From 3fa980dddd8df8f7f25ef0abf4bb844c0c8a0b1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 14:11:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf(messages): draw the pad length from the thread RNG random_pad_len seeded a fresh StdRng to produce a single byte: 32 bytes of seed pulled from the thread generator, a full ChaCha12 key schedule and a 256-byte block generated, all so it could return (x & 0x0F) + 1. Use the thread-local generator directly. It is the same already-seeded ChaCha12 CSPRNG, so this is not a weakening of the entropy source, and the distribution is untouched. The identical fix already exists in request.rs for message_id_at; it was never applied here. Measured on a pinned core: 759 -> 41 retired instructions per call under callgrind, 99.1 -> 3.3 ns per call. The pad is drawn twice per DM send. --- wacore/src/messages.rs | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/wacore/src/messages.rs b/wacore/src/messages.rs index 4a2676dc6..241a22925 100644 --- a/wacore/src/messages.rs +++ b/wacore/src/messages.rs @@ -138,7 +138,9 @@ impl core::fmt::Write for Utf8Sink<'_> { impl MessageUtils { fn random_pad_len() -> u8 { use rand::RngExt; - let mut rng = rand::make_rng::(); + // The thread-local generator directly: seeding a fresh StdRng per + // plaintext ran a full ChaCha key schedule to produce one byte. + let mut rng = rand::rng(); // Uniform 1..=16, matching WA Web / whatsmeow (rand%16 + 1).
