From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 15:16:24 +0000 (-0700) Subject: Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso... X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v3.17/fixes-against-rc2~150 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4f142ed4ef835709c7e6d12eaca10d190bcebed;p=pandora-kernel.git Merge tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/tytso/random Pull randomness updates from Ted Ts'o: "Cleanups and bug fixes to /dev/random, add a new getrandom(2) system call, which is a superset of OpenBSD's getentropy(2) call, for use with userspace crypto libraries such as LibreSSL. Also add the ability to have a kernel thread to pull entropy from hardware rng devices into /dev/random" * tag 'random_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random: hwrng: Pass entropy to add_hwgenerator_randomness() in bits, not bytes random: limit the contribution of the hw rng to at most half random: introduce getrandom(2) system call hw_random: fix sparse warning (NULL vs 0 for pointer) random: use registers from interrupted code for CPU's w/o a cycle counter hwrng: add per-device entropy derating hwrng: create filler thread random: add_hwgenerator_randomness() for feeding entropy from devices random: use an improved fast_mix() function random: clean up interrupt entropy accounting for archs w/o cycle counters random: only update the last_pulled time if we actually transferred entropy random: remove unneeded hash of a portion of the entropy pool random: always update the entropy pool under the spinlock --- f4f142ed4ef835709c7e6d12eaca10d190bcebed Reading git-diff-tree failed
