Cover letter [PATCH resend 0/2] random: Use DRBG sources
[Resent because I forgot to email lkml. This also surreptitiously
fixes a silly typo on a patch description.]
This is my attempt to come up with a workable way to use so-called entropy sources like a TPM to feed /dev/urandom.
Arguably we should be feeding the input pool as well, but if the /dev/random algorithm is correct, this shouldn't matter. I don't want sensible use of TPMs for /dev/urandom to block on a long debate about /dev/random, so these patches have no effect on /dev/random.
