Subject: [PATCH 2/2] s390: provide hardware randomness from zcrypt card to /dev/random
Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2013 18:44:03 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LNX.2.00.1309021842441.2540@linux.site> (raw)


Running completely virtualised, system Z severely lacks good true random sources.
Gathering entropy in a virtual environment is difficult. To compensate, there is
specialised crypto hardware which includes a source for hardware randomness;
the zcrypt driver is able to access this random source. This patch adds a kernel
thread that feeds the rendom bits via the interface created with the previous patch.
