Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into the kernel entropy pool. Included: virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate random_data dynamically with kmalloc.

Hardware Random Number Generator Core infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
module will be called rng-core. This provides a device
|
|
that's usually called /dev/hw_random, and which exposes one
|
|
of possibly several hardware random number generators.
|
|
|
|
These hardware random number generators do not feed directly
|
|
into the kernel's random number generator. That is usually
|
|
handled by the "rngd" daemon. Documentation/hw_random.txt
|
|
has more information.
