empirical testing shows we're incrementing from the wrong end. A 10,000 iteration Monte Carlo RNG test currently winds up not getting the expected result. From http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/documents/rng/RNGVS.pdf : # CAVS 4.3 # ANSI931 MCT [X9.31] [AES 128-Key] COUNT = 0 Key = 9f5b51200bf334b5d82be8c37255c848 DT = 6376bbe52902ba3b67c925fa701f11ac V = 572c8e76872647977e74fbddc49501d1 R = 48e9bd0d06ee18fbe45790d5c3fc9b73 Currently, we get 0dd08496c4f7178bfa70a2161a79459a after 10000 loops. Inverting the DT increment routine results in us obtaining the expected result of 48e9bd0d06ee18fbe45790d5c3fc9b73. Verified on both x86_64 and ppc64.
