Subject: [PATCH 0/2] s390: provide hardware randomness from zcrypt card to /dev/random
Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2013 18:41:37 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1309021831020.2540@linux.site> (raw)
Hi Ted!
A while ago a colleague asked me if it was possible to speed up system
startup on IBM system Z that was slow because of ASLR and the entropy pool
was empty. They had recently intoduced new crypto cards that featured good
hardware random generators. My resulting code has meanwhile taken a good
amount of testing and a bunch of corner cases were fixed. It should now be
ready for mainline.
